| [00:00:56] | Sabotender: | Thank you so much for this. I think I should install MythWeb, for that 'one click' record series, But it is very convenient to schedule just one showing using the front end. Very convenient. |
| [00:04:25] | Sabotender: | I am so Scaryface to install MythWeb, because of it breaking things. I just got this together, with your help. lol |
| [00:08:57] | Sabotender: | recordings are perfect when scheduled correctly. I just tested playing one that I had scheduled a single recording earlier today, instead of trying to do the series thing. |
| [00:15:31] | mack: | mythweb is supposedly not getting any more updates. |
| [00:18:01] | mack: | Unless you're specifying a recurring recording by only channel and time, if you're using EIT for listings, it's probably not going to show more than one entry for a weekly show. It will show up in the Recordings queue when the data pop in. |
| [00:19:49] | mack: | I honestly don't think it's worth installing apache and php for mythweb these days. |

| [01:38:42] | Sabotender: | Heh, indeed about apache and php on localhost, or any intranet. But, that is exactly what I want. |
| [01:38:42] | Sabotender: | To record new episodes as they appear in EIT, would be acceptable. |
| [01:40:43] | Sabotender: | However I really do find it appealing how it compares the episodes by title, that had been put in queue, to prevent recording duplicates. |
| [02:21:44] | mack: | it compares titles, subtitles, and episode descriptions, if I recall correctly. Of course that won't happen if your listings data are bad. |
| [02:22:05] | mack: | OH. you said appealing. |
| [02:22:13] | mack: | I read appalling. |
| [02:25:05] | mack: | but yeah, I've managed entire series recordings of old shows in syndication automatically, without duplication. Then after many months of no recordings for that show, that one episode they always hold until Christmas suddenly gets recorded when it airs. |

| [15:08:41] | Sabotender: | Wow, I hope I can make it work, without causing the tuners and/or recorder two go haywire. Hmm. I need to find instructions to correctly schedule the series recording using MythTV backend config |
| [15:51:27] | mack: | scheduling is done in the frontend |
| [16:06:36] | Sabotender: | I had been perusing this earlier this morning. I cannot seem to find clear instructions to schedule a recurring recording. The options provided do not seem to be very descriptive. 'this one' and 'one' are very very similar. |

| [19:09:44] | mack: | Sabotender: It's here in the documentation. This section; there is a table below the image. https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Manage_Recordings . . . e_Recordings |
| [19:11:28] | Sabotender: | Hmm. I remember seeing a table, Danke, I will check that link. |
| [19:18:54] | Sabotender: | So... I should just schedule one title, for 'Record all showings' once, so it Will record any episode, at any time, that matches that title. if so, that may have been why there was a scheduling conflict, and nothing had been recorded. |
| [19:20:17] | Sabotender: | ooh, and I will tick the box for override |
| [19:29:26] | Sabotender: | mack: that Wiki that's not match what is in there back in guide for scheduling. Theres a difference between meaning of, Record one showing, this episode' in the Wiki, and 'Record only this showing', and 'Record only one showing' on the backend scheduling guide |
| [19:31:50] | Sabotender: | The text just isn't identical. Imho, I think, perhaps, someone needs to fix the wiki |
| [19:32:43] | Sabotender: | fix/update |
| [19:34:07] | Sabotender: | I don't want you to think I haven't been reading the wiki. 😅 |
| [19:35:52] | mack: | Since you're talking about recording a series, maybe Recording Rules will be easier |
| [19:43:14] | mack: | Also, are you using the Mythfrontend or are you using the web application served by the backen |
| [19:50:04] | Sabotender: | Ah, I am using the Web app sserved by the backend |
| [20:56:33] | Sabotender: | I hope thats okay. I just find theUI easier to use |
| [20:57:36] | Sabotender: | Would be brilliant if there were an iphone app for it 😛 |

| [21:39:58] | mack: | yes, the frontend does take some getting used to. I really only use the frontend for commercial marking and firing off transcode jobs. I use the kodi pvr.mythtv plug for playback. |
| [22:20:59] | Sabotender: | ! |
| [22:24:42] | Sabotender: | mack: Please, tell me more... Is it possible to watch these episodes in a media player, such as VLC? I would much prefer to watch episodes in something like that. It is a bit embarrassing, but, MPCHC had ruined me after all these years. 😊 |
| [22:29:28] | mack: | Probably not as seemlessly as you would like |
| [22:30:39] | mack: | Give the frontend a trial run for a while. You'll find it's not bad. |
| [22:32:26] | Sabotender: | Well, using the front end would mean that I would need to learn new keyboard shortcuts for the remote actions. I know, I'm being lazy. I'm just ready to leap right in, lol |
| [22:33:12] | Sabotender: | I will get the shortcut menu |
| [22:35:39] | mack: | keybinding are all configurable. If you have a remote and IR receiver you can use that, too. |
| [22:37:15] | Sabotender: | the homerun had put me past astonishment. The quality is so good, and clear, with this aerial that I got is powered signal boosting, not sure if I need to put a bigger one outside, and attach it to my home coaxial network. |
| [22:38:34] | Sabotender: | hmm see now you are encouraging me to get an IR remote and receiver, and I probably will! |
| [22:38:52] | ** Sabotender dashes off to Amazon ** | |
| [22:39:22] | mack: | haha |
| [22:39:47] | mack: | but keyboard navigation can mostly be done with the arrow keys, Enter, and M for the menu. |
