For The Record - The rule-based scheduling suite - Page 12

Cool trick

But indeed, won't be needed anymore soon.

Apart from the timezone issue, things are running fine for you?

I'll try to upload something soon, it's been a while and there have been enough changes in the mean time that could use more testing.

I don't know if anyone is even remotely interested in this

, but here's a small diagram to illustrate the TvScheduler architecture:

record-rule-based-scheduling-suite-tvscheduler-architecture.png

There are three assemblies that are referenced by any code that wishes to talk to the TvScheduler WCF services:

TvScheduler.ServiceContracts
TvScheduler.Entities
TvScheduler.ServiceAgents

But I guess I should upload a next test-version instead of (not so) pretty pictures

Just like to add my comment.
Had a play and this looks brilliant, very customizable.
Any news on making it work with TVE3?

Not yet, I'm afraid. Unfortunately my laptop broke down two weeks ago, and HP seems to have delivery problems for the new one I ordered

So development has slowed down a bit. But more is coming, so stay tuned...

In the mean time: I still want to add a manual schedule possibility to try and complete the feature set. Right now it's very customizable to set up your schedules, but I guess there may still be situations in which you would want to add a totally manual schedule: record channel TVFoo from 20:00 until 21:00 for example. My question is: how "powerful" should this manual schedule be? Should it offer a daily/weekly repeat? Anything else? What do you all think?

The_Stig · 2007-10-13, 12:32

For me personally manual isnt important at all. Never used that feature. But probably others could find it useful...

dvdfreak · 2007-10-13, 13:24

OK, so as far as you are concerned, if I do add a manual rule no repeats needed. Dumb and simple.

The_Stig · 2007-10-13, 14:17

Dunno if there is anyone out without EPG-Data. But if I learned one thing: "There is nothing out there that doesnt exist". So I would say, have an option: yes, make it "advanced": no.

Agree...

dvdfreak · 2007-10-15, 07:59

I also agree, that's what I planned from the start: basic manual support. But I'm glad everyone is thinking the same

GSteele · 2007-10-16, 09:37

I can see an option that I'd use a repeating manual record for. We have regular documentary hour on one chanel that my wife always wants to watch something else. But the name of the segment changes so a manual repeat on that chanel would be good. Especially if it still recorded the program name and details rather than manual SBS_1930-2030 which would tend to be rather uninformative.
So advanced is good but only time,channel & daily/weekly would be required for my scenario.

Thanks for all the great work. This definately gets the scheduleing upto par with Windows MCE if not well beyond it.

Thanks dvdfreak
