9.1 Wishlist bug?

I tried this search on my S3 and got the same result you did. I agree that it's a bug. I have a different search with two keywords (each in parentheses - all letters, no numbers) combined with a category and it works correctly. Maybe using one or both keywords with numeric values is confusing it.

 

Did you try (2006 * 2005) * HD:Movies

?

did you try it without the HD qualifier?

and did you try a search on jsut HD movies with no year qualifier?

I think this might be a identify HD movies bug instead

 

The * can't be both AND and OR. If "2006 * HD:Movies" finds only 2006 HD movies, then "2005 * 2006 * HD:Movies" will find only HD movies with both 2005 -and- 2006.

I think the "vanilla and/or chocolate" description is wrong.

EDIT: Nevermind... I finally found the Wishlist explanation, and the parens indicate an (optional) keyword. So (choc) * (van) * -straw should return chocolate and/or vanilla, but no strawberry. So I'm not sure why yours isn't working.

 

What is the point of an optional keyword? The expression will always evaluate to be TRUE.

 

I think 'optional' keyword means 'boolean OR'

 

This seems like a pretty obvious bug in 9.1, so I assume Tivo will fix it in the next version of their software.

 

We're aware of this. I believe you'll find that the bug is that the field in the metadata that contains the year isn't being searched (you probably saw some results from the first test as some programs happen to list the year somewhere in the description or title as well).

Unfortunately it could not be addressed in this release.

Odd. In my (limited) experience searching for years did work for movies. But of course not for TV shows. Did searching for movie years stop working in 9.1?

 

I hope some day the keyword Blackout can be searched. This is stored in the metadata somewhere as well but there's no way to catch it in a wishlist search. This would make recording sports that come on multiple channels so much easier.

 

I found another bug. It in the actor search, can someone test this on another TiVo. I have the TiVoHD. The actor search I have is for Michael C. Hall.

The Wishlist setup for the actor is Hall, Michael C.

This setup find nothing, not even the current “Dexter” on CBS. I check the program info on “Dexter” and the actor name is there, so I am guessing that when the search is made on the name it not picking up the period in the middle initial. C.

This work find on the Serie2 TiVo.

Is this a bug?

 

what I hate is doing a an actor wishlist for STING. He's in the list of actors just fine, but when you look at the output of the wishlist, you get lots of programs that have the word sting anywhere in the description or title.

For example you get episodes of 'Cops' because they have some sort of drug sting and whatnot. What's the point of specifying that it's and ACTOR wishlist, when it disregards that and looks at any and all text.

 

/sigh, It looks like this bug was not able to be addressed in the 9.3 release either.
