i guess nobody really wants to say that 4TheRecord is bad. It's a great peace of software.
I do agree with Paranoid Delusion because there are also a lot of people who run a single seat configuration.
I'm using PVRS to handle all my standby issues, because for some strange reason this is the only program the works really fine. Since 4TheRecord does not use mps internal scheduler it is not possible to use pvrs for me anymore.
Thats a big drawback for me, since it's not only standby related (clickfinder integration, tv browser, ... ) and you can't use comskip.
The next big issue for me is the seperation of my records. If i had used mp to record i have to use a different menu than in 4TR.
I know that this is all planned and i can see the advantages in your way, but wouldn't it be possible for 4TR to use the internal scheduler for recording ?
4TR could synch with the scheduler (recording table) and read and write recording tasks to it. The complete priority handling and other things could stay in 4TR the only thing that would have to be changed is that it writes upcoming recordings into the scheduler.
That way users would still be able to use pvsr, comskip and all the other tools that are available for mp.
Maybe this can be added as a second MP recorder ??
Thanks for your effort
