NPVR Command Line Scheduler?

[sub]

Ah, I think I know why this happened. Give this a go.

You should be in with the other executables. ie c:\program files\npvr.

Sweet! That worked on the first attempt

Any chance the scheduler can create a folder of the program name instead of bunging it into 'Manual Recordings'?

Ah, just killed my live TV when the manual recording finished - have frozen image on screen and saw the second tuner drop-out but the first still claims Live TV.

Looking good though - many thanks for your efforts.

Great.

I'll try to add an option to do that for the next NPVR release.

Brilliant! Thanks again Sub, I feel another donation coming on...

Second test closed fine without affecting LiveTV.

No, its a work-in-progress. Takes a few days for them to verify things before my account will be reenabled.

...it'd be pretty easy for someone to create one using the ScheduleHelper API.

Where is this documented? Searching I found it mentioned but not the API docs themselves.

There isnt any documentation on it, but the interface is fairly straight forward. The command line scheduler I posted above used the "ScheduledRecording ScheduleRecording(string name, int channelOID, DateTime startTime, DateTime endTime, int prePadding, int postPadding, DayMask dayMask, int keepCount, RecordingQuality quality)" API.

Code:

namespace NUtility
{
    [Flags]
    public enum DayMask { ANY = 255, SUNDAY = 1, MONDAY = 2, TUESDAY = 4, WEDNESDAY = 8, THURSDAY = 16, FRIDAY = 32, SATURDAY = 64 };
    
    public interface IScheduleHelper
    {
        // one-off and one-off associated with parent
        ScheduledRecording ScheduleRecording(EPGEvent epgEvent, RecordingQuality quality);
        ScheduledRecording ScheduleRecording(EPGEvent epgEvent, int prePadding, int postPadding, RecordingQuality quality);
        ScheduledRecording ScheduleRecording(EPGEvent epgEvent, RecurringRecording recurrenceParent);
        ScheduledRecording ScheduleRecording(string name, int channelOID, DateTime startTime, DateTime endTime, int prePadding, int postPadding, RecordingQuality quality);
        
        // creating new recurring recordings        
        ScheduledRecording ScheduleRecording(EPGEvent epgEvent, int prePadding, int postPadding, DayMask dayMask, int keepCount, RecordingQuality quality, bool timeslot);
        ScheduledRecording ScheduleRecording(string name, int channelOID, DateTime startTime, DateTime endTime, int prePadding, int postPadding, DayMask dayMask, int keepCount, RecordingQuality quality);
        ScheduledRecording ScheduleRecording(string name, int channelOID, DateTime startTime, DateTime endTime, int prePadding, int postPadding, DayMask dayMask, int keepCount, RecordingQuality quality, string advancedRules);

        // cancelling
        void DeleteRecording(ScheduledRecording scheduledRecording);
        void CancelRecording(ScheduledRecording scheduledRecording);
        void CancelRecurring(RecurringRecording recurringRecording);

        // server control
        void ReloadSchedule();
        void ReloadSettings();
        string GetServerStatus();
        string GetMultiAvailable(int captureSourceOID);
    }
}

Holy Crap!!!

I've been away from the forum for a very long time (went back to using GB-PVR). I've just tried the scheduler and it works great, thanks so much for your hard work.

In case any one is interested I've attached the scheduling plugin for DigiGuide that I've butchered together. It adds a right click context to the Windows DigiGuide app that allows you to directly schedule recordings into NPVR via the schedule.exe

Once again, thanks for all your help.

Anyone still using this?
I use digiguide and would like to schedule recordings from inside digiguide.
I've added the above program(s) and can get the 'video this program with npvr' option when i right click in digiguide but the nvpr does not get the recordings scheduled ?
Any ideas?
