The Vuelta a'Espania is the Spanish equivalent of the Tour de France, with SBS providing a similar level of coverage.  SBS will be showing every stage live, with the first stage starting at 2:45AM on Sunday (SBS VICELAND HD).  They also show daily highlights, with the first starting at 17:05 (SBS HD).  Both the Live Stages and the Daily Highlights are currently coded in IceTV as "Cycling: La Vuelta".  Would it be possible to code these separately, as is done with the Tour?

If you don't want the daily highlights to record, you could set up a keyword recording for it, excluding the highlights programming -
title:"La Vuelta" -title:"Highlights".

Actually, I only want the Highlights, not the Live Stages.

I could setup an AutoTimer, but these are clearly separate shows and should be coded accordingly.

Then a keyword search of:
title:"La Vuelta" +title:"Highlights"
should only record the highlights showings.

I just tried that, and got nothing.  I suspect the problem is that "Highlights" is in the description field, not part of the title.

'title' matches against both series and episode names.  Where I got it wrong was the '+' I think.
title:"La Vuelta" title:Highlights
That shows (currently) for me -
Cycling: La Vuelta '2019 - Highlights Stage 1'

That works!  That said, I still think it should be coded as separate shows.  I'm happy to wait and see what their SBS team member comes up with - the first recording is still 6 days away.

Hi grumpy_geoff,
I will be separating the highlights episodes into it's own program like to Tour de France. This will fix the issue going forward and the guide will be updated shortly.

I also fixed the title to "Cycling: La Vuelta A Espania" as SBS only had it as "Cycling: La Vuelta"
