extended MP 1.1 Disaster Edition includes more features and fixes by me (9 Viewers)

First, I hope you enjoy(ed) your holiday, Disaster

Second I have an improvement idea for your nice "record weekly everytime on this channel"-feature. Is it possible to have an option to limit this function, so it only records the show once a day?

What I mean: I want to record Dr. House, weekly, every thursday on channel XYZ. Problem is, the show is broadcastet at 20.15 and repeated later the same day at perhaps 23.00. Result with the current version is, that MP records the same show on that day twice. No big problem, but it blocks the TV-card two times that day.

I would like to have an option to limit this to only one recording on that day. But this limitation should be optional, so we still are able to record multiple shows on the same day if we want to. Something like an extra option in Timer settings "record weekly on that day on that channel anytime ONCE". Is that possible to implement?

That would make this feature perfect for my uses. But if it's too complicated to implement my wishes, it would be no problem anyway. I still love the Disaster Edition

Found solution to my problem

Hi,

In the message 297 of this thread, I raise a problem with MediaPortal that cannot see the files of a network drive if Windows fails to do it when it starts but became available after MediaPortal opened. I found my problem.

Don't use a Network Drive in Windows. Use the Network Address instead. I had a M: Drive before that pointed to \\MyNetwork\MyComputer and use the M: drive in My Videos, My Music and every other place in MP configuration. When I changed everything from M: to the network address, everything works perfectly.

Thanks again for your great work Disaster and I hope you enjoyed your week off.

Hallo Disaster123,

ich schreibe das in Deutsch, da mein Englisch einfach zu schlecht ist um zu schreiben was ich sagen will. Ich habe einen Fehler in deinem Paket entdeckt.

Vor einigen Wochen ging das problem los, das plötzlich der Auto Refreshrate Changer nicht mehr bei Video-Files in 24p oder anderen die Bildwiederholrate änderte. Ich habe das auf die SVN-Editionen geschoben und auf die finale 1.0.1.0 gewartet. Als sie kam und ich sofort deine Version frisch aufgesetzt habe, funktionierte der Changer immer noch nicht. Also ging die Fehlersuche los und ein Hilfeschrei im entsprechenden Forenbereich für den Refreshrate Changer. Keiner konnte mir helfen, ich sah nur, das er bei allen anderen funktionierte. Im Mediaportal Logfile stand immer drin, das der Changer die Rate nicht feststellen konnte. Komischerweise funktionierte es aber immer bei Live-TV, wenn ich den Desktop z.B. in 24Hz gestartet habe. Da stelle er brav auf 50Hz um.

Gestern Abend habe ich dann mal zum Testen auf die normale MP-Version umgesattelt, um zu sehen ob es dort funktioniert.

Bingo.

Hier funktioniert er perfekt. Der Changer erkennt wieder die Rate und schaltet um. Also hörte es bei mir auf zu funktionieren, als ich auf deine Edition umgestellt hatte. Ich hoffe, du kannst den Fehler orten und vernichten, damit ich wieder zurück zu deiner Version kann. Im Threat, in dem es um die Entwicklung des Refreshrate Changers geht, habe ich das Logfile mit dem Problem mal angehängt und direkt im Text die Bereiche ausgeschnitten. Ich hoffe, du kannst damit was anfangen.

i think this is too complicated - which channels in germany do this?

Palm_Maniac
this is an english thread so please keep it in english. This could be related to the following change made by me:
"- patch for skipping mediainfo on networkshare drives"

mediainfo is the part which detects the framerate. So could you please post logs so that i can have a look at it?

Hi Disaster,

for example SAT 1 does this with "Navy CIS" on sunday. First broadcast at 20.15, repeated at 23.30 the same day, leads to a double record of the same episode...
I already thought that this might be too complicated for a quick fix.
As I said before that's no big problem. Would have been nice anyway. Maybe ForTheRecord would be able to do this, but I just don't want another plugin for this special case.

 

[disaster123]

oh that's really bad normally say send it after 23:59 that was why i implemented such feature... at the moment i have no idea how to do that.

here the Log-Files. The log files come of my Backup with the last version of you. It is the last SVN version before MP 1.0.1.0. I hope those go also, in order to find the error.

 

[disaster123]

is "X:\Filme\Born to be Wild.mkv" on a networkshare drive?

 

[Palm_Maniac]

Yes. This is a external Drive on my Server.

 

[disaster123]

so that's the expected bahaviour and a feature of my release

Post 1:
"- patch for skipping mediainfo on networkshare drives"

i added this cause for me all media files over networkshared drives took 15s to start. You don't have this problem?
