Hey all,
A while back I made a quick "fix" to MediaPortal 0.2 to change the algorithm behind Weekly (and Daily) schedules.
Like MP works out of the box is very simple: record every week from 22:00 until 23:00, whatever the program at that time. The way I modified it is also simple, but IMHO more useful: record program FOO every week "around" the same start-time.
So if program FOO is no longer broadcast nothing will be recorded. If program FOO starts 10 minutes earlier or later next week, it will still be recorded. If program FOO happens to be a 2-hour special next week, it will still be (completely) recorded.
I've been running with my little patch for a while now and could not do without it again
This algorithm is very easy to implement and I'd be happy to do this for TVE3. But before I did so I wanted to throw this into the group: what is the general feedback on this? It would be great if the patch could be applied to the main code base.
