Completed Live TV - Allow custom recording by keyword

[eriberg 7]

Hello,

 

I would really like to be able to record all programs with the keyword golf in the title (for example).  

 

Thanks,

Erik

Hi, yes this is planned for a future update, thanks !

Please expand this to search in other fields like, "Show Name", "Network(s)", "Channel(s)", "Actor(s)", "Season(s)", as well as "Title".

Yes, having recently retired WMC for an entirely Emby experience, I would greatly appreciate seeing the ability to set up recording series based upon Keywords. 

Particularly needed for sporting events.  I.e. a keyword recording series for "NFL Football Seattle" routinely and almost 100% reliably recorded Seattle Seahawk football games under WMC.  These are much tougher to (remember to) schedule manually, and I don't want to record all of the NFL Football as a Series recording.  I used similar routines for MLS Soccer and Formula 1 races...  This particular request has been kicking around longer than this 2017 Feature Request post suggests..

@Luke Any chance this can be added to the current beta? My Plex has stopped working so I'm in the process of moving my recordings to Emby, but this feature is sadly missing.

It's planned for future updates. Thanks for the feedback.

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

That's awesome, thanks Luke!

@Luke The next build is out 4.8.0.5, but I can't figure out how to create a keyword-based recording. How do we use this feature?

What did you try?

I went to Programs and Guide and didn't see anything. I just went to recordings too and it wasn't there either UNTIL I flipped my phone to landscape mode. Can you add a + on the left in portrait mode in mobile? All the other functions are represented except for Create Recording.

[MBSki 1104]

Ok, I set one up for Today as the title keyword and set it to once instead of recurring. It instead created as recurring and it's not showing up in Series so I can't cancel it. 

Is there a manual way to cancel it?

[MBSki 1104]

Actually, where are these recurring keyword "series"? I don't see where to edit any of the ones Ive created.

[MBSki 1104]

@ebr @Luke How do we edit the created keyword recordings? I don't see them anywhere.

[Luke 40082]

It's coming.

A couple of questions.

Is the keyword recording for the current listings, or does it check everytime the listings are updated?

If its the latter, can I set up a keyword recording by show name for something that may not air for a couple of months?

That's your choice depending on how you set it up.

The 4.8 release will have the WMC-like preview I've been wanting to add, so that when you setup the recording you can get an idea of what items will match your keyword:
