Well, I actually started to do this a year or perhaps even longer ago But my changes were removed from SVN after a while due to problems (which were never explained to me actually).

But this didn't mattter that much because I realized from looking and working on MP's scheduler code that drastic measures and a new approach was required if we wanted to improve it a lot. Check out the start of the TV Scheduler thread where I proposed how to do this with what eventually became For The Record. Unfortunately there was little to no enthusiasm from the developers back then, even though I brought this up several times. So TV Scheduler grew on its own and became For The Record.

Sure it can be a bonus in some cases or to some users, but in For The Record this is switchable per schedule, so we let the user decide what he wants If something went wrong it will be recorded the second rerun, and if nothing went wrong it won't. I'd call this pretty damn useful and handy

[QUOTE="dvdfreak, post: 285372, member: 21313"] Well, I actually started to do this a year or perhaps even longer ago :) But my changes were removed from SVN after a while due to problems (which were never explained to me actually). But this didn't mattter that much because I realized from looking and working on MP's scheduler code that drastic measures and a new approach was required if we wanted to improve it a lot. Check out the start of the TV Scheduler thread where I proposed how to do this with what eventually became [b]For The Record[/b]. Unfortunately there was little to no enthusiasm from the developers back then, even though I brought this up several times. So TV Scheduler grew on its own and became [b]For The Record[/b]. Sure it can be a bonus in some cases or to some users, but in [b]For The Record[/b] this is switchable per schedule, so we let the user decide what he wants :) If something went wrong it will be recorded the second rerun, and if nothing went wrong it won't. I'd call this pretty damn useful and handy ;) [/QUOTE]
