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.
