Some features I'd never have imagined - can't wait

One thing that's been mentioned once or twice - when setting a manual timer - would it be possible to check for a title match in the next but one program (and, I suppose, the prior but one program) on the same channel? This is to catch both parts of a 2-part program that's had the news conveniently ( ) slapped in the middle.

Any chance of this in a future update please.

Does it always go to the wrong screen once it has started to go wrong, ie on every timer activation? Does a reboot sort it out? Is it possible that you have set the timer key to be the same as the archive key?

2) It might be handy to have folders with new recordings within, say, the past 24 hours (configurable?) marked in some way. Maybe a green dot or change the colour of the file counter. A lot of my recordings are auto-filed now and it is not always obvious from a quick glance when a new episode has been recorded.

I know this has been mentioned before, but i keep loosing the second half of films when they break in the middle for the news on ITV1 because I forget to check.

Could mystuff be made to scan ahead when setting a timer to see if the same program name exists after the "News"?

Dear Bob and Team,

2) One of the things I liked about Jags was the ability to test a programme search once set up - Jags will actually search throughout the entire stored programme data buffer and produce all matches, not just in the next 26 hours. I think it would be great to be able to do this in Mystuff - and in fact, to be able to look at all proposed CTs over the next week so as to be able to resolve potential clashes when you set the CT, rather than having to review on a daily basis. I guess you could simulate this by setting the period to look ahead to 7 days, but this would be unnecessary for most routine searches and I assume quite costly in terms of processor time.

Thank you for continuing to develop a great TAP,

Colin

I have 70 CTs set to search 7 days ahead and usuall have about 120 timers set

I have not needed it before because i've never had so many timers but am I right in my understanding that the 1st 70 are set and the other ~50 are excess timers which only get set as real timers as the real timers get recorded and dissapear?

What happens if you then set a recording manually in something other than MyStuff? - will it refuse to set it because all 70 timer slots are full or will it set it and MyStuff will budge one of it's timers to been an excess timer?

Thanks

Ian

It sounds to me like we want MyStuff to only set around 50 or 60 actual timers so that there's always some space for other TAPs (or the native Toppy) to set some timers.
