For The Record 1.3.3 Released (2 Viewers)

[dvdfreak]

Is there a way to make recordings with 4TR that supports My TVSeries like when recording with only MP and TVServer. What I mean is to create a folder structure like;
* %title%\season %series%\episode number %episode%\%title%

example: Stargate Atlantis\season 2\episode number 1\Stargate Atlantis.ts

Or are there any other ways to create recordings that My TVSeries can display?

Also, does 4TR make a difference between "Series" and "Movies"?

Version 1.3.1 will allow you to define the recordings path and filename for series recordings and for one-time recordings.

In a later version it's planned to make this configurable per schedule, but the new global defaults should already make a lot of people happy

For The Record 1.3.1.0 has been released!

This is mostly a maintenance release, but there are some new features as well, and the list of changes since version 1.3.0.0 is quite long:

• Core: added two new configuration settings: OneTimeRecordingsFileFormat and SeriesRecordingsFileFormat which are used to rename recordings after they are finished (settable from MMC).
• Core: added setting to use the same recorder/tuner priority for recordings as for live TV (settable from MMC).
• Core: faster guide imports (measured 25% faster, your mileage may vary).
• Core: XMLTV importer now also reads the <episode> node as a fallback to <episode-num>.
• Core: better handling of no-signal situations, will also mail the error now.
• Core: schedule history now takes the episode title and the episode number into account as a combined episode title.
• Core: added warning log for skipped recordings due to no card being found to record them on.
• MMC: new recordings import/synchronization wizard in Management Console (button in "Recorded Programs" panel).
• MMC: new export wizard to easily export your recorded programs to an external device or location.
• MMC: recordings panel now loads all recordings in a background worker.
• MMC: "Record" menuItem is now also available for suggestions and alerts.
• MMC: added splash screen.
• MMC and Server Status: an active recording can now be played using a context menu or double-click.
• MMC and Web Access: groups and non-groups in Recorded Programs are now mixed when ordered by date (identical to the MediaPortal client).
• MediaPortal TV Server: implemented manual channel linking in the recorder/tuner plugin.
• MediaPortal UI: included Aeon Wide skins.
• MediaPortal UI: TV client settings are visible again in MediaPortal's configuration (now installing dummy TVPlugin.dll).
• MediaPortal UI: it's now possible to zap by channel number within the current group.
• MediaPortal UI: prefer AC3 and preferred languages implemented.
• MediaPortal UI: fixed '0' in MediaPortal client fullscreen TV: will swap and zap previous and current channel.
• MediaPortal UI: added global recording indicator.
• MediaPortal UI: crop settings are now correctly applied.
• MediaPortal UI: implemented standard "autofullscreen" and "autoturnontv" settings.
• MediaPortal UI: enhanced program's description, now includes the director and actors (if known).
• MediaPortal UI: Included new Blue3wide skin support.
• MediaPortal UI: Included new Aeon wide skin files from Trevor.
• MediaPortal UI: now respects the "showChannelStateIcons" setting (only recording channels are shown).
• MediaPortal UI: mini-guide now shows state icon for channels that are currently recording.
• MediaPortal UI: implemented record button in MediaPortal TV guide and fullscreen playback.
• MediaPortal UI: TV guide now also shows channels that have no guide data, since zapping to them for live TV makes sense.
• MediaPortal UI: move up/down are now mapped to jumping a big step forward/back, just like the standard TV plugin.
• MediaPortal UI: 'hideAllChannelsGroup' setting will only have effect if there are other groups defined, otherwise the 'All Channels' group will be shown anyway.
• Enhancement: ForTheRecord setup now support IIS7 (Vista) without using compatibility mode.
• Enhancement: ServerStatus Notifier now automatically finds a free TCP port to use, this allows it to run when multiple users are logged into a machine.
• Enhancement: IM-Bot will now keep the server and the local system alive.
• Enhancement: Server status notifier now also shows the schedule name.
• Enhancement: made setup easier for new users by asking for the machine role.
• Bug fix: repeating manual recordings were broken (only the last repeat was used).
• Bug fix: the live TV keep-alive signal from the MediaPortal client is now sent by a background thread and ensures live TV will keep running in all screens.
• Bug fix: skipping the pre-recording in the MediaPortal client plugin now handles the case when pre-record is still in progress correctly.
• Bug fix: MediaPortal client plugin now detects when another type of playback is started while live TV was on, and will end the live TV stream in that case.
• Bug fix: fixed sorting of date/time column in Management Console and Server Status Notifier.

Please check our forum, there is probably already an answer to your question ... Could you also provide a little more info about your system ? thx

The most common reason for this error is mistyping the services credentials (the second time credentials are asked during setup, these need to be either blank or an existing administrator account).

Otherwise check the event log with eventvwr.exe ad see if there's an error logged there...

Yes, my log, sory but my english is not perfect. Now i have the other problem: after entering password to MySql database (the same as for MediaPortal) and some installing procces my PC wrote: failed to start for the record scheduler servis...and...System.InvalidOperationExeption etc etc. Help please!!!

 

[dvdfreak]

System.InvalidOperationExeption etc etc.

With all due respect, but information like this will not help us identify the real problem Please provide detailed error information.

Are you sure you entered an existing username and password during setup? Or did you leave the core services username/password empty (try that).

 

[PetrMan!]

it works OK. Thank you for this plugin.

 

[dvdfreak]

Glad to hear everything works now! Not 100% clear what your problem was, but I assume it was indeed the credentials during setup.
