Hello,
I use Mediaportal now for several years and enjoy to record new movies on Pay TV channels.
I collect these not seen movies and let moving pictures manage my new movies.
For me this is the only method to few good movies on Pay TV, because they repeat the movies very often.
So if you have time to watch a movie, mostly they repeat a movie which you already seen or which you don't want to see, because there are to bad.
In past I spend a lot of time to check the single movies in EPG by look them up manually on IMDB and decide if I want to record them or not.
Now I have implemented a PlugIn which automated this process for me.
I called my PlugIn TVanytime and I want to contribute it for the community, like other did with so many very good PlugIns and ideas.
Description
TVAnytime is a new Mediaportal PlugIn which automatically record new, well rated movies on e.g. Pay TV Channels. The PlugIn is divided in two parts:
1) TVServer
The TVServer part scans the EPG data of selected channels, qualified them and scheduled them automatically to record.
The qualification of the programs runs in this order:
2) Mediaportal
In Mediaportal you can manage all programs by a separate section. Here it is possible to manually reject scheduled movies (e.g. if you already seen it, or you are not interested or mark movies to record if they were not qualified (e.g. the plugin didn't find a rating).
At the beginning of using the PlugIn it will schedule much movies. But with the time it will fill the database with your own information, so that there will be only a few new good movies a week (Pay TV Channels repeat there movies very often).
For now there is only support for Titan Skin.
Here are the meaning of the colors:
TVAnytime.mpe1 for the TVServer
TVAnytimeMP for the Clients
If you don't have an extension installer on the TVServer machine you can copy the TVServerDlls by hand:
- TVAnytime.dll in TVServer Directory in \PlugIns
- TVAnytime.Manager.dll in TVServer Directory

I implemented only Titan Skin Support for now. If someone want to help, e.g. by creating other skin file, language files, etc. it will be very welcome.
There are already some planned feature extensions (like disk quota) and I'm very curious to get some feedback from here.
Please post here if you have problems by using this PlugIn or if you have ideas to improve the advantages.
I also attach the Source if someone is interested.
Bye!

The qualification of the programs runs in this order:
- does the program exceed a minimum durance (to filter out programs between the movies)
- if the Movie was already recorded, or rejected it will be skipped
- if the movie is already scheduled (no matter when in future) or the movie is already recorded by hand it will be skipped
- if the Movie is already existing in MovingPictures it will be skipped.
- next the PlugIn will check if the movie exceeds a minimum rating on IMDB
- optional it can be set a minimum year of release
2) Mediaportal
In Mediaportal you can manage all programs by a separate section. Here it is possible to manually reject scheduled movies (e.g. if you already seen it, or you are not interested or mark movies to record if they were not qualified (e.g. the plugin didn't find a rating).

For now there is only support for Titan Skin.
Here are the meaning of the colors:
- red - program is scheduled
- orange - no IMDB rating or manually set to "manage it later"
- empty - program was rejected (by PlugIn or by hand)
