I would like this option also and iirc there's actually a flag that specifies a new episode. I know at least some providers supply an "original air date" as well which could be compared against the current date if the "new" flag isn't present. It would be nice to set a timer for a show, tell it you want _all_ new episodes, and it's smart enough to detect schedule changes and so on. So basically you could record an entire series (over all seasons) if you wanted to and only need to set a timer once and forget about it. It sucks to find out there's been a schedule only after you've missed some episodes, or have to frequently clean out a cache of dupes. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
