FileSystemWatcher in a process plugin? (1 Viewer)

[MoPhat]

Hi i need a filesystem watcher in a process plugin... and its start with

public class StandbyWatcher : IPlugin, ISetupForm
{

uses a

private System.IO.FileSystemWatcher fileSystemWatcher1;

but his is not possible

 this.fileSystemWatcher1.SynchronizingObject = this;

it means at compiling:

Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'ProcessPlugins.StandbyWatcher.StandbyWatcher' to 'System.ComponentModel.ISynchronizeInvoke'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?) C:\...\StandbyWatcher.cs 105 60 StandbyWatcher

how can i get the filesystem watcher in a plugin?

thank you for any help

I use one of these in a window plugin (not that the type should matter in this case) and don't set the synchronizing object at all. Out of curiosity, why do you need to set it?

I need this for my new plugin Standby.Watcher (check link on footer), i have not found any way that the plugin is notified if a recording has started...

so , im using (trying) for the moment a filesystemwatcher in the recording folder, and if a recording starts i take the filename, with this i can check the tvs db for the schedule, get all infos... but i need just only the info when the recording is done (time). so i can adjust the system to go in to standby at this time if previously the powerbutton is pressed.

thats the reason why i need a filesystemwatcher.


or have you a hint how to get a notification if a recording starts (wihout using a timer)?

thx
