[QUOTE="vfrvulcan, post: 790533, member: 115365"] Have been using GBPVR/NPVR for years with good results but felt the time was right to look for a 'more polished' client/server setup. Don't get me wrong NPVR and its predecessor GBPVR are very good at what they do but lack in some areas. Installed 1.2.0RC last week and have upgraded to the final release - good work Guys! So, on to the queries... [COLOR="DarkRed"]1) Command line recording/scheduling:[/COLOR] Can't find anything in the documentation/wiki for this. Is it possible? I use DigiGuide as my main TV guide and would like to shedule recordings directly from it rather than look at DigiGuide, load MP, go to spot in guide and select to record. DigiGuide shows me 45 channels and 8 hours on a single display whereas MP shows 10 channels and two hours with defaultwide skin. [COLOR="DarkRed"]2) Scheduled recordings don't always happen:[/COLOR] On a couple of occasions now I've scheduled recordings using the guide within MP but the recordings didn't happen even though no other TV was being watched or recorded. I'm hoping to replicate this again but every time I deliberately sit there and try and make it happen it doesn't! This has not happened since upgrade from 1.2.0RC to Final so possibly a bug-fix in there somewhere. [COLOR="DarkRed"]3) Channel numbers incorrect in client:[/COLOR] Using Freeview here in the UK I have numbered all channels to be the same as the proper Freeview channel numbers (BBC3 on 7 and BBC4 on 9, ITV3 on 10 etc), but looking at the guide in MP (and when changing channels manually during live TV, the client has them as BBC3 on 7, BBC 4 on 8 and ITV 3 on 9. This progresses through the entire line-up so by the time I get to Sky News on Freeview 82 it appears as 34 in MP and Red Button 301 is 35 - any way to correct this behaviour? [COLOR="DarkRed"]4) Lack of System Tray notifications:[/COLOR] It would be nice to have a System Tray icon to denote if any recordings are in progress and when the next recording is due to start (FTR does this but flawed - see next item). Currently, it is unknown if another user has scheduled a program for recording. If there was a systray notification another user could see that the recording had already been scheduled so wouldn't need to set it up. Would also be able to see next scheduled recording time - perhaps to check if time allows for a reboot or to spot if something isn't scheduled. [COLOR="DarkRed"]5) Web based scheduling:[/COLOR] What's the best way to achieve this? Shame there isn't (doesn't appear to be) a web guide/scheduler built-in. I've installed ForTheRecord, and while it works, it has it's own set of problems like the databases aren't integrated so the notifier will only tell me the next recording scheduled using FTR and not by MP, also recordings made via FTR do not show up in RecordedTV. I do like the Android app option though. So, if anyone can give me some pointers to address this little lot it'd be much appreciated! :thx: MTIA Aaron [/QUOTE]
