recording title from tvserver (1 Viewer)

[lar282]

Hi
trying to write a TV server plugin that just GETS the title of the recorded show when it just starting to record. How do I get the title?
The below code bails on Log.Wri.. so I am missing something but what?

void events_OnTvServerEvent(object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)
{
TvServerEventArgs tvEvent = (TvServerEventArgs)eventArgs;
switch (tvEvent.EventType)
{

///RecordingStarted is called when the recording is started
case TvServerEventType.RecordingStarted:
Log.WriteFile("DEBUG:rec started:" + tvEvent.Recording.Title);
break;

}


}

Use
Log.Debug("foobar");

Also note, that some stuff has been ripped out of the core to the utils project.

well, i get an exeption on the recording part.the Log. part is just an example.
I am not very good at programming and wondering if u could give example on how to defibe the recording class. I tried to look in the plugins that exist in the server bu none uses any recording info

regards

LAsse

anybody?

Ok log says this:
2007-01-12 15:23:46 True
2007-01-12 15:23:46 1D:\recorded_tv\Angel 12 1 2007 15_10.mpg
2007-01-12 15:23:46 DEBUG:rec started:BAILEDSystem.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at TvEngine.Test.events_OnTvServerEvent(Object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)


and the code now looks like this:
case TvServerEventType.RecordingStarted:
Log.WriteFile("DEBUG:rec RecordingStarted:");

try
{
Recording recording = tvEvent.Recording as Recording; //fine
Log.Write(tvEvent.Card.IsRecording.ToString()); //fine
Log.Write(tvEvent.Card.Id.ToString() + tvEvent.Card.RecordingFileName); //fine
Log.Write("DEBUG:rec started:" + recording.Title); //BAILS

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Log.WriteFile("DEBUG:rec started:BAILED" + ex);

}


Its gotta be something simple that I did wrong, but what?

//Lasse

My SVN download is a few week old but...

Try using the Schedule and not the Recording
and pull the title from Schedule.ProgramName.

Here is the code firing the event, the Recording is set to null, but the schedule is passed in.

_tvController.Fire(this, new TvServerEventArgs(TvServerEventType.StartRecording, new VirtualCard(cardInfo.Id), user, recording.Schedule, null));

HTH,
patrick

The tvEvent.Schedule is the one you want.
Schedule:
contains the information like channel, title, start/end time of each show you
scheduled to record.

Recording
Will be created when a recording has finished.
It contains all information about programs which were recorded in the past

thank u all for the replies.
I just thought it would work since there was a
tvEvent.Recording.Title


Me wrong....

Thanks again
