Favorite sports team handling

[scanner50 8]

Been really wanting to ditch Xfinity DVR equipment for an Emby setup. One question mark for me is how does Emby handle recording sports? Can I set up a list of favorite teams and it will record any new game that they play? 

 

Short of that, are there any sports fans here that have come up with a way to make sure all your teams games get recorded?

Hi, no, we don't have that feature but i think it's a great idea for the future, thanks.

Thanks Luke, would it be ok to post this in the Feature Request area to give it more visibility?

I'll move it, thanks.

Great, thank you. For what it's worth, this is a feature that SiliconDust is touting with their DVR software. So it seems at least in theory that this is workable.

I just noticed inzombyac's post over at the thread Emby and NFL Football talking about "exposing the name of the teams (secondary program title) in the search results". Seems like that would be a good first start to making this happen.

I used Emby all year to record NFL games.  I had no problems at all managing this as you typically only get 4 to 6 games each week.  You will almost always get your home game plus the other high market games.  Pretty much the same for NHL, NBA and Baseball.

 

I typically record all games I can get and not just my favorite teams so maybe I'm not a good one person to comment.

 

But at worst case you can view the schedule once a week and add any games you want.

It's something we should add in the future for sure.
