Subscriptions Don't Seem to Update Correctly #20

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add a subscription by clicking on a show and choosing "subscribe"
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should fill the download queue with any episodes of that show that have not 
already been 
downloaded, but most of the time it does nothing.  I have left it running for 
hours and they never 
seem to update.  A couple of times upon start up the download queue has added 
shows that 
were in the subscription list, but it is rare.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.3 OS X 10.5.5

Please provide any additional information below.

Your expectation is not what 'subscribe' does.  Subscribe marks a show so that 
when
new episodes of it appear, they are added to the download queue.

So, just need to make sure whether this is subscriptions being broken:

  When you mark a show as subscribed, it initially downloads nothing.  If a NEW
episode of that show appears, it will be added to the queue.  If it is added, 
but
then you quit before downloading it,  it will *NOT* be added again.

  subscriptions add only once, and only newly appearing episodes.  The intent is for
people who leave the program running regularly, and want their favorite shows
downloaded when new episodes show up.

  Old episodes are not added (irrelevant if they've been downloaded before or not). 
And a cancelled download is not re-added (assuming that you didn't want it).  
If you
want it, you can still choose it yourself.

 If you want to download ALL episodes of "CSI" on your tivo, the easiest way is to
click the small word "Show" above the show names.  This will sort all shows by 
name.
 Then click on the first CSI, and shift-click on the last CSI.  Then click "Add Shows
to Queue"..  and voila.
