[mythtv-users] better scheduling options through MythWeb?

[James Miller]

Now that my new MythTV (0.27.20140303-1, Gentoo) is operational in all 
required respects, I'm re-implementing recording rules. I note to begin 
with that the scheduling options through the frontend are far more limited 
than they have been on past MythTV installations I've used. For example, I 
see no such choice as "record one showing of this title every day." A fair 
amount of trawling through the frontend has not revealed anything close to 
the range of options I used to see when I would schedule recordings that 
way.

As I continue to investigate, I'm finding that the widest range of options 
for scheduling recordings seems to be available through MythWeb. I do not 
see there the sorts of options I used to use through the frontend, but 
there are a number of alternate options that can allow me to approximate 
the sorts of rules I used to use most frequently. So, I've begun 
scheduling most recordings using MythWeb.

I'd like to ask in closing whether others on this list find scheduling 
recordings through MythWeb to be more versatile and usable than scheduling 
them through the frontend? Of course I may have overlooked some frontend 
setting or perhaps even have misconfigured something on this system. But 
my tentative conclusion to date is that I'll be needing to schedule most 
recordings on this system via MythWeb rather than through the frontend. 
Thanks.
