For The Record - The rule-based scheduling suite (1 Viewer)

[dvdfreak]

Interesting idea, but would you ask the user if he or she would try to wake up the server, are always automatically try to do this? Because if you do it automatically I'm just thinking, what if the server really isn't there, or a user that has a server without wake-on-lan uses the console, would that cause problems?

The source to the console is not available (yet) and TV Scheduler is undergoing some significant changes at the moment, so I'd rather look at integrating something like this for the next release. If you want, if it's doable and the code is separate enough you can send it to me for integration...

Hi everbody,

is the source of the management console available?

I want to modify the startup procedure a little bit.
My plan is to integrate an automatic Wake-On-Lan feature.

it should work this way:

  check if TVServer ist online
    if
       just connect and bring up the console
    else
      send WOL package to the server to bring it up, 
         if seccessful
            connect and open the console
          else 
             wait for user instructions (e.g. if you start the program the fist time)

ps.: would be nice if you can put the source on the SVN so overybody has axx to the lastes ones

We don't want the startup of the management console to depend on the availability of TvServer. However the possibility to send a WOL is an interesting idea. If you have the code to do so, please PM it and we will see what we can do with it.

Yes I know

But I've been unable to reach some common ground with the MediaPortal development team about an integration of TV Scheduler into TVE3, which was my original intention (you can read this in the first post of this thread). Obviously TV Scheduler would have been open source just like TVE3. But it seems we are on a different wave-length, so that's basically where this idea stopped.

So I've decided to let TV Scheduler continue to grow into a standalone system that will handle everything schedule-related. This will include recording conflict detection (with full priority support of course) and handling the actual recording through "pluggable recorders". There will be a new TVE3 recorder plugin of course to replace the current TVE3 plugin (which will become obsolete, or rather morph into a TV Scheduler recorder service).

Further along I also hope to get some MediaPortal client-side plugin(s) to edit schedules, view upcoming recordings/suggestions, handle alerts, etc...

So with this new direction I'm still not sure what to do with the source, make it open source or not, all of it, parts of it,... Time will tell...

Hi again!

I have a question, my xmltv importer imports all available tv channels in scandinavia, and I do of course not have all those channels. Would it be possible for the TV Scheduler to ignore unlinked channels? The TV guide gets totally messed up atm

TV Scheduler itself has no idea which channels are linked or not. But what I suggest you do is either:

1. Filter your XMLTV file, why download all those channels every day when you don't need them (think green ).
2. or: Turn the Visible flag for the channels off in the management console, then they will no longer appear in the guide.

1) It's not in my power to do so when using this afaik

Or, hm, no, there is some possibility to use some form of filters for the xml (just noticed this!), thanks. Will have a look at it. I very much prefer to clean up the xmltv file. Feels like the snappier way to go!

deserialize error

hi,

this error happens when you add all tv channels (or categories) to a recording rule. I think that there are simple too many entries.

Is it also possible to exclude something from the recording rule? Like description contains Bruce Willis and title not containing Die Hard (just an example - i like the die hard movies). Or to record on every channel except for these channels.

Could I ask if this scheduler wakes up the pc (for recordings) when it was set to stand by (or hibernate) manually? I have been looking for a scheduler plugin to do this but have had not luck till now.

 

[chrisonline]

MP itself wake up the pc from hibernate/standby to record something.
And alos the TVScheduler does this because he use the Recording Table of MP.

 

[JohnFish]

So how is it that you can do that? Could you provide some information please. Thanks
