Channels DVR Server Feature Requests
#21

This is already available. Navigate to DVR > Passes > :gear: > :heavy_plus_sign: New Advanced Pass in the DVR web UI. Then under the Conditions, you can add match rules for Categories, Genres, Cast, and myriad other metadata.

If I remember correctly, Advanced Passes have been around from the DVR’s beginning.

EDIT: Advanced passes were always available, but some new metadata to use as conditions were added 18 months ago.

Yes, yes! It is there. It is a little tricky to use which is why I couldn't get it to work initially. After typing in the name you have to hit enter to save it. Sooo happy. Thanks for pointing this out!

If I'm not mistaken, when you use more than one condition, they must all be true at the same time (i.e. the DVR uses the "AND" operator between them).

For example:

judge_judy_title

judge_judy_summary

judge_judy_combined

So I think the OP has a valid point. I actually found this thread after doing a search because I was going to request this feature too.
I wish there was an option to choose "OR" between conditions.

Just added my vote for this feature. :slight_smile:

Wildcards would be helpful in creating advanced passes.
