Create an override rule with "don't record" option for the specific
showings in the upcoming list. Note that you may have to create several
override rules because if you override one program it may simply switch
to recording the same program from another channel.

You can do this from the new web app if you are running master, or from
mythfrontend. Leanfront does not do overrides at this time.

Thanks, Using mythfrontend on v34 Master I can go to upcoming recordings
and on the one I don't want to record edit the recording to Add an override
and then select do not record. This then shows up with an "X" in the list
of upcoming but leaves the others alone.

I could not figure out how to do this with the Web app under the recording
rules or upcoming. I must have missed it.

Okay, I found the symbol next to the edit on the upcoming recordings tab.
Looks like a paper clip tilted. I can add an override to not record and
that works, but I could not delete the override. I had to go back to
mythfrontend to delete the override.

To delete the override in the web app go to the "Recording Rules" tab
and delete it there. Maybe I should include an option to also delete it
in the edit from the upcoming page.

Is there a well-defined definition of what
you are interested/not interested in?

For example, are you only interested in
a selected set of teams?

If so, I will note that at least one of the
Schedules Direct JSON grabbers offers
a number of additional artifacts such as
the teams that are playing (presuming
Schedules Direct has that information,
which is usually true for the US College
US football games). I believe one developer
expressed tentative interest in adding that
information for the ability for scheduling
choices at some future point, but AFAIK
no such updates have been committed.

If you might be interested in contributing
that code, you should likely post to the
-dev list for the ways to proceed.

In my case on Saturdays during the fall, College football is everywhere. A
number of the lesser channels fill their time with low-level teams games
and a lot of reruns. So if I weed them out by channel then I've solved my
problem. At that point on Fridays I can look at the upcoming recordings for
games then I create the override rule for the matchups that I don't care
about.

So with Peter's new Web App changes I can easily take care of my needs.
