Does anyone else find the same?
No metacharacters effectively means perform a substring match, which
would always work so long as "Genius" is somewhere in the programme
name. "^Genius:" works if the programme name begins with "Genius:",
which it does in this case. That takes advantage of the fact that a
colon is used as a separator in the metadata and thus no need to
enter series number. Full name with series number is always best
for exact match. And of course you must be searching the programme
name, which is the default behaviour. "^Genius:" works fine here.
If it doesn't work for you, something else is wrong.
Thanks for your, and others', responses.
It's not "^Genius:" that doesn't work for me. As I said it's
"^Genius$" that doesn't work, probably because of the colon. I haven't
tried "^Genius:".
The web pvr generates strings starting "^" and ending "$" for a
series, but I usually want *all* series of the given programme, so I
usually edit the search string to remove the "series" part. If the
colon is omitted, the match on the "name" field fails.
That said, the downloaded programme *doesn't* have the colon in the
<name> field part of the generated filename, although it is in <name>.
I guess that is by design?
