Scenario:
Live-TV/DVR configures, some TV shows set up for recording (new and repeat airings, disallow partial recordings, replace lower resolution items).
User plan:
- Have your favorite TV shows automatically recorded (leave alone scenario)
- grab even “repeat” airings, if these items are missing in the library
- get better quality resolution for already existing episodes
User wish:
- delete individual planned episode recordings (for whatever reason, is already existing, have it on DVD, do not like it) from recording overview in Plex Web.
Expected behavior:
- If you select a single episode recording, you should be able to delete that single recording or planned recording, even if the series is configured as “record the series”.
Observed behavior:
You can only delete the planned recording of ALL episodes if you configured a TV show to be recorded.
Feature: easily remove planned recordings of “single atoms” (ie. episodes) no matter how the recording was initially configured and not automatically get them back in the recording plan after the next grid update.
Work around:
Open up a series and click to record each wanted episode individually. The draw back (apart from all the extra effort) is that future airings are not automaticallly added to the recoding plan.
This makes recording TV shows via Plex less usable in real life.
Thank you for listening.
