Text matching recording triggers - true911 - 2024-11-05
I would like to see a basic, text-matching trigger for recording TV based on user input. This was a core staple of the old MS media player and worked very well. All of the modern DVR software seems to have thrown this by the wayside and only relies on guide-posted items to trigger recordings.
One minor characteristic I've seen in P**x is that when I choose to record NFL football, I only want to watch Ravens games, and it asks me about that. It seems that Jellyfin will only allow me to record one or all NFL games, regardless of team content. My suggestion for text-matching would both solve that difference without needing to add yet another feature for the teams, but also give flexibility to match a lot of special content, such as upcoming new-season shows that aren't in the guide yet, or special events that may only occur quarterly or annually, and may have naming deviations (like Indy 500).
Thanks for considering my request.
