For The Record - The rule-based scheduling suite (12 Viewers)

I think that would be an excellent addition.

I added that check now, a message box will appear if .NET 3.0 is not found, and the installation will be aborted. This will be in the next upload I do.

Something else: what database did you guys test with? I do most of my (unit) testing with SQL Express, but of course I want MySQL to work perfectly as well

I use SQL Express.

Me too SQl Express

It's great to see you're still working on this idea.

Good luck with it!

I have been watching this thread for a while and this is looking very good, look forward to testing this.

I'm most likely uploading a new testversion this week, but to tease a bit further, some new screenshots

I've got a quick question.

When you've scheduled a recording does it actually get recorded by mediaportal, or is this not implemented yet?

I've got a quick question.

When you've scheduled a recording does it actually get recorded by mediaportal, or is this not implemented yet?

What I've been working on so far is the scheduling engine, so all the XMLTV parsing and logic for the TV guide, handling the scheduling logic with its set of rules, stuff like that...

The Management Console of which I've posted screenshots here is a "basic" application that allows you to monitor and basically control the TvScheduler service.

So to actually record anything more is needed. Any program could hook up to the scheduler service actually, but the aim is to have MediaPortal, or more likely TV Server/TVE3 hook up to it. And to have the MediaPortal TV guide and scheduling plugins talk to TvScheduler, to make the circle complete.

It would be fairly easy to modify the TVE3 recording thread to read out the upcoming recordings from TvScheduler and record them as needed.

Before I started this, there were two major design goals for me:

• Completely separate the scheduling logic into it own sub-system with a clean API.
• Make this API available over WCF services, in other words perfect for multiple clients on a network.

One of the reasons I started to write the Management Console was to demonstrate (also to myself) that these two goals were met, sort of a proof of concept.

It's perfectly possible to run the console on any machine on your network, not just the server. To make it even sweeter, it would be perfectly possible to run the Management Console anywhere on the internet, as long as you have the proper TCP ports routed to your server.

Any ETA?
