Announcement: State of EPG & TV metadata in Plex

I would like to chime in here and say, Thank you Plex dev’s for admitting this and moving forward on what I suspect will be a completely revamped DVR!

If you don’t mind, I would like to ask for a couple of basic workflows.

  1. Manual recording.
  2. A total revamp on DVR scheduling recordings and managing recordings. Something like a Calendar to easily see the Dates, Program, Channel name, etc. Adjusting recording priority and deleting schedules should be selectable of multiple items perhaps with a simple calendar layout without dragging through outdated numerous past recording to the top of the current ‘Recording priority’ panel.
  3. To be able to ‘clip out’ a clip to export a short part of a show to HEVC or mp4 file for export.

Thank you Plex and a special shoutout to @sa2000 He is the best!

PS: Have a look at the outdated Elgato EyeTV Smart guides. It was a powerful and effective DVR way back then. Simple Calendar layout with right click dropdown menus.
