This tab is used to create and maintain Digital Video Recorder rules. These can be EPG-driven (such as those created from the initial EPG tab) through the DVR AutoRec Entries tab , or can be timer-based through the Time Schedules tab.
This tab controls EPG-driven recording rules.
Buttons
Buttons have the following functions:
- Add
-
Add and configure a recording rule - define the channel, schedule, DVR configuration, priority, etc.
- Delete
-
Delete an existing recording rule.
- Edit
-
Manually edit an existing recording rule. This uses the same fields as Add, but they're pre-populated with their current values.
- Save
-
Saves any changes made to the recording rule list.
- Undo
-
Undoes any changes made to the recording rules list (any changed fields will be marked with a small red triangle).
Columns
The columns have the following functions:
- Enabled
-
Check or clear this box to enable or disable this rule.
- Name
-
The name you've given to the rule, e.g. 'Stuff involving Jeremy Clarkson'.
- Title (Regexp)
-
The title of the programme to look for. Note that this accepts case-insensitive regular expressions, so you can use pattern matching as Tvheadend scans the EPG for programmes to record.
- Channel
-
The channel on which this rule applies, i.e. the channel you're aiming to record.
- Channel Tag
-
A channel tag (e.g. a group of channels) on which this rule applies.
- Content Type
-
The content type (Movie/Drama, Sports...) to be used to filter matching events/programmes.
- Minimal Duration
-
The minimal duration of a matching event - in other words, only match programmes that are no shorter than this duration.
- Maximal Duration
-
The maximal duration of a matching event - in other words, only match programmes that are no longer than this duration.
- Week Days
-
On which specific days of the week to find matching programmes.
- Starting Around
-
An approximate starting time for matching programmes.
I'd need to check the code to see how this works to expand on this any further. It used to be:
Only record events if they are scheduled +-15 minutes from this given time.
- Priority
-
The priority of any recordings set because of this rule: important, high, normal, low, unimportant.
- DVR Configuration
-
The DVR configuration (e.g. extra start/stop time, post-processing rules) to be used for any recordings set because of this rule.
- Creator
-
The creator of the rule. Automatically set.
- Comment
-
A free-text comment. Not used otherwise.
