I have added some favorites (keywords) and configured them to be autorecorded. That works great! I know that I can also can use settings > plugins > favorite programs > global exclusion criteria . But request some quicker way to add exclusion criteria.
Example: I set of a keyword favorite for the director "X". The film Y by X airs monday with reruns on wednesday and thursday. I want TV-browser to first schedule a recording of all three, just to be on the safe side. That works fine today. But when I have made the first successful recording (and manually checked that it is error freee) then I'd like to as simple as possible (1) cancel any remaining scheduled recordings and (2) create exclusion criteria that prevent Y from being recording again when it airs maybe two months later.
(1) & (2) currently takes a lot of manual steps. I'd like to instead send TV-Browser a single command line argument (with the director AND film title to exclude as parameter). TV-Browser would then start in the background (unless it was already running), do (1) & (2), then close (unless it was already running).
Alternatively, TV-Browser could on startup read some blocklist file. Example: "TV-Browser_exclude.txt" could contain a row separated list of things to exclude. On each startup TV-Browser imports that list as exclusion criteria to use for that session all new program data AND for each added/changed item on the list, goes through step (1) & (2).
What do you think? Too complex request for such a narrow feature? Maybe, but worth mentioning I thought.
