Comment:

 In current MythTV (including 0.21-fixes), you may create a recording rule
 and specify a "Duplicate In" value of "Exclude unidentified episodes" (see
 [12433]), which tells MythTV not to record the episode if it's a generic
 episode.

  * On Apr 12, 2006, this ticket was closed/wontfix with a recommendation
 to use a Custom Recording rule specifying "Exclude unidentified episodes."
  * On Apr 23, 2006, the reporter re-opened the ticket saying that over 30
 rules would need to be changed to custom rules, so it's too many for
 custom rules.
  * On Jan 6, 2007, [12433] made it possible to specify "Exclude
 unidentified episodes" without using custom rules.

 Since the new filter checks that category is series and that the programid
 ends with '0000', it overlaps the code that sets generic (in
 programs/mythfilldatabase/main.cpp around line 716), so you should get the
 same behavior by using the "new" "Exclude unidentified episodes" dupin
 value on a normal recording rule without needing a new filter.
