For The Record - The rule-based scheduling suite - Page 15

My SQL version is 5.0.37-community-nt. From the db I see that all tables have been added as InnoDB tables. So this should be ok.

In addition, here's what the log says
- Importer 73 2007-10-28 12:24:09 Importing C:\Programme\Team MediaPortal\TvScheduler\xmltv\tvguide_f.xml
XMLTV
- Import Thread 69 2007-10-28 12:24:44 File tvguide_f.xml, Der Ersteller dieses Fehlers hat keinen Grund angegeben. (translation: The originator of this error did not add a reason).

I have attached the xml files I try to import, and which are moved to the rejected folder once the import did not work.

I appreciate your application and your support.

I've found the problem, and MySQL support was indeed broken. Guess you were the first to try the beta on MySQL

I will fix this for the next release!

The next release will also contain something a lot of testers have been waiting for

hi 1rst thanks for your application but i can't have it run on my comp i have the same problem than in the post up this one .
i attached my rejected folder too.

Okay, I guess you are using MySQL as well then?

I'll probably post a new version tomorrow, and I'll try to test it as much as possible with MySQL myself this time

The new version will also keep track of recorded programs, and I'll include a first version of a plugin for TVE3 to synchronize TvScheduler's schedules with TVE3's. So whatever you schedule in TvScheduler with all its advanced scheduling logic will be recorded by TVE3.

I really want to thank everyone who has been testing this so far, since after all TvScheduler has been quite useless until now

But with the TVE3 plugin it will finally be possible to really use it. It won't be quite as good when TVE3/MediaPortal would have built-in support, but it's a first important step.

Yéééé! It is one small step for man, one giant step for MP! I will try and test it out as much as possible...

dvdfreak · 2007-10-30, 14:02

Check the first posting in this thread. A new beta has been uploaded.

Including TVE3 plugin this time! I look forward to your feedback, this is only a first version of the plugin, so there may obviously still be problems with it. Let me know!

Nice one! But for me personally it would be of great use if you could somehow use the TVServer-DB for the EPG-Data. The way currently with export to xmltv is simply not usuable on a daily basis. So I would love to see that on top of your ToDo-List :-)

Edit:
Some questions while playing with it:

#1: What happens to "double" schedules in the meaning of: Scheduled a recording with TVPlugin and this recording is on list of TVScheduler too?

#2: How do I schedule a series like record where title contains "CSI" and "Vegas"? (If I use contains "CSI Vegas" it doesnt find "CSI - Las Vegas")

#3: Any chance to have the linking list in TVSchedulerPlugin listed in alphabetical order? And maybe a "backup"-function to save mapping?

#4: How to use the "Season Pass" or "Episodes Handling" to not record re-runs of the show?

#5: Deleting a TVScheduler-Schedule from within MyTV->Scheduled doesnt work. Any chance that this works?

#6: An option for TV Scheduler Management Console on recordings/suggestions/alerts: Like "Active" with a checkbox would be nice. So it would be easy to keep the schedule, but set it inactive on a fast way.

#7: For the options "TV Channels", "Categories" and so on it would be nice to have an "Add all" on top of the list. This way its easier to cut out the not needed channels, categories and so on. And/or a option for "is" or "is not" would be nice too, to get more flexibility, like the dropdown in titles.

#8: Option (maybe right click )to see the whole info for a upcoming recording/suggestion/alert. Currently I can not see the whole description.

EDIT #2:

Now that I played with it, I have to say its really great! Absolutely fantastic work. Would be ncie if you could comment on my suggestions/questions, but I guess its really not the biggest problems anymore to get this going for daily use!

I found a problem with the priority setting, if I set it to 'very low' I get two error dialogs. I have attached screenshots of both of them. The first one (Screenshot - 2007-10-30 , 16_32_20.png) shows when saving the schedule and the second one (Screenshot - 2007-10-30 , 16_29_52.png) shows when entering 'Recordings'. There is nothing in the event log.

How will the priority handle this scenario?

Schedule 1 at 18:00 and schedule 2 at 18:05. Both have a 30 minute duration. Schedule 1 is set to Low and schedule 2 is set to Normal. Which will be recorded?

Another problem is that if I setup a schedule with the default pre- and postpadding and then change one of them after saving it. The change will not be reflected in the TVE3 scheduling.

When trying this I also noticed that if I deleted a schedule and recreated it with another padding setting it didn't update the TVE3 scheduling. This was because I created the new one before the plugin had time to delete the old schedule in TVE3. What is the update interval?

Otherwise...very cool!

@dvdfreak: Have you contacted the MP devs to talk about getting this inside MP2? Now could be the time to start talking about the best way to integrate this into the new version. No?

Most propably the TVE3 is used also for the next generation MP versions.
