Subject: Can I Set Radio Modes for Individual Search Items in PVR List?

. I could then
use "best"
for radio 3 music and a much lower quality for spoken word. Is this
already possible?

As I almost exclusively use the browser-based PVR, setting recording
modes
for both TV and radio is simple - use the Recoding tab for your
preferences.
I record the highest quality radio as it is mostly music but accept a
lower
quality (not much lower in my opinion) for TV because of my poor
broadband
speed. If I wanted to, I imagine I could change the quality mode for each
individual recording.
To set different qualities for different radio programmes may be
possible
and I expect Vangelis will have the answer to this using some clever CLI
script. However even a Radio Three 5 hour broadcast of Der Rosenkavalier
only requires 678MB and with the cost of disk storage so cheap, to me it
doesn't seem worth the effort of downgrading recording quality for radio.
You possibly have a different view.

As I see it the poster was not complaining about file size for the music
programmes, only about the overkill for speech.
I use batch files to download the programmes I need. The batch files
would read a text file listing the programmes to be downloaded. In that
scenario there is nothing to stop you having two sets of batch file/text
file, one batch file specifying the rate you wish to download music with
the appropriate programmes listed in the corresponding text file and a
second batch file specifying a lower bitrate for the spoken programmes,
again with a matching text file listing those programmes.
If you need help on the appropriate content of batch and text files,
just yell and we'll show you how to do it.
Hi Alan,
Thanks. Your interpretation of my intent is correct. Yes I could set up
a batch file or several and run them as cron jobs in the same way as I
run pvr now.
For all intents and purposes however pvr does the most of the work for
me now and would do all that I want if I could set mode along with
search criteria. Before I go down the batch file route I shall dig more
into pvr.
Regards,
Budge
