Adding TV shows to be recorded from my OTA tuner?

[BigBillSD]

I am testing out Plex with the plex pass for recording from my HDhomerun tuners. It works fine for shows already in the guide but so far I haven’t seen a way to record future shows that aren’t in the guide yet. In my current system (sagetv) I just go into favorites and add an item by Keyword, and select all Fields or Title Only. I am guessing maybe it requires a command line, which is fine but I haven’t found something like that. Often we see an advertisement for a new show coming sometime in the future and with SageTV I just go add it via the keyword (usually in the Title) and it records once it shows up in the guide. I then usually delete the keyword entry and replace it from the guide. I’m sure this must be available as who can remember to keep looking in the guide for months till it shows up. Thanks, Bill

No, this feature does not exist; you can only schedule new recordings for items in the EPG. There are multiple feature requests which might address it, if implemented. Here are two popular ones:

[Feature Request] [DVR] Create recording for program not in EPG

Allow the search to provide a match a user can select for recording regardless of that programs pressence in the EPG. Use case: New series to premier in the fall but it’s still the spring. Since I saw the trailer today I want to create a schedule for when it airs. Then I don’t have to keep tracking the news to find the premier date and create a calendar event to create the schedule. Similar to but without the mysql syntax: https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Custom_Recording

Smart Recording by keyword

Could you please add the ability to record shows automatically by keyword, as per eyeTV smart recordings. Using rules to combine different requirements to be met, such as recording any show that contains “Cycling” and only record one of the shows, preferably the HD version, if there are multiple copies of the same show playing on different channels at the same time. thanks

Wow, thats truly a big missing feature when you are required to pay for Plex Pass to do OTA recording. Kind of glad I chose the monthly option so I’m only out $5. Searching the guide also doesn’t work, another particularly odd missing feature on a DVR. I guess I am not moving from SageTV in the foreseeable future.

Searching the guide also doesn’t work, another particularly odd missing feature on a DVR.

Can you elaborate on this? You can search the guide through in the web client, at the top-left. Just enter your search and then click “Search all sources.” Or, you can browse all shows/episodes/movies/etc… present in the guide on the Browse tab of Live TV & DVR.

Never mind, I saw you made a separate post where you provide more detail. I replied there.
