Message: <blockquote data-quote="dvdfreak" data-source="post: 236605" data-attributes="member: 21313">Here's a sneak preview on the work in progress (if anyone is interested <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />).TV Scheduler is "learning" about recorders and recording card through a pluggable recorder/tuner system.  Here's what happens when you only have one card to record on:[ATTACH]17330[/ATTACH]Notice the small alert icons that tell you when a program is in conflict with another one.  Also note that some of the icons are red, others grey.Programs that have a red icon will still record, but they may have caused a conflict with another program, so that's why the alert icon is there.  A tooltip will tell you what programs are conflicting.Programs that have a grey icon will not record.Now let's plug a second card in the machine and see what the list of upcoming programs looks like:[ATTACH]17332[/ATTACH]Looks much better doesn't it <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />  Only two programs on Sky One fail to record due to a conflict.  Also notice the conflict popup shows both programs that were responsible for the conflict.OK, now it's time to activate the built-in combining of consecutive programs (back-to-back as these are also sometimes called).First, let's go back to using one recording card again:[ATTACH]17331[/ATTACH]Compare this to the very first screenshot and notice we'll be recording more programs this time around, but interestingly enough different programs <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  This is quite logical due to the fact that programs that are shown sooner ar given priority over programs that are shown later.  Note that you still have the schedule's priority itself to override this.Finally, let's look at the upcoming recordings list when you have two recording cards and have also activated the consecutive recordings option:[ATTACH]17333[/ATTACH]Pretty good I'd say <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> Only one program is in conflict and will not be recorded.To manually deal with these conflicts there's two options:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Specifically cancel a program, freeing the slot for another one.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Increase or decrease the priority of a schedule.</li> </ol>I hope this gives a good overview of what will be possible (soon). Feedback, as always, is more than welcome!</blockquote>
