[QUOTE="dvdfreak, post: 285344, member: 21313"] I certainly didn't mean to offend, with reliable I meant [b]For The Record[/b] will still correctly record a program even when the show's beginning and/or end-times move (as long as your guide data itself it correctly updated of course), or when there's a conflict to be handled (good priority support). Stuff like that. The actual recording is indeed still handled by TV Server itself, and we're all indeed happy that it has been doing this very reliably! Well, the work itself isn't actually based on open-source code, it has all been developed from scratch :) But it does hook into open-source products like TV Server and MediaPortal, that's a fact :) Well, I lie: the MediaPortal GUI plugin is based on the open-source TV Plugin from TV Server. And we will be making this open-source too actually. As well as all the source code to all our recorder/tuners, like the TV Server recorder/tuner. Currently only the API to [b]For The Record[/b] in on the site, but the source code will follow soon and if someone really wants it like [i]today[/i] I'll be happy to zip something up and send it to him or her by PM. Well, yes, it's exactly these things and stuff like missing priority support and very confusing conflict management in MP that led to the development of [b]For The Record[/b]. And of course I'm very biased in this matter: but it does all these things a [u]whole[/u] lot better if you ask me ;) I'm from Belgium myself and programs' starting times are far from constant here, so MP's built-in scheduling was fairly useless to me unless you used "Always on this channel" which didn't help out in many cases due to all repeats being recorded as well then. So it's all a matter of whether these things mean enough to you to warrant an extra installation. [/QUOTE]
