[QUOTE="marmite, post: 194209, member: 48853"] BTW: I think this has a) been mentioned before and b) more of an integration issue, but - IMO TVEngine3/MP/Scheduler - Should be able to co-operate in this situation: [B]Scenario[/B]: i) >=1 client is watching timeshifted/livetv. ii) TVServer3/scheduler has recording item approaching (e.g. 1 minute away) It should also check _during_ this 1 minute window for new client conflicts. iii) There are no free tuner cards available, will need to use a card that a client is currently using or miss recording. [B]Solution[/B]: i) Send a message to all clients informing them of "Recording X will interrupt your viewing" ii) MP Client interprets message and prompts user: a) to ignore ("OK I will be interrupted") (Ideally it would tune into recording automatically when starts) b) to cancel X scheduled recording iii) If any client responds with a) - then ensure that client is picked to be interrupted and signal others waiting that they need not be interrupted. If any client responds with b) - perform remote cancel recording I currently have single-tuner single-seat setup. The lack of this feature 'hits' me quite a lot, I'm watching TV - and it suddently stops - I wonder why - usually scheduled recording is the reason. It would happen a lot less if I had 2 tuners, and I may get, but it occuring less would also mean more confusing when it does occur. (BTW I know there's option for livetv to take priority over schedule - I consider that worse option) This solution could be incrementally implemented, if stage 1 was to only inform clients that scheuled item will interrupt that would be a big improvement IMO. Anyway what do others think? I can wait to be honest, and I think its fantastic you've been working on this. You would have probably got too much feedback early on if you had some integration early on ;) [/QUOTE]
