I see your point but FWIW, I like pulling it out of the database.

They do show up, the problem is so are the active rules, which are what
I want to eliminate.  The purpose of this query is to get a list of
things that are "new" and that I might want to record, which naturally
should exclude any rules which I have converted to a "record any time
any channel" and activated.

Heh.  Thanks.  I guess I was not looking at the order before sorting too
terribly closely.

Yeah, that's still including the programs that have been set to record
from the "pilots and premiers" power search rule.  I guess there needs
to be some kind of further filter to eliminate programs that will
actually record.  Is that a QUERY_GETALLSCHEDULED?  i.e. in
QUERY_GETALLPENDING but not in QUERY_GETALLSCHEDULED?

This seems to work:

------
import MythTV
sched_progs = []
for p in MythTV.MythBE().getScheduledRecordings():
    sched_progs.append(p.title)

for prog in MythTV.MythBE().getPendingRecordings():
     if prog.recordid == 521 and not prog.title in sched_progs:
         print u"{0.callsign:<8} {0.title:<40} {0.subtitle:<30}
{0.starttime}".format(prog) ------

Is that the right/best way to do that?  Do I need to "stash" the
list of program titles that are already scheduled to recorded or
is there a better way?

Ahhh.  But it's probably not "upcoming recordings" I want to
filter with but rather recording rules regardless of whether they
actually cause something to be scheduled or not (i.e. it might
not be showing in the next two weeks).  Not sure where that is
in these bindings.  Retrieving recording rules seems to always
be based on matching things that record as a result of them and
not just rules in general.

Cheers,
b.
