[QUOTE="elliottmc, post: 779579, member: 14268"] Hi, I have tried this plugin, and it works well. I guess there are always going to be some negatives, so here they are in the interest of being constructive. The configuration does not really fit within the SetupTV.exe window. It feels wrong to need to scroll so far. There is a choice for scheduling episodes vs movies. I guess whether something is flagged as an episode or a movie depends on how your EPG info is presented, so I am worried that if I select one rather than the other I will miss something I want. To me, it feels like the hard work has been done, but maybe a bit more time needs to be spent on simplification/usability. I would imagine that the most common usage of this is to schedule a recording of a program with a specific word in the title or description. For me, rather than having a large table, it would be better to have a 'New item' button, which opens an editing window. Then you could enter the keywords and choose 'any word' or 'all words'. You could choose 'record first found' or 'record every' (on channel). I guess there are probably more filters to apply, but for my money, less can be more. I don't want to have to make a lot of decisions, but I want to select a couple of keywords for a program and know that I will be notified the next time this is on.
