I am so happy to have episode numbers in many of my EPG titles: ma 30-06-2014 09:00 00:30 DR K © Vis mig din tro (1:4) ti 01-07-2014 08:30 00:30 DR K © Vis mig din tro (1:4) ti 01-07-2014 09:00 00:30 DR K © Vis mig din tro (2:4) on 02-07-2014 08:30 00:30 DR K © Vis mig din tro (2:4) on 02-07-2014 09:00 00:30 DR K © Vis mig din tro (3:4) to 03-07-2014 08:30 00:30 DR K © Vis mig din tro (3:4) to 03-07-2014 09:00 00:30 DR K © Vis mig din tro (4:4) fr 04-07-2014 08:30 00:30 DR K © Vis mig din tro (4:4) This should be an ideal way to avoid multiple recordings of the same episode. If I use the web interface Search EPG with Name: Vis mig din tro Add to Auto-Record search, checked Check against Rec.Title, checked and then Tasks, execute AutoTimer, they are all 8 added as active timers. From a plain user point of view there is room for improvements here, and this is my request. The check against Timer name doesn't suffer from this. They all have the same event in this case. However sometimes I have different Events even if the episode number is the same, resulting in more than one active timer for the same episode. I would prefer to use the Check against Rec.Title. I first thought it was a bug, so I posted a bug report, see: http://www.DVBViewer.tv/forum/topic/54879-recording-service-search-epg/?p=410355 I now understand it is not a bug and the reason why...I think. I (and many others, I am sure) consider the EPG search a core funtionallity of the Recording Service, so it would be nice if this could be implemented. I have been looking into the wiki RS api ducumentation for creating a timer: I assume title in general is the string constructed from EPG title and the first 60 characters of the EPG event. I suggest to add 2 more parameters epgtitle and epgevent, maybe something like this The Timer object should ofcourse store the epgtitle and epgevent separatly. It should now be possible to make a newly created timer inactive if a timer already exists with the same title. Not case sensitive ofcourse. Well, I know it is probably not as simple as that and I cannot know if it is possible at all. At least I tried TIA

In my EPG I have the following titles DR K © 18:15 - 18:55 Teatertesten (1:3) DR K © 18:40 - 19:25 Teatertesten (2:3) DR K © 19:10 - 19:55 Teatertesten (3:3) onsdag, 25-06-2014 DR K © 08:25 - 09:10 Teatertesten (1:3) torsdag, 26-06-2014 DR K © 08:25 - 09:10 Teatertesten (2:3) fredag, 27-06-2014 DR K © 08:25 - 09:10 Teatertesten (3:3) If I use the web interface Search EPG with Name: Teatertesten Add to Auto-Record search, checked Check against Rec.Title, checked and then Tasks, execute AutoTimer, they are all 6 added as active timers. Isn't this a bug? The check against Timer name doesn't suffer from this. They all have the same event in this case. However sometimes I have different Events even if the episode number is the same, resulting in more than one active timer for the same episode. I would prefer to use the Check against Rec.Title. TIA
