Feature Request: Keyword Wishlist Recording

If this is available now please point me to it!

 

It would be great if we could get keyword or wishlist recording.

 

Something similar to what is in WMC. I use it quite frequently in WMC when I am scheduling things to record. If WMC doesn't find a particular series or movie I will then choose "wishlist or keyword" and then choose from Actor Name, Director Name, Movie Title, Program Title or Generic Keyword. I can then choose from several options including channel, new/repeat etc.

 

Very handy for when I see or hear about future series or specials I can set it up and WMC will record it when it shows up.

 

I don't know if this is possible and/or planned for Emby but it would be huge.

 

Thanks for reading and considering!

+1 here. This would be incredibly helpful for irregularly broadcast content such as movies and TV Shows

+1 to this request, I figure this is an item that will inevitably be added to make the DVR more full featured.

So I suppose my question would be, any chance this is a request that could be added soonish (< year or more away)?

 

I also believe at this time the guide is only searched by program name, and no synopsis/detail screen.

Therefore making a search for an NFL football team return no results (such as me searching for "Chicago Bears" would return zero results as the program title is NFL Football).

 

I'd assume that function (search returning results from synopsis/detail screen) would be needed prior to keyword/wishlist recording being possible, so maybe this request is already planned following that addition.

Keyword-based recordings will be landing in the server beta channel in the next build. Thanks.

🤯 superb, and a like isn't enough to express my excitement for this!

One thing to mention as this is being implemented, a primary use case for me is to record NFL games for a specific team. When previously using the HDHR record engine this could simply be done by setting a series recording as I believe the guide data correctly reflected the team in the title and not just "NFL Football" as I recall was the case last season with Emby guide date. I just want to mention that as I thought it made sense by default for that functionality (and to not record ALL NFL games), and HDHR at the time didn't have any keyword or wishlist recording abilities (no idea at this point. haven't used it in over a year). Waiting anxiously.  B)

@Lukeit would be better to allow keywords for title, subtitle and overview at the same time instead of limiting it to one field! Also currently there's no way to edit the keywords of those keyword based series recordings.

3 different recordings? one in the title, subtitle and overview? 
delete and recreate the recording to edit it?

Being dumb here, but where can I find this?

Live TV > Recordings (across the top) > add recording > keyword

Option not on chrome on an android phone, that will explain why I couldn't find it.

Will check my laptop when I get home

Solved it. If I tell android chrome to view as desktop, then the option appears, it just doesn't appear in the mobile page yet

Of course not. One series schedule but the search has to match title, subtitle and overview in any combination if they are filled with keywords.

I know that works, but this is not user friendly. The keyword based recording does create a series schedule where we can edit every aspect but not the keyword itself. That doesn't make sense from a user perspective.

I agree, there should be a way to edit or delete the keyword recording.

I personally would have preferred it show a list of what it has found, and then the user can select what to record, but it's a start, and I'm sure further upgrades/improves can be made if there is demand for them

It's only the beginning. Yes you'll be able to edit the existing keyword series, and I did some homework with WMC and I like the way it shows you a preview of what programs match the criteria when you're setting it up, so I'd like to add that as well.

And yes of course matching on more fields than just what is currently there.

thats not really the point of a keyword recording as i understand it. for that you could just search on your keyword and schedule any programs found.

keyword recording is designed to automatically record all future shows that match the criteria. prime example - i want to record all the games in which my team features across all channels. i don't want to have to set them up each week

It's definitely something that could be backported into 4.7. It just needs more testing first and user feedback. So if you can help with that on the beta channel, then it increase our confidence level about putting it in a 4.7.X release.

ok. as far as i can see this seems to be valid

but after clicking on create recording twice now and waiting 15+ mins the above still shows. not sure what i am doing wrong?

also as a future feature request - could i suggest having AND, OR and NOT options too. perhaps its already possible but not clear...

Can you please also change "Don't record episodes that are already in my library" to something more generic like videos or items, so that it also takes movies into account?

Limited testing here. It seems to work well. I am pretty excited by this feature! 

Thanks to the dev team!
