[Plex DVR] Add option to cancel recording a single program/episode within a series

Feature Suggestions
1

With the Plex DVR, it appears that there are currently two options when recording:
1. Manually record each episode that you want one by one, or
2. Configure the DVR to record all episodes for a series/title

When using the second option, I’d like to request that there be an option to cancel the recording in advance or in progress for a single episode within that series. Currently, it appears that the only option is to cancel the recording for the entire series only.

Use case #1: Configure series record for a sport/season, in this case I’ll use Spanish Primera Division Soccer as an example. Let’s say there are matches starting at 9 AM, 11 AM, and 1 PM. If you know you don’t want to watch the 11 AM match, have the ability to cancel the recording for the 11 AM match only, while still recording the 9 AM and 1 PM matches.

Use case #2: Configure series record for a TV show. Let’s say that you’ve already seen some episodes of that show and you don’t want to watch them again. Include the ability to cancel the recording for the episode(s) that you’ve already seen or that you know you don’t want to watch.

Please be sure to “Like” this post to request this feature.

Definitely something I use in WMC that I’d like to see duplicated.

Would love this - here’s my use case. I record Saturday Night Live, which airs 11:30 PM ET on…Saturdays. I have the series recording to record not at a specific time as I also like to record the Saturday 10:00 PM airing, which is always a repeat episode - which is sometimes an older episode I do not have recorded/archived. But also sometimes, the 10:00 PM airing is the previous week’s episode, which I already have recorded.

So as it stands, I need to let it record, then delete the recording afterwards. The program guide tells me which episode it is in advance, so I would love to prevent the recording if I don’t “need” it.
