A new scheduler is posted on wiki.

I made alot of changes.

New features:
AdjustStartTime, AdjustEndTime - The Lost/West Wing problem (damn J.J. ending lost at 9:01)
Multiple Caputure sources.

This is a work in progress... this is a very difficult process. There are tons of features therefor complexities and points of failure.

I need help to debug this. It works great for me and the severl test that I have done. But i'm limited in my time and resources. I need a non-us guy and a few others.

My top 3 goals:
1. Simplfy that creation of the XML file (with the help of Jorm in Xrecord). I would like to have an easy to use version and a advanced version. The goal of the easy to version is for it to be as easy to do use as the base scheduler.
2. Fix any bugs that you might have. Please help me. All I ask is for you to run the scheduler based on your preferences. If you hit a bug, give me you priorityrecording.xml file and log. If need be I might ask you to post you DB to my FTP server.
3. Better and more detail in the log. Sorry, I did not have the time to put the extra search information in the log.

Sub, I have a PVR150 and have a Sky NZ Motorola decoder. I can't seem to find a code that will work with the IR Blaster. I have tried running through them all. Do you have any suggestions? Also, just a note for other PVR150 users, I had to grind out a little of my case by the slot for my PVR150 card as the IR blaster plug wasn't going in all the way. Now it is fine, but I just need the right code! I hope the Motorola decoder (older type with the Sky card that slots into the side of the case)

Re-hashing the problem from the old conflict bug, which is as follows (in a nutshell):

Manually update the EPG in the config, conflicts show up (which also re-starts the recording service).
Let GB-PVR do it iself in the 3-4AM update, the conflicts never show up.

This is with the Zap2It configuration not XMLTV.

Now I've stumbled on a NEW conflict bug.

You have a program that conflicts with a season record program. You cancel the season record for that program. The conflict still remains in the conflict list, but when you choose "resolve" there's nothing TO resolve, and your only option is "make no changes leave conflict in place". Updating the EPG manually DOES NOT fix this problem!!

One of our TV channels recently changed their name, and as such it threw the TV listings off (there's no more listings for the channel that "doesn't exist" anymore). I deleted the recording source and am attempting to set it up again, after I do this all my recordings are GONE! I have a backup of my MDB from the 14th, but that just puts back the wrong channel again. Is there a way I can fix this channel or am I screwed?

Since the MVP carries the live signal to the TV anyway (is that right?), is there any reason to get a 350 instead of a 250?

A few weeks ago, I set GBPVR to record Jimmy Kimmel live just once. Now, each night, I get a blank directory labeled Jimmy Kimmel Live, in my video folder. It's not shown to record anywhere. How can I remove this.

Thanks

Has anyone else been having problems with the skip function in the last two versions? I have the skip set to skip forwards or backwards 10 seconds with a button press but when the skip backwards button is pressed it often skips forward a second or two and I'm not confident that the number + skip is going in the right direction by the right amount consistently.

My Hauppauge winTV USB2 card is hardware encoding my TV shows and I have no problem what so ever to play them. Works great.

However, when I try to re-code them to xvid for playing on my cell using the software from Lonely Cat I get an error that the file can't be read. I thought it was a limitation in that software, but now I'm trying to re-encode using Transcoder on my freeBSD server, same result.

Is there something strange going on in the files that Hauppauge generates?

I have been repeatedly getting this error lately.  Every once in a while I'll find my computer more or less frozen.  Standard opp for this is to shutdown and restart.  Well, this is where this error keeps coming up.  After I command a shut down a few of the normal things happen and then this error pops up.  In the title bar it says "Gbpvr.exe - DLL Initialization Failed" and in the window it has the red circular 'X' with "The application failed to initialize because the windows station is shutting down" written next to it.  This window keeps coming back when closed and because of this my machine won't fully shut down with out turning it off on the front of the console (ie the way your not supposed to do it).  So I do it because it is the only option I have found to get around this, it reboots and all is well.  

After a while of observing this happening I am 99% sure this is related to gbpvr waking my machine from standby which it is set to go into after 2 hrs. of idle.  I say this because it only seems to happen on days where I have a recording scheduled for when I'm not arround, so my computer is likely to be in standby when it starts.  It is also worth noting, that other than this my machine is VERY stable.  I think I may of had to shut it down the wrong way once other than this over the two years I've had it.  

See sig for setup, here is a copy of my gbpvr.exe.log that was taken just after a reboot as described.  If this isn't the log you need, or if you need anything else to help with this one, just let me know...I would love to get this taken care of!!

Thanks for any help you can offer!!

After creating PriorityRecordings.xml and running PriorityRecording.exe i'm getting this:

Done.

There seems to be a lot of programs to schedule - but nothing gets done. And you can't see the program name?. It kills me because it really would make a great add on to gbpvr.

One thing I don't understand - if you have made scheduling and edit the xml-file to exclude a recording - will it remove the former recording or do you have to do "Empty EPG"?
