TV Server Plugin: TvWishList (3 Viewers)

[foxbenw]

Hi
Sorry, I think I may not have explained myself very well.

My suggestions came around because of these thoughts:
I have found that what I would like to do is set different duplicate searching rules for each wishlist.
For example, on one wishlist I would like to check season/episode number only when searching the recordings table for duplicates. On another I would like to check just the episode name. On another I would like to check channel group.

If channel group was used as part of a duplication check, I would be able to replace my SD recordings with HD recordings as they aired. The duplicate checker would see that I have already recorded, for example, The Big Bang Theory.S01E12.The Jerusalem Duality. But it would also see that I have not recorded it in the HD channel group, and if an HD version came into the EPG it would schedule it.

Hence I was suggesting that the selected fields for duplicate checking move to the wishlist table, rather than being global settings for the plugin. Then each one could be checked in a different way.

As for a 'preferred' group, sure, that'd be useful, but the ordering of wishlists seems to work fine too.

foxbenw,
thanks for explaining - now i understand your thaughts. I need to think about this more. I am worried that i am driving too much complexity into the plugin and the item list is just becoming too large for the default users.

Attached i have a new test version 1.2.0.18 not fully tested yet!
I have done a major change in the code structure, so i will depend again on all of you on detailed testing. Especially the bug fix on episode numbers and names i do need help, as my EPG data do not show them. Also the EPG repeated marker in the settings need to be tested by someone.
I have now for each tvwish separate counters and messages(results) for schedules, recordings (not tested yet), deleted recordings (not tested yet) , views, emails and conflicts.
Please note that the messages do belong to one single tvwish only. If you delete the tvwish all messages belonging to the tvwish will be deleted, too.
The messages for a deleted recording will only be saved if the recording has been created with Tvwishlist.

Have fun, huha

huha,

I would love to be able to test whether the EPG repeated marker works - but I have been unable to find a way of getting this into the EPG data. Is there anyone in the UK who is doing this? Please let me know how. I am getting from this thread and post (https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/xmltv-137/better-xmltv-epg-support-86654/#post794427) that it can't be done because the info cannot be put into the database. But I would love to be wrong.

netexplorer, i will update the manual wiht the next release. thanks for posting!

For all,
the recording and deleted counters and the processing are not working yet. i will focus on that next.
The scheduling, emailing , conflicts and viewing seems to work as expected.

Hey huha, have a look at this...

I think its a problem from your site. Is it the ?

 

[chrik]

Is it possible to use this plugin to record everything on one Channel everyday from 18-24?. I might want to buy more tuners and record all from 18-24 on my 4 favourite channels.

chrik, it should work with a sql query for
matchtype= expression
searchfor= (idchannel=4567)
you need to find the correct idchannel number first from the tvserver setup
aftertime=18:00
beforetime=23:59
skiprepeated= false

d3ltoroxp, i am working on fixing the installer issue. This was a big finding and i hope it will now go a lot simpler for me in the future.

Thank you i just tested and it is working. Now i just need the money to buy a quad tbs tuner card

testversion 1.2.0.19

Team,
I am prereleasing 1.2.0.19 which was mainly focused on stability and user improvements. I have done a new menu for the View Result Window when clicking at a single item.
You can delete recordings from here and a message will be saved marking this file as deleted, so that it will not be scheduled again if this option is checked in the tvserver configuration settings.
If you get too many messages on the view results window you can use the filter and sort options for ordering
The counters should be working now and I will spend more time on testing.
I did not succeed to get the usefolder option for names to work with comskip. This is still on my list.
I am planning to update the manual and to fix my installer issues till next week and hope to do an official release at the next week end.
As always I am asking for help on testing. After the next release i am planning a programming break till Xmas as i spent way too much time on the plugin. Please understand that new features will be delayed then.
The effort was 3 x to what i estimated in the beginning, but i guess that I am not the first one experiencing that
I am quite happy now with the result and hope that the plugin will be useful for many users.
have fun,
huha
