    Hi Guys,

    Can anyone help me?
    What must I do to start a plugin with the TaskScheduler?

    Following things are important:
    1. Check the interface's documentation in code file
    2. This is currently the only place where we use it in server, to schedule MediaLibrary imports: https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi...aManagement/ImporterWorkerNewGen.cs#L524-L559
    3. The scheduler itself does not execute procedures, it only sends messages for due events. The plugin has to listen for those message: https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi...aManagement/ImporterWorkerNewGen.cs#L417-L445

    If you plan own imports you can use this service.

    Just guessing, if you look for a way how to store other content in the media library (Web radio channels, cinema+programs...):
    you might consider to use the existing refresh job and add own:
    • MediaItemAspects (store data in DB)
    • MetadataExtractor (extract or collect them from remote source)
    • ResourceProvider/Accessor (provide the "raw" access to the remote source)
    Then in principle you only need to add a custom media source which will be imported in each night run.

    I will test it again. But that's what I've tried the last days.
    I could see the start of the task, but the plugin did not get any message.
    However, I have registered as TaskId the id of the update module. :eek:

    OK. I will test it again.

    Thanks for your Help. (y)

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters.

    There seem to be several errors shown in the log: (1) There are many lines that say Invalid year for OnAirDate. This suggests that either the web site is sending invalid data, or that the format of the data has changed and the TvMovieEPG Importer is misinterpreting it. (2) There is also this error, but I don't know what it means...
