Re: AW: TV Server Plugin: TvWishList
For me, these sort of decisions depend on usage scenarios.
For programs that are on regularly, you can just set a normal schedule and you don't need this plugin.
For me, the usage of this is to get a notification of something that I really want to watch but I don't know if it is going to be on.
For me, I would happily remove the scheduling aspect from the plugin, and simply have the email notifications. Okay, so what if I am away when the program is going to be on? Well, scheduling is needed at that stage.
However, if I simply want to record a series when it is re-run, I will wait until TVWishList schedules/notifies me of the first episode, and then I can cancel the item from TVWishList and schedule it in the normal way.
So, I would prefer to keep things simple. Input the name, specify a partial or full match, and specify record once/every time, and then record with the default settings.
Perhaps each schedule needs an expert and standard mode?
To me, the easiest way to use this is through the MP plugin. However, if the method of setting through the MP plugin is cleaner and easier, why not use something similar in SetupTV.exe ?
I am not trying to be critical, I would just like to help make this as useful as possible (to everyone, not just to me).

I think that isn't a good idea. You can compare it with an advanced schedule, maybe "Record every time on this channel". There you can set a different post recording time for this schedule and then every show from this schedule will record with this post recording time and not with standard setting.
