airing filter / switching from XMLTV to Schedules Direct

[wubdich]

Schedules Direct EPG (sdepg) plugin for SageTV 7 documentation is mentioning programm and airing filters. Are these still available in the version integrated in SageTV v9 ?

If yes - is it possible to use a program or airing filter to mark an airing as watched if an airing with same show title and episode title (but different showid) is marked as watched in wiz.bin ?

Explanation: This feature would ease my transition from XMLTV to Schedules Direct a lot by preventing doubled recordings (note: showids generated by XMLTV Importer for SageTV differs from showids in schedules-direct - thats at least my current knowledge)

Unfortunately filters are not available. If the XMLTV data you were seeing was actually from the same source as Schedules Direct, you might not have any issue with duplicates anyway. If that's the case, then all I would recommend doing is disabling the SageTV compatibility option since the data you got was likely not partly truncated.

Unfortunatly that's quite unlikely because XMLTV Importer for SageTV is calculating showid by its own - in my case by hashing the episode title and episode number .
