Hi, Below is a few examples of shows which are flagged in my scheduler to be recorded even though their the same episode.
1) Title: Lost Episode: 24/25 - Exodus 2/3 Description: Drama series following the survivors of a plane crash who are forced to live with each other on a remote island, a dangerous world with many new threats. The column of smoke continues to billow from deep in the jungle, and the survivors need to get to safety. Claire must deal with the fact that the Others are after her baby. Title: Lost Episode: Exodus Part 2 Description: Drama series following the survivors of a plane crash who are forced to live with each other on a remote island, a dangerous world with many new threats. The column of smoke continues to billow from deep in the jungle, and the survivors need to get to safety. Claire must deal with the fact that the Others are after her baby. In this case the obvious problem is the Episode. Throughout the series the main difference here has been the nn/nn part in the Title. 2) Title: Star Trek: Enterprise Episode: Broken Bow Description: Prequel `Star Trek' series, set 100 years before the time of Captain Kirk, when interstellar travel is in its infancy. In the pilot episode, the Enterprise sets off on her maiden voyage to return a wounded Klingon to his people. Title: Star Trek: Enterprise Episode: Broken Bow Description: Prequel Star Trek series, set 100 years before the time of Captain Kirk, when interstellar travel is in its infancy. In this pilot episode, the Enterprise sets off on her maiden voyage to return a wounded Klingon to his people. A very subtle change with the quotes around the Star Trek. Other changes I remember seeing include the gramatical "which" -> "that" change that Word always seems to highlight, and (Reviewed by: A N Other) tagged on the end. While I know I could change the matching categories to just description for Lost and Episode for Enterprise, I'm not convinced that this will get all episodes. Sometimes we just get a duplicate description, for example. Is it possible to produce a matching algorithm that does this on a 'fuzzy' basis, so that if the description is 98% (or more, maybe with an Episode name identical or also very similar) then the scheduler can flag it as a duplicate? Before I go hunting through google to find such an algorithm, how would you react to such an idea? Regards, Ant. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
