Better conflict resolution

[rykr]

I am not certain how much of GB-PVR is open source (if any) however I would be more than happy to help work on this feature. I am a .NET developer and have been a C++ developer for over 15 years so I know I can contribute.

Anyway, I noticed that GB-PVR and Media Center have less than optimal conflict resolution. For example, if I have a 1 hour show scheduled to record on channel 2 and I then select a 2 hour show at the same time on channel 3 (in a 1 tuner system), I am told that they conflict and the only options I am given are to cancel show 1 or not record show 2 at all.

I should be able to specify which show to record the first hour and have the second hour of show 2 recorded. This can be useful, for example, when I am trying to record the last part of a sporting event. I don't care that I can't record all of it, but record all that is possible.

You might want to take a look at the CDK Scheduler. It'll take care of at least one of your problems, which is specifying priorities for recordings. Look on the Wiki, and you should be able to find it there. Also, take a look in the Community Forum, and you should find a couple of threads discussing the CDK Scheduler.

Well I tried to follow the directions. I now have XRecord working and I can successfully go to the scheduling button in XRecord. However, I dont' see any way to put items in the schedule. I sure as #### am not going to hand edit priorityrecordings.xml every time I want to add a recording to my schedule. :-)
