[QUOTE="revs, post: 734419, member: 42810"] I have always wondered how the advanced record options work. i.e. 'Every Week at the time' How does it match the program? is it simple, and just based on start/stop time? or does it try and match the program name? Similarly with 'Every time on this channel' - assume this is done on the program name? Lets say I want to record Dr Who every week at Saturday 7pm - which one would I use? I'd guess 'Every Week at the time', but what happens when the season ends? does it then just record whatever replaces Dr Who at 7pm Saturday? A few other options in the menu - again, no real explanation of the logic behind them. Would love to know (and put it in the Wiki!) --------- OK so I decided to trawl through the code and I think this is how they 'match' programs -------------- 'Record Once' - Matches based on program exact Title, Start Time, End Time, Channel 'Record Every Time On This Channel' - Matches on exact Title, exact channel id 'Record Every Time on Every Channel' - Matches on exact Title 'Record Every Week at this time' - Matches on channel id, start and end time, 'Record Every Day at this time' - Matches on channel id, start and end time 'Record Mon-Fri' = Matches channel id, start and end time, and it being between monday-friday OK - added to Wiki - [url=http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/14_Using_MediaPortal/3_TV/3_Record_TV/1_Scheduling_Recordings]Schedule Recordings - MediaPortal Wiki[/url] [/QUOTE]
