I've had problems getting the schedule function to work. There is an xml file that was missing (priorityrecording.xml) I just created a blank file and called it that, but that didn't seem to take care of the problem. Can anyone help?

Cut and paste the below code into Notepad, and save it in your GBPVR root directory as PriorityRecordings.xml.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
<GBPVR d1p1:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\PriorityRecordings.xsd" xmlns:d1p1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Configuration>
<MissingRecordingPriority>0</MissingRecordingPriority>
<Conflicts>Delete</Conflicts>
</Configuration>
<Recording type="Season" priority="1">
<Channel>4</Channel>
<ProgramName>Days of our Lives</ProgramName>
<RecordingType>All Episodes</RecordingType>
<Quality>Medium</Quality>
<CaptureSource>1</CaptureSource>
</Recording>
</GBPVR>

Make sure you change the value in noNamespaceSchemaLocation to point to the where you have the PriorityRecordings.xsd file.

That should get you started. You can also get more information on the Scheduler by looking in the developers forum under External Recording Manager as well as CDK Scheduler.

Alright, thanks for that. But you know, the only thing that gets pending is Days of Our Lives. I'm trying to add a show, it saves it under the scheduler tab, but when it postupdatesepg, it never picks it up as a show.

What is in your priority recording file...

Feel free to send it to me.

I added what KingArgyle put, and it worked--though i want just newer episodes, so i hope that if i tweaked that one setting it still works.

Then I added a few more (through xrecord), and the next thing i know, it pretty much pended to record every show in every slot in one of the channels. that was not a fun way of spending 10 minutes deleting them all one by one.

Do i have to manually edit the priorityrecording file to make this work?

I have deleted everything and added (in xrecord) 'denzel washington'. the results this time were the exact same, every d*m show in one of station recorded for the entire week. please help

below is my priorityrecordingfile:

&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;?&gt;

&lt;Configuration&gt;
&lt;MissingRecordingPriority&gt;0&lt;/MissingRecordingPriority&gt;
&lt;Conflicts&gt;Delete&lt;/Conflicts&gt;
&lt;DuplicatesAllowed&gt;Yes&lt;/DuplicatesAllowed&gt;
&lt;/Configuration&gt;
&lt;Recording type=&quot;Season&quot; priority=&quot;11&quot;&gt;
