I'm aware of how to schedule the recording once I know<br>that this is going on, but my question is more about<br>how to see that the HDTV recording is going to take<br>place in the first place.<br><br>I ended up writing a couple SQL queries for this. For

program.hdtv = 1 and<br> program.starttime > now()<br> group by program.programid<br> order by program.starttime<br><br>and for commercials:<br><br> select recordedprogram.title,<br>
recordedprogram.subtitle,<br> channelA.callsign, channelA.name, channelB.callsign,<br>channelB.name,<br> program.starttime<br> from recordedprogram as recordedprogram, channel as<br>
channelA, program as program, channel as channelB<br> where recordedprogram.chanid = channelA.chanid and<br> program.programid = recordedprogram.programid and<br> program.chanid = channelB.chanid
and<br> channelB.commfree != 0 and channelA.commfree = 0<br> group by program.programid<br> order by program.starttime<br><br>I ran these queries and found two episodes that I want<br>to re-record so I did these manually. However I am
<br>curious as to whether Myth can do this automatically.<br>Perhaps an option within the duplicate detection<br>algorithm that will not flag something as a duplicate<br>if the existing recording is not HDTV and the new<br>
scheduled recording is?<br><div class="Ih2E3d"><br></div></blockquote></div><br>Sounds like you should make those sql queries into a userjob script that is run for your default recording profile. The script could automate this process for you. It would require some work on your part, but you wouldn't have to wait for a fix in svn, although I agree this would be a nice feature.
