[QUOTE="JoeSmith, post: 364862, member: 60415"] i personally think FTR and the TVServer should stay seperated for now. Right now FTR has never crashed or did not record a planned recording on my system. There are a few minor bugs (and the devs are pretty fast in fixing them) but in general it seems to be a fine piece of software (like mp ;-) ). The main problem is that too little people know about FTR, and that for a starter and someone who just wants to test it too many things have to be done. The installation routines are really good now, but i would like to point out some "problems" : -propably too much to read for someone who likes to test, might scare people -maybe you should provide a direkt link to the Ajax stuff, if someone has not installed it, you get a error message while installing (might scare people...) -if possible automate the installation of the additional windows stuff that is needed for the webinterface (again might scare and i even see people fail here) -include an option during the installation process to get all channels and groups from mp, maybe even copy the logo files straight to FTRs logo folder. I think this might be the point where most newcomers struggle. Don't get me wrong, i'm fine with the way FTR is right now, but i do see the problems that people who are new to FTR might have. And these might be the reason they give up on FTR. I personally think that FTR does not get the credit it deserves because it's really fantastic. There are so many great possibilities to plan recordings. I don't wanna sound like a fanboy, but it's in no way compareable to the way i programmed before. Suddenly i have discovered things that i would have never recorded if i was still using MPs own recording system. It's not that MPs system would be bad, but now i can make a list of my favorite actors and ftr shows me the movies they are in. Or i can tell the system to record all episodes of the simpsons, but only the ones that run on mondays and are in the 20-22 timeframe. GREAT!! Maybe it would be possible to integrate FTRs mp plugin directly into the tvplugin or just find a way to let them coexist more naturally (if i remember it correctly the tv plugin is renamed right now) Ok, thats enough for today Joe @infinityloop : If you have the time ... try it [/QUOTE]
