[QUOTE="dvdfreak, post: 199010, member: 21313"] To be honest, this is not on my list at all. The simple reason is that I see TvScheduler as a sub-system that handles everything guide-related, the XMLTV data, the schedules on it, alerts,... and since the last beta the recordings that were made based on those schedules. So what I [I]do[/I] have on my list is a modification of the existing TVPlugin to show the guide data from TvScheduler. And further along the road more modifications to show the upcoming programs from TvScheduler, to edit the schedules from within MediaPortal, etc... Actually, the schedule will show up twice in TVE3 right now :) TvScheduler's rules engine already allows for this actually, but it's not possible from the GUI to create such a schedule. Perhaps I could parse the text that is entered and split it on the ";" charachter? So you would enter "CSI;Vegas". Does that make sense? Linking is easier if you start typing the channel name. The channels will be automatically filtered for you in a dropdown then. A backup is rather hard to do since I link on MediaPortal's internal ID. So if you would recreate the TVE3 database, all channels would get a different ID, and the backup would be useless :( Right now the "Around time" rule together with the "Days of week" is a good way to record a show. But I plan to enhance this since TvScheduler internally keeps track of what episodes have been recorded so it could skip previously recorded episodes automatically. But even when I implement this, this will only work if your guide data contains either an episode title (subtitle) or episode number. I'm lucky since the UK and Belgian data I use has this information. Short answer: no ;) I wouldn't immediately be able to tell the difference between a schedule that's missing or one that has been deleted by the user. Hmmmm... This kinda makes sense, let me think this over... :) Are you sure? There can be a [B]lot[/B] of channels and a [B]lot[/B] of categories. You could end up creating a schedule that records everything ;) And if channels are added, or categories, the list would be incomplete. Unless I do add an "is not" option, but then my first comment applies even more. Or a tooltip perhaps? Good suggestion. Thanks!! And many thanks for the very valuable feedback! I will certainly take action on some of the points you brought up! ----- Thanks, looks like I'll have no problem reproducing this. I'll check this out and obviously fix it. Since the plugin creates actual MediaPortal schedules this question is: what does TVE3 do with a situation like this. So to be honest, I have no idea. I hope it will record schedule 2, and skip schedule 1. Ah, good point, that's a bug in my synchronization code, I'll fix that. Every 30 seconds right now. Thanks! ---- Nothing extensive yet, I had a short talk with tourettes a few weeks ago, but we only briefly talked about some possibilities. Perhaps it's not a bad idea for me to do a posting on what I consider to be a possible and good way to integrate both.... Stay tuned :) ---- I already map guide channels to tv channels internally, so what I need to do is finish the Channels panel in the management console so you can indeed change the mapping if you like, but more importantly for you: edit the channel display-name.
