Sounds like the functionality that is built in to myth TV. Are you seriously saying that you need an external script to do duplicate detection in tvh?

Tvheadend has built in duplicate detection for recordings, but maybe there is something missing/broken the script adds/fixes? In case I would be interested what this is.

Hi,
The scripts detects duplicate past recordings based on the key: (title, description).
Since the recording does not always happen (if more than 5 channels are to be recorded), I prefer to keep them in the list until they have been recorded.
Also, since the deletion is performed starting with the oldest programs, it allows to keep these shows longer.
This is especially useful for daily shows (whose description is always the same): I only want to keep the last show, and not many of them.
I know that TvHeadend has a built-in duplicate detection feature, but I am not sure how it works and whether it could do that. Also, I add these duplicate recordings using the API (and not the TvHeadend auto-record feature), I do not know if it would delete them in this case.

Ok, I will test that now. Thank you :-)
I still need my script in order to add the new recordings based on their rating.

Hi,
I do not think that Autorecs allow to record program based on their rating ("stars" column), so I do that manually.
Thanks
