Getting reoccurring extras info

[fla]

Calling ScheduleHelper.SheduleRecording with type TYPE_RECORD_WEEKLY seems to ignore the maxFiles argument. I worked around by using TYPE_RECORD_SEASON with a dayMask but then I need to be able to read back the dayMask.

Is there an API to query the REOCCURING_EXTRAS table specifically the max_files and day_mask fields? I can see a ReoccuringRecordingExtras class but what call gives me an instance of that class for a specific recording?

Thanks.

The max_files and day_mask settings only apply to season recordings, or at least that was my intention, so those settings are only applied for TYPE_RECORD_SEASON.

Ok. Then how can I ask a scheduled recording what its dayMask is? I need that so when I display reoccurring recordings I can distinguish the ones that are weekly. I used to rely on the type being TYPE_RECORD_WEEKLY but now they are TYPE_RECORD_SEASON with a dayMask.

Thanks.

These are entirely different types of recordings, and cant be used for the same thing.

TYPE_RECORD_WEEKLY is a manual recording, and has a start and end time.

TYPE_RECORD_SEASON has a show name used for matching shows. It can also have a start/end time of the scheduling window, but this is only used to further narrow down the search for shows with the correct name.

Great, so by switching to TYPE_RECORD_SEASON I'm fixing a bug from the original XSuite author who was using TYPE_RECORD_WEEKLY in the wrong situation.

So how can I see if there's a dayMask on an existing scheduled recording? XSuite display's type as "Record Season (this timeslot and channel)" or "Record Season (weekly, timeslot and channel)" and only the dayMask distinguishes these two TYPE_RECORD_SEASON.

Unfortunately the SchedulerHelper API doesnt expose this info currently. You'd probably have to look directly in the database to check it.

Got it. Thanks for all the info.
