The Advanced Pass features are really useful. I would like to be able to record a show only on specific days of the week. For example, I only want to watch KPRC News at 5:00 only on Sunday. An additional condition called Days could limit recording to a specific day of the week, weekdays, or weekends. I don't have a need for more selection options than those, but perhaps others would want more to be able to specify more complex criteria, such as MWF.
I love Channels!!! Can't imagine streaming without it.
You can accomplish that now using TIME CONTAINS
TIME CONTAINS Sunday 5pm
You can also use multiple TIME CONTAINS which will be OR'd together
TIME CONTAINS Monday 5pm
TIME CONTAINS Wednesday 5pm
TIME CONTAINS Friday 5pm

Thanks chDVRuser! I never considered that TIME includes days of the week. Time CONTAINS Sunday works just fine. I had also wondered about logical operators, but it's not clear to me how those work for the various conditions. For example, the logical operator after SeriesID would appear to be AND, but after Tags or other filters would it always be OR? I suppose someone could set up a pass for all of the CSI shows with the condition Title CONTAINS CSI if he wanted fill up his server with all of those!
Multiple CONTAINS are ORd together
Multiple EXCLUDES are ANDd together
Take a look at the section of this forum for Advanced Passes
Thanks all. I'll make future posts on the subject to Playground.
