[QUOTE="wjw, post: 1239720, member: 79284"] [SIZE=4] [USER=141969]@CyberSimian[/USER] Please note that I am a user of TVWishlist - not the author! However, I am a happy user and am constantly surprised at the number of people with recording "issues" that have not researched and found this plugin. So, no, it does not use the broadcast datastream to get the info but it uses the EPG data instead. So yes, you are reliant on the EPG data - but I have never had a problem with this. These days I use Schedules Direct and this has comprehensive Series and Episode numbers (and titles, obviously) that can be scanned after the XMLTV plugin has inserted the data into the MP database. I have regularly set up the example you quote - indeed I am currently doing exactly what you cited as an example (except that currently it's Series 11) on that and quite lot of other series. It's actually more flexible with this approach since if the program/series you want changes channel it will catch that (this has recently happened to me and I don't think the datastream analysis approach does that). To paraphrase wildly - if it looks like a dog, barks and behaves like a dog then it might as well be a dog - even if it isn't! As I posted elsewhere I have also used it to enter a "Wish" years in advance in the hope that something will broadcast here in the UK - and it did! I can only suggest you take a look. [USER=162270]@groovybaby[/USER] I would also endorse CyberSimian's other post about not building now at the lowest cost to meet today's options and requirements. Do think about the future. If nothing else do consider whether you are going to get (it you haven't already) a 4K TV and source.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
