[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1239694, member: 141969"] I have never used "TvWishList", so I am curious as to the capabilities that it offers. In the UK, the broadcast EPG contains series ids and episode ids. These are contained in the datastream and cannot be viewed by end users using MP. They are provided by the broadcasters to make it easier for DVRs to record complete series. My Humax DVR can use these ids, so it would be possible (for instance) to specify that I wanted all episodes of series 3 of "The Big Bang Theory", and it would indeed record all of those episodes, but no episodes from any of the other 10 series of "The Big Bang Theory". TV Server 3.0 does not use these series and episode ids, and so cannot support true series recording. Are you saying that "TvWishList" [i]does[/i] look at these series and episode ids, and as a result I could set it to record only series 3 of "The Big Bang Theory"? If "TvWishList" attempts to analyse the textual programme description to extract the series and episode numbers that [i]some[/i] series have, that is not universally applicable (since many series do not contain this information in the programme description). If all that "TvWishList" does is allow you to specify that you want to record a series that is not currently being broadcast, that [i]is[/i] a useful capability, but it is not true series recording. What TV Server supports is various flavours of [i]repeated recording[/i]. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
