Description

Thank you very much for an excellent peace of software. I am missing a choice in the Autorec session though. How about a "Record once pr month" interval. Thanks in advance.

Additional note for perexg..

The Add dialog for an upcoming recording uses a date picker and time whereas the Timers dialog only allows you to pick the time. This could be merged simply by adding a date picker to the Timers add dialog. If set, this then indicates that it's a one-time only recording. If not, the "Days of Week" value applies instead.

Hi Mark,

I'm sorry for not making myself very clear. And I think you misunderstood what I meant by "Once pr. month".

An example.

I choose some kind of TV show in EPG overview that I want to follow. I know that there's a new episode coming up every week. So I choose the Autorec option. Further more I know that there is a lot of re-runs during the week (Before a new episode will air) AND TVH will record every single time the TV show airs. So I then find my Autorec entry, hit edit and choose Record once pr. week in the Duplicate handling option (See attached picture). Problem solved. I'll only get one (new) episode pr. week.

Some shows will air with new episodes once pr. month. That is why I suggest the option "ONCE PR. MONTH" in the duplicate option (in Autorec entries).
I'm getting what you say about the Timers section. But this option would be nice to have in Autorec section.

Best regards &
Have a nice day

I understand what you're saying, it was just a small note to perexg on something that I'd noticed, while looking into it.
