I’m setting up DVR Advanced Passes as “Wish Lists” (Great feature by the way!) for shows that don’t appear in the EPG because they’re on hiatus, or have ended and I’m waiting for certain episodes I missed recording to re-run so I can record them.
I’ve been able to stumble into using Advances Passes by experimentation, but it would be nice to have help for the advanced pass options with examples (hint, hint), like a WiKi or tutorial.
My problem is if I set an advanced pass using a generic enough title to match/catch any possible future airings, I end up having to manually skip certain titles I really don’t want. A small PITA, but better than missing what I intended to record.
Just one example of many is “Survivorman” (Les Stroud).
I would like to record episodes I missed recording previously, except for the Title “Survivorman: Bigfoot” that I don’t want.
If use ‘Title EQUALS Survivorman’, all I get is “Survivorman” (this appears to be case sensitive)
SO,
I’m using ‘Title CONTAINS Survivorman’ (this appears to be case sensitive)
But, how do I exclude “Survivorman: Bigfoot” ???
If I could use ‘Title CONTAINS Survivorman’ AND ‘Title !CONTAINS Bigfoot’ that should work.
There are the following titles as far as I know (are there more???);
“Beyond Survival with Les Stroud” <- covered with another advanced pass
“Survivorman”
“Survivorman: Beyond Survival”
“Survivorman: Bigfoot” <- don’t want
“Survivorman: Lost Pilots”
“Survivorman: Ten Days”
“Survivorman & Son”
“Survivorman’s Secrets of Survival”
“Survivorman’s Survival Secrets”
Just one of many examples where DOES NOT EQUAL/CONTAIN would be useful in the advanced rule.
