Hi Owlsroost, thanks for your reply,
Yes the conflict checked comes up, however it acts a bit strangely. I tried this on both DVBIP and DVBT (one tuner enabled) -
if have a program (repeating) say scheduled to record at 1100am, and put in a pre record of 3 min, it is ready to go at 10:57am
Then I schedule another program (one off - different dvbt mux) to end recording at 1100am, the conflict checker comes up and if I choose
skip conflicting recording, the only option it comes up with is 'delete entire series'!!! surely this cant be right? I just want to
get rid of the program starting at 1057 on this one occasion. This scenario is exactly what I tried to do yesterday on my real recordings.
Can you check if your conflict checker does this? (related, but slightly OT I know)
Yes soft padding is really great, on the Tivo you can set a global setting (I had 3 min pre, 10 min post) that applies to every recording.
So basically if it can accommodate the pre or post it adds them or if it cant due to conflicts, it ignores them. I think it also did part
usage.. i.e, if a program ends at 10:00 and another starts at 10:05, it does 5 mins post record.
Is the server component in C? I havent done much C (currently using python), but was programming assembly since the 80's so C isnt
particularly difficult.
Cheers,
Divxmaster
