For The Record - The rule-based scheduling suite

[vertiger]

hi dvdfreak,

is it possible to change the TVE3 plugin to only sync TV channels? (it also tries to sync the epg of radio channels)

i would like to make the changes myself but i can not find the sources for the plugin.

I'm confused:

Doesn't the scheduler work with TV3?

I'm attaching the source to this post, and I'll also add it to the first post of this thread.

If anyone else is interested in improving the plugin (e.g. to make it sync deleted recordings too, like Midget pointed out), feel free of course. Just please send me the modified source so I can incorporate and merge all changes.

There is a TVE3 plugin which is the bridge between TV Scheduler and MediaPortal's TVE3.

I may have an explanation for this problem. Is it possible that you have:

1. a LOT of guide data, so many channels with many programs?
2. complex schedules that use one or more Contains rules, and typically without any channels limitation on top of that?

Both of these together could mean that the query used by TV Scheduler will be quite heavy for SQL Express so that it takes a lot longer to complete the query than usually, especially if your system is under load.

I'm going to add a much longer timeout for that one particular query in the next version, hoping that this will fix this problem.

I'll add this to the next release. If people really want this sooner, feel free to post some binaries.

Hi everbody,

is the source of the management console available?

I want to modify the startup procedure a little bit.
My plan is to integrate an automatic Wake-On-Lan feature.

it should work this way:

  check if TVServer ist online
    if
       just connect and bring up the console
    else
      send WOL package to the server to bring it up, 
         if seccessful
            connect and open the console
          else 
             wait for user instructions (e.g. if you start the program the fist time)

MOnchi

ps.: would be nice if you can put the source on the SVN so overybody has axx to the lastes ones
