Filtering out Program Names #288

Open AtomicLaser opened 3 years ago

Not an issue as such, so apologies if this is in the wrong place!

Using the PVR Manager, I have for example "Emmerdale" in the list of automatic downloads, however ITV has started putting a program called "Classic Emmerdale" which is being added to the queue as it matches the "Emmerdale" title.

The same applies with "Coronation Street" as there are also showings of "Classic Coronation Street" as well.

Is there a way to filter out these results at all?

Enhancement requests are always welcome! I may not get to all them, and people are more than welcome to contribute code if they are so motivated.

I'd have to look more closely at the Auto-recording code. I haven't really touched it since I inherited the project. My guess is that it just searches for the string in the title, and doesn't have provisions for anything more complex than that. Ideally, yo could have something like the macOS Finder's filtering feature, where you can have "title contains 'Emmerdale' and title does not contain 'Classic'"

You can already filter out programmes starting with Classic by using the REGEX "starts with" symbol ^ i.e. ^Emmerdale will filter out the Classic Emmerdale programmes.

I would like this too but it's no great inconvenience to keep permanently manually deleting Classic Corrie eps I guess - Click long and short editions needs the same banish treatment for the short one too.

Whilst this DOES work if manually searching for programs, it does not work when used in the PVR manager in the Series Link section.
