The version of tvheadend supplied with openSUSE uses only the extended POSIX regex engine, rather than the PCRE or PCRE2 engines that provide greater expressive power when setting up programme searches (autorecs) in the GUI. If PCRE or PCRE2 are present in the compilation environment then tvheadend's configuration system will cause them to be used.[1] Is this choice to cripple the regex engine a deliberate (and IMHO misguided) attempt to minimise dependencies, or is it due to ignorance of the need to provide the desired regex engine in the compilation environment, or something else? In any event I'd like to see it updated to include the PCRE engine or better the PCRE2 engine, as done by Debian and other distros.
