Feature Request - Schedule Comm Skip Processing / Series Pass (No Redundant Episodes)

Channels DVR Server Feature Requests
#1

Two feature requests.

It would be nice to push all the Commercial Skip processing to later at night, say between the hours of 2AM to 6AM when no one is watching TV. This would allow for quick processing of commercials without taxing the DVR Server during normal hours. This might benefit lower spec DVRs.

Adding the ability when you set up a Pass to record more than just New Episodes and All Episodes. I'm trying to DVR all Seinfelds, Office, Friends and obviously these shows don't have "New Episodes". If I set it up for All Episodes I run the risk of DVRing the same episode. A setting somewhere in the middle would be helpful for series without new episodes.

By default, Channels will not re-record a program it has already recorded. So a pass set to record "All episodes" will only record a single copy of each episode. (And if you delete an episode, it will not re-record that episode again, unless you specifically tell it to.)

That's great! I figured it would just record every episode that aired.

Thanks for clarifying.
