Getting the list of Scheduled Recordings

[doogle]

I'm trying to write a plugin that displays the next 2 scheduled recordings on my HTPC's VFD screen, and when one or more of them is running display the percentage completed of the recording[s].
So far I have a small Delphi app which does this by directly reading the gbpvr.mdb, but I'd prefer to do it via a plugin. This app also watches the gbpvr.mdb file and when it changes it refreshes the display.
(it uses events posted to Girder to actually set the VFD via a Girder plugin)

So in essence I need two things.
1. How to get the list of current Scheduled Recordings,
2. What event to listen for so I know the list has changed.

In GBPVRPublic.dll I can see a ScheduledRecording class but can't see how to get the list of them. The IScheduleHelper has a method GetListingsForTimePeriod which returns a IList. What does the IList contain ?
Is this the interface I need, if so which class implements this interface.

Additionally, I wrote a simple plugin to implement IEventNotification to see what events get generated, but I never get any events to tell me the list of scheduled recordings has changed.

Help !!

Hi,

1. How to get the list of current Scheduled Recordings,

Code:

foreach (ScheduledRecording scheduledRecording in ScheduleHelper.getInstance().LoadRecordingSchedule())
{
...
}

2. What event to listen for so I know the list has changed.

I've been searching for such an event, too, but there doesn't seem to exist something appropiate.
As a workaround, I set up a System.IO.FileSystemWatcher object to look for gbpvr.mdb. It can fire an event each time the database changes - then you can handle that, e.g. by refreshing the recording schedule.

Hi,

Code:

foreach (ScheduledRecording scheduledRecording in ScheduleHelper.getInstance().LoadRecordingSchedule())
{
...
}

I've seen references to ScheduledRecording in the doco, supposedly in GBPVR.Backend.Common, but when I look at GBPVR.Backend.Common all I can see is GbpvrException and SkinConfiguration. Can't see any references in the other dlls either.
Where is the ScheduledRecording singleton ??
Am I missing a .net assembly. (using CommonGBPVRUtilities.dll and GBPVRPublic.dll)

When I try the code :
ScheduleHelper scheduleHelper = ScheduleHelper.getInstance();
I get a Type Can Not Be Found error in SharpDevelop for ScheduleHelper.


In the delphi app I wrote I used something similar to System.IO.FileSystemWatcher to track the gbpvr.mdb changes.
Assume I will have to use the same trick.

Thanks

Hi,

the schedulehelper class is in GBPVR.Backend.Common
