Web interface

[KingArgyle]

Well, I'm willing to try and take on some of these wish list requests for you Sub. TheDocWat, let me know what you are working on so I don't stomp on your stuff. Or if you want to team up on this.

Can't guarantee a time frame, but I've already have some general functions written to handle some of the requests:

Here are the backend functions I have coded, no web ui interface to these yet:

1. Search for Episode by Keyword. Brings back all Episodes in the TV Guide that have have the keyword in the Title. So if you wanted Star Trek, it would return Star Trek, Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: Deep Space 9, etc.

2. List all guide data for a 24 hour period for a specific channel. Pass it a channel, and it returns you the guide data for the next 24 hours.

3. List Scheduled Recordings includes Quality setting of the recording, could easily be made to show the Padding as well.

functions in the works:
a. Schedule a Recording at a specific Quality Setting.
b. Schedule by Keyword - Find everything in the guide that has a certain Keyword, and schedule it.

I'm pretty busy right now, but I want to use this a learning tool for C#/ASP.NET (already know Java/JSP/J2EE) development. So, no guarantees on time frame when any of this will be done. I want to implement the Keyword Search and Scheduling soon though.

King Argyle,

Sounds good. You are already way ahead of any thing that I've done. (I've only started playing around with the 24 hour/channel view). Let me know if there are specific pieces where I could be of help (this too is a learning exercize for me).

Thanks,
thedocwat

Well, I'm pretty comfortable with the backend code, haven't messed around with the ASPX front-end UI stuff to much. I'll probably take a quick stab at some pages, and get some functional pages, but I know they'll need cleanup and polishing.

Let me see what I can get going here, and I'll forward what I have to you in hopefully a couple of days.

Actually, the GB-PVR UI does show the program title, it's just the web interface which does not. (I'm talking about the program title, not sub-title.)
