[mythtv-users] "Record this show on this day every week"

Are you just trying to record all new episodes once a week?

Set to "record any time on any channel"
and set "record new episodes only" for duplicate policy.


what i kind of want is an option kind of like
"find one episode and record"
but
"find and record one episode every day"

this would be good for "the daily show"
where the same episode is shown up to four times per day
but the time slots vary and often there is no subtitle to use 
for dupe detection.

currently i just picked one timeslot and I hope for no conflicts
since that's better than recording it four times per day

come to think of it
a "max episodes per day" setting wouldn't be bad either

if i set "that seventies show" to record at any time
i get 7 unique episodes per day!

setting a max of 2 per day would be nice i think
i know i could set it to just not record new ones when max episodes is reached
but it wouldn't really work

say i watched "the daily show" and deleted it
it now shouldn't record again until tomorrow

say, i let it record up to two episodes of that seventies show
come tomorrow, unless i don't delete them, i don't get new ones.


Sorry for the long brainstorm
