Ok, I was looking for a precompiled binary in your dev repo.

You can also run it from source.

And how do I get this working.... I downloaded MB3 from the main site and installed it on my dev box.... it is all compiled code.... what do I need to do to get this source based code to work with the compiled code?

[Svekke]

Running from source?
For the moment it's not possible to run it from compiled source. Because everything is still in development mode.

[Svekke]

The documentation on swagger gives for every method .... a scheduled recording.
But we have there 4 methods. Can you give a little bit more information about that?

/public/ScheduleService/Delete/{scheduleOID}
--> Delete existing recording? ( Not the pending/in-progess

/public/ScheduleService/CancelRec/{scheduleOID}
--> Cancel only pending/in-progress recording?

/public/ScheduleService/CancelDelRec/{scheduleOID}
--> Cancel/Delete pending/in-progress recording?

/public/ScheduleService/CancelRecurr/{recurrOID}
--> ??

And why is there only a CancelRecurr method and not other methods. Only to delete de scheduled task?

[bgowland]

/public/ScheduleService/Delete/{scheduleOID}
--> Delete existing recording?

Yes. If you look at the npvr.db3 you'll see a SCHEDULED_RECORDING table which contains everything including existing (past) recordings, pending recordings, and recurring (season / series) recordings. Using this method deletes the file and removes the entry from the DB.

/public/ScheduleService/CancelRec/{scheduleOID}
--> Cancel only pending/in-progress recording?

Yes. If the recording is still pending it will be removed from the DB and will never start. If it is in-progress then it will be stopped but the file won't be deleted.

/public/ScheduleService/CancelDelRec/{scheduleOID}
--> Cancel/Delete pending/in-progress recording?

Not sure it should be used for pending recordings - this should be used to stop an in-progress recording and delete the recorded file.

/public/ScheduleService/CancelRecurr/{recurrOID}
--> ??

This basically removes the Recurring recording, i.e., it deletes the "series link" so no further recordings will be made matching the search criteria, e.g., programme name, timeslot etc.

And why is there only a CancelRecurr method and not other methods. Only to delete de scheduled task?

There is an /UpdateRecurr method.

[UncleJohnsBand]

/public/ScheduleService/CancelRecurr/{recurrOID}
--> ??

Also... this method will cancel any pending recordings for the recurring recording (FYI....recurring is synonymous with series recording).

I know it's the series recording.
And of course you delete just a single recording if you don't need it anymore. My mind wasn't thinking about that.

[Svekke]

The multiple recording also doesn't work....
When i check the logs (web & nvpr) doesn't mention something about this error...

[mvallevand]

That is working as designed. When there is a conflict you get the 500 with a schdConflicts record that tells you information on the other recording. Here you couldn't record Dracula because Vermise is scheduled at the same time. The way that NextPVR handles it (whiich I use in xnewa) is it pops up an option to cancel the other recording (Vermise) so you continue.
