Well i didn't really get what the problem with the recordingfolder is, mainly because the behaviour of the tvbusinesslayer isn't very well documented but ma be you can give me a hint

Another point is whether you know what the difference between schedule.Cancel() and schedule.Remove() is - however the solution with scheduleId will be implemented

The name of the recording is built in this way: recording folder for tuner + directory property of schedule + configured recording name. The existence check only checks for the existence of the directory component, which isn't a full path but only a component. Also, the TvEngine automatically creates the directory if it doesn't exists, so a non-existent directory is nothing to worry about.

I looked into the source and now I know ;-) Sorry, I'm not that much into the MediaPortal inner workings, I got the .Remove() from the source of MPWebServices which worked fine for me.

Your explanation of the Directory Property leads me to think that it's not possible to changed the basic recording folder(per schedule), am i right here?

I looked into the source and now I know ;-)

And what is it? Because currently the Cancel method is used and i don't want to use two different methods without knowing what the difference is

Yes, you're right.

Sorry, I misunderstood your reaction and thought you already knew the difference. Anyway, it's a bit complicated:
* The Schedule.Delete() method deletes the schedule from the Schedule table, all matcing schedules from the CanceledSchedule table and all matching conflicts from the Conflicts table.
* The Schedule.Remove() method just deletes from the Schedule table
* The CanceledSchedule.Persist() method creates an entry in the CanceledSchedule table, but doesn't seem to remove from the Schedule table.
* The Schedule table holds all active schedules
* The Conflicts table holds all times when two schedules conflicted (i.e. trying recording two different channels on the same card that doesn't support that).
* The CanceledSchedule table holds all schedules that are canceled by a user (not deleted, but canceled, for example because he wants to watch something else or he already saw that episode of a serie).

The SetupTv application and MediaPortal both use the Schedule.Delete() method, so I think we should follow that. Note though that I just got this from a quick look at the code, so if you want to be really sure you should ask a MP dev.

Thanks for your advise. So i will add your patches to the tfs and modify the current CancelSchedule method and make the naming a bit more consistent.

Now since a long time the first greater Update is coming

We've implemented:
multiuser setup
json interface
some changes in the basic classes
and some other small things

hope you like it
The new installer is in the first post

big Mike & Alex

just a small issue to report: Stopping the active Timeshift is not working, even with the correct Username.

 

[Mike Lowrey]

Yes that's a known bug. The problem is we only call the tvserver method, so their must be an issue with the tve which have to be checked...
