[QUOTE="huha, post: 843114, member: 63847"] Ben, useDescription is the user checkbox. If it is checked it will be used as a skipping criteria if the old and new schedule do match. Sleeping one more night I came up with the following proposal: For the MediaPortal plugin the following menue "Skip repeated Episodes" will be displayed: -Never -Automatic -Match Description / Ignore Description -Match Episode Part / Ignore Episode Part -Match Episode Name / Ignore Episode Name -Match Episode Numbers / Ignore Episode Numbers The Tvserver plugin will keep the dropdown box with the following options: -Automatic -Description -Description+Episodename -Description+Episodename+Episode Numbers -Description+Episodename+Episode Part -Description+Episodename+Episode Part+Episode Numbers -Episodename -Episodename+Episode Numbers -Episodename+Episode Part -Episodename+Episode Part+Episode Numbers -Episode Numbers The checkbox skip repeated episodes (corresponding to Never in the MP plugin) remains The algorithm for skipping an episode will then be (assuming that skip_repeating _episodes is true): if (useAutomatic) //automatic modus { if (newDescription == oldDescription) { // Log.Debug("Description true"); if (newEpisodePart == oldEpisodePart) { //Log.Debug("EpisodePart true"); if (newEpisodeName == oldEpisodeName) { //Log.Debug("EpisodeName true"); if (newSeriesNumber == oldSeriesNumber) { //Log.Debug("SeriesNumber true"); if (newEpisodeNumber == oldEpisodeNumber) { //Log.Debug("EpisodeNumber true"); //Log.Debug(" ==> EpisodeManagement = true"); return true; }//EpisodeNumber }//SeriesNumber }//EpisodeName }//EpisodePart }//Description //Log.Debug("episodeManagement = false"); } else //manual selection of criteria { if ((newDescription == oldDescription) && (newDescription != string.Empty) || (!useDescription)) { // Log.Debug("Description true"); if ((newEpisodePart == oldEpisodePart) && (newEpisodePart != string.Empty) || (!usePart)) { //Log.Debug("EpisodePart true"); if ((newEpisodeName == oldEpisodeName) && (newEpisodeName != string.Empty) || (!useName)) { //Log.Debug("EpisodeName true"); if ((newSeriesNumber == oldSeriesNumber) && (newSeriesNumber != string.Empty) || (!useNumbers)) { //Log.Debug("SeriesNumber true"); if ((newEpisodeNumber == oldEpisodeNumber) && (newEpisodeNumber != string.Empty) || (!useNumbers)) { //Log.Debug("EpisodeNumber true"); //Log.Debug(" ==> EpisodeManagement = true"); return true; }//EpisodeNumber }//SeriesNumber }//EpisodeName }//EpisodePart }//Description //Log.Debug("episodeManagement = false"); }//end Automatic This would allow for standard users to enable an automatic algorithm (default), which probably will be fine for 80% of the users without making any difficult selections or a need for detailed understanding of their EPG data.
