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

[Gixxer]

.... really cool....
Maybe you are the one who could add something I am really missing in regards of scheduling recordings...:
- record everytime on this channel, but only new episodes (just like 4TR does)
- record everything that has e.g. "James Bond" in the title.

I really would like to the such features in MP - but they require heavy changes especially in the DB - and then my release wouldn't be compatible with the normal MP and i don't like this idea... or somebody has another good idea.

1.) How to detect if "this" is a new episode? Any idea (with the current DB design)?
2.) How would you like to enter such titles? Via the keyboard?

i was entering this post to suggest exactly the same.

one thing i miss alot is setting a schedule that will record every program in any channel that contains a certain string of words.
this way by adding a few schedules with the following words would make me reaaaaaaally happy.
sbk, superbikes, motociclismo, doc:, discovery, motogp, rally, race.... and so on.

keyboard entry would be great !!!

is it possible?

Hi,
->1) Would it be possible to maybe compare the episode text in the description with already recorded xml-files?, maybe only the first lets say 10-20 characters..? I know this is quite straight forward, but I don't see how 4tr does this.
-> 2) just like the usual search via keyboard or remote. This feature is actually meant to setup a recording where no show is already in the epg, understand?... You know you want to record every "James Bond" movie, when it will be on air....

cheers

Help! Am I doing something stupid or what? I don't seem to be able to get TV with this version...

So I downloaded and installed Disaster's latest release, following the instruction as far I as can see. Installed TV Server first (getting it to uninstall previous 1.0 release, completely etc.). Then I tune my card to get channels, and all is well. I then install MP, and all goes well, except when I get to configuring this there's no TV! (I can't add a card or do anything in the Television config). In the codec section some items are greyed out...

What am I doing wrong? Is there a different way of setting up MP with TVE3, or something?

didn't read that you installed tve-plugin after mp installation, did you?

Nope! What's it say?

...Nope! What's it say

nothing important, i guess

Oh well, if it is that important, disaster123 would have included the instruction/info in his first post!

(Oh well, I'll wait until the official 1.0.1 release, and try some other SVN releases in the meantime! You diehard-MP-fans like to keep things to your-lonely-selves, then?)

sorry, my english is not good enough to read between the lines. have not been sure if this was a serious request for help

just run the tve setup a second time. keep tv-server selected and add the tve-plugin for mp too. you might want to export your channel config of the tvserver before - just in case.

now you should see all parts enabled in the codec tab of the mp config for tv. enter the host name of the tvserver and do the rest of the configuration. check firewall settings on the tvserver and the mp client (when it's not a single-seat installation) in order to enable the mp client to communicate with the sql-server and the tvserver. to keep troubleshooting simple it's not that bad to disable both firewalls in the first step. when everything is working as expected you should enable them.

installation of this release is not that straight forward compared to the main release 1.0, it's more like the old fashioned way of installing mp+tve. so if there are any questions, do not hesitate to ask.

Always install mediaportal first and then TVServer + TVClient plugin second, this ensure's the correct TV plugin is installed.
