xrecord scheduler

[ydekmekji]

Below is my priorityrecordings.xml file. It was generated after i entered the information on GBPVR. I have the latest xrecord plugin. So after updateepg ran, same problem: Every Single Episode on Channel 2 (the first channel on my EPG) was slated to record. It just put everything into pending--so again, you can imagine it is a pain in the a** to go through and delete each one. If anyone knows what i'm doing wrong, please let me know. Below is my file:

I would love if you want to help test the CDK sked.

I can even walk you through creating a test enviornment so you do not mess with your main GBPVR DB.

Questions:
Did you get the latest priorityrecording from wiki (updated version from XRecord)?
If so, would you be willing to send me your log and priority file (and possible FTP me your DB - I can provide you with an ID and PWD).
I also want to warn everyone about the scheduler... although I have made several changes to the scheduler I'd imagine that there are some show stoppers. I run through over 50 test scenerious and everything looks good. However, there are far to many parameters for me to test. I will let everyone know when the CDK scheduler is prime time. I think we are close but not there yet. FYI: I know KingArgyle as well as myself use the CDK scheduler in production.

I'm up for being a tester--but just to warn you, i'm not as computer savvy as the rest of you!

I just ran your file against my test system using the most current version of the CDK Scheduler. Make sure your RecordingUtils.dll file is date 2/22/2005 and the PriorityRecordings.exe file is dated 2/22/2005. When I ran it here are the results I received:

I checked and the Search Criteria found these shows on different channels and recorded them correctly.

Even if you are using XRecord v16 or above you should be using the most current version of CDKScheduler (2/22/2005) or newer with it.

BTW, Nice tuning on the code, JRock. It runs much quicker.

Thanks King, you did all of the heavy lifting on this scheduler.

I'm not happy with the &quot; has 7 potential recording(s).&quot;

But I will fix shortly.

Cool and thanks.

This goes for anyone willing to help.

I think the best thing to do is to setup the priorityrecording file to exactly what you want.

I know it is very difficult to do. If you can take a first crack at the priorityrecording file and run the program that would be great.

If you need help, I can walk you through the process or create the file for you with your settings -- send me the shows name, time, channel - and any other &quot;special&quot; consideration you would like.

My biggest concerns are international issues (I'm for the US)- I changes my OS to german and tested the code- it works- but I'm sure there are issues.

Everyone be warned... I plan to make some minor changes to make this easier to fill out by hand and in XRecord.

Of course, I will enlist KingArgyle with help on the schema
