<div>It is an interesting conundrum. It really can't be integrated into searches per se because it isn't guide data. It doesn't fit in the traditional role of the program guide because the programs are instantly available without notice. How did you envision this appearing? Would you expect to see feed "recording rules" along side normal rules in the Recording Priorities list? I can see that, but then also it really doesn't require a priority because it can't compete with other rules. I can't see them appearing in the guide because, again, we have no future data for the feed. The only place they really need to appear is 1) Watch Recordings and 2) The screens you use to set them up.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Since 1) is just a DB import, 2) really is the crux and seems to really be best managed by MythNews which already has the facility for setting up feeds on the frontend. What were your ideas?</div></div></div></blockquote>

<div>I know you're not asking me, but it makes sense to me to add a component to MythNews that updates feeds in the background and also checks a setting that says, "When metadata contains this regex, download to storage directory and insert into Watch Recordings". Not sure much else is needed.</div>

<div>That's pretty much where I was headed with it. The regex/search would come after the background downloading. I'm not sure yet if I'd code up our own downloader or just set up a link to something like podcatcher which could handle it all on a cron basis. Of course, it's one more external dependency so attempting a native one has some value.</div>
