Feature request: Ability to set auto-timers / series timer #11

It would be good to be able to set an auto-recorder / series timer from TVHGuide. I note HTS TVHeadend web interface provides this by setting a timer on the same channel on every day with the same title. This would be an acceptable initial implementation. An enhancement would be to allow the selection of which days (via 7 check boxes) the timer applies to. Auto recorder could be accessed from context menu, press and hold an EPG entry and select, "Auto Recorder". There should also be a view that shows all auto-recorder timers.

TVHGuide uses the HTSP protocol (v4 atm). The auto recording configuration is not exposed via HTSP and can only be configured via the webif. If the HTSP protocol is updated to allow these kinds of operations, I'll see what I can do. Keep in mind thought that it am extremely busy with other things so it will probably take a while.
