Merry Christmas everyone - no offense to those that don't celebrate it
As per my previous post I have just upgraded to 0.22; and while I
still have some work with sorting out meta data across my library for
JAMU and all my music needing a bit of a tidy up; I just came across a
scheduling challenge.
I like watching a programme but it is repeated far too often on
freeview in the UK. I dont mind watching the same episode
occasionally; there are a few ways to set this up in Myth:
I have two schedules setup for this programme:
1 - record all on specific channel with priority of 5 with duplicate
matching against all recordings
2 - record all on all channels with priority of -2 with duplicate
matching against current recordings only and a limit of 5 shows.
this isn't perfect though as if I watch a show (recorded with 2) and
delete it; if it is shown shortly afterwards it re-records the same
show.
I was wondering if this duplicate option would be worth investigating:
- check for duplicates in current recordings AND in previous
recordings within x time-period (time-period would be configurable).
Just an idea... have I missed something; have I overlooked the option
or just dont understand it?
thanks and have a great new year
