Fix Genre/Category Support
Posted: Mon Jan 18, 2016 7:10 am
I've been using Argus TV for quite a few months and I'm very pleased with it.
There's really only a single limitation that I've found that I would ask for improvement in the next version.
I'm a user in the United States and I have a Schedules Direct account.
Apparently when categories are attached to an item in Schedules Direct, they are separated by commas. Argus doesn't parse these into separate Genres/Categories.
Instead, an entry for Action is seen as a category and Action,Adventure is seen as another category.
What we should be seeing is a single category for Action and another category for Adventure.
See attached screen shot.
I'd really like the category function to work correctly.
Because, if the category function is working correctly, that would mean that the Upcoming Suggestions feature of Argus would work correctly.
What do I mean by working correctly? Well, if I want to have Argus monitor items that are for Action, I would have to enter all the categories for "Action". Those would be "Action" "Action,Adventure" and so forth. That's not great because it ends up returning way too many hits.
That's it.
There's nothing else I really want. It's pretty much perfect in every other way.
Thanks!
