Feature request: Add option to use series record from TVH instead of autorecord #229

Open Benoire opened 6 years ago

I posted this in the google communities page, but my TVH setup supports series recording via the TVH interface and I was hoping that you would be able to add an option in the settings to allow users to switch between series recording via the CRID in the stream or via the standard naming/episodic methods for the standard autorecord. I;'m not sure if TVH exposes the series recording option by CRID but if it does it would be fab to have this an option.

Hi Benoire,

at the moment we are limited to this #209 issue by sync upcoming recordings between server and clients and waiting for an solution from google, because we need to push automated planed recordings e.g. series recordings from server back to the clients.

Hi

It was more about the internal code used to send the record information to TVH; I was under the impression that this 'channel app' could set recordings but you wouldn't see future recordings based on that due to issue #209; if that is the case, wouldn't it be easy to then in the options to have the application change how it asks TVH to record and use series record instead?

The Mi Box 4K has yet to get Android 7 so I don't have PVR functionality so I'm speculating but I much prefer this with the Live Channels app over Kodi / SPMC anda hope this can work.

TVH 4.3 ( I believe) now supports exporting the api required to use series linking from outside of the TVH gui. Kodi with v18 allows you to set a series record as a default option when using 4.3. Appreciate that the limitations of live channels and the PVR api with android doesn't allow this option to occur, but is it possible to provide an option setting that allows you to chose between timer based recordings or series based recordings?
