Ok, I'm about to bang my head on the desk. Here's why... I'm trying to use MythWeb to create a custom power search for a handful of "Family Guy" episodes I don't already have. I select the following:

    Record at any time on any channel.
    Power Search
    Search Title: Family Guy (Missing Eps)
    Search Phrase:
    Code:
    program.title = 'Family Guy' AND (program.subtitle = 'Stewie B. Goode' OR program.subtitle = 'Bango Was His Name Oh' OR program.subtitle = 'Stu & Stewie's Excellent Adventure' OR program.subtitle = 'It Takes a Village Idiot, and I Married One') AND (channel.callsign = 'KTTVDT%' OR channel.callsign = 'KTLADT%')

    Date & Time left at defaults (Sunday 00:00:00)
    Recording Profile: High Quality
    Transcoder: Autodetect
    Recording Group: Humor
    Recording Priority: 3
    Check for duplicates in: All Recordings
    Duplicate Check method: None
    Auto Commercial Flag checked
    Auto Expire Unchecked
    Start 1 min early
    End 1 min late

When I press the Save Schedule button, the page refreshes. Everything is still there after the refresh, but the
Quote:
Record at any time on any channel.
radio button is no longer selected (nothing is). Click the radio button again and save. Same deal. I navigate back to Recording Schedules and my custom power search (Family Guy (Missing Eps)) is not there. I refresh the page and it's still not there. I've also tried without all the parenthesis () in the Search Phrase. What the frick am I doing wrong? :evil:

Could it have anything to do with the "Stu & Stevie's" phrase? I see it uses a single-quote, which you also used to delimit the strings (you may need to escape that somehow). The ampersand is sometimes a reserved character in some SQL character sets, but it should be protected by the quotes in this use.

Liv2Cod, Thank you! That did the trick. Here's my new search phrase that works:

Code:
program.title = 'Family Guy' AND (program.subtitle = 'Stewie B. Goode' OR program.subtitle = 'Bango Was His Name Oh' OR program.subtitle LIKE '%Excellent Adventure' OR program.subtitle = 'It Takes a Village Idiot, and I Married One') AND (channel.callsign = 'KTTVDT%' OR channel.callsign = 'KTLADT%')


I removed the "Stu & Stewie's" and went with the wildcard in it's place.

I use the following power search to get all of the Christmas specials for my kids. :P

1 Goto mythweb and click Recording Schedules CUSTOM.
2 Change type to Power Search.
3 Enter into Search Phrase.
Code:
program.category LIKE 'Holiday-children%'

4 Give it a nice Title.
5 Increase the record priority above less important recordings.
6 I record 1 minute early and end 1 minute late just to be sure of getting everyting, but watch out for conflicts.
7 Back in mythweb I view the Upcomming recordings and choose to NEVER record those shows I know I don't want. (Mr T's Kwaanza extravaganza)
8 Remove this custom record schedule after Christmas, or leave it for other Holidays.

Thanks to mihanson!
