Why does Autotimers not respect the defaults?

[psykix]

I have my autotimer defaults set to partial match, but when I go to add a new autotimer, the setting is exact match.

Can someone post screenshots of their autotimer settings? Not sure if I am missing something simple here!

You appear to be correct. The partial match default setting is overridden

I have my defaults set for partial match but when pressing 'Add Auto Timer' from the (grid) EPG the first screen that appears is shown in the first screen-shot on

The second box is pre-ticked ignoring the default settings for a partial match. If the box is not then de-selected the exact match option is transferred through to the second screen.

DJBlu wrote a plugin for Mediaportal that does a proper series link in the same way that it would on a Sky box or a Freeview box (it grabs the series ID from the stream I think).

His modifications also pulled EPG data and bouquet data - they are both covered by CrossEPG and ABM. Wonder why the proper series link hasn't?

I'm trying to get the source code but not sure if it is something that the Vix team would be interested in?

I think you might find the source here....

There's even a reference to freeview series link in the plan of action.

I'm not sure if that was ever the final source code though. It changed a lot over time.

Not being a coder, I wouldn't be able to check!
