New recurring recording option

[UncleJohnsBand]

Hmm, doesnt seem to have used a timeslot here. Its definitely picked up shows in very different parts of the day for me.

Ok..I found a show that had a bunch of different timeslots....and yes....it does appear to be picking them up. So I just need to add some more sql into the advanced rules....i.e. title like and starttime = and endtime =?

What about the non-recording of dup episodes.....could that be something else that could be added as an overide on the method.....didn't GBPVR have a config setting to turn that on and off?

Great.

Yes, though you'd probably need some more sophisticated SQL to break out the 'time' part of the date/time database fields. (sql time() function?)

You cant currently turn it off, but I'll try to make it optional in the next release

Ok...should be able to do the time thing....the searchengine class already deals with the date/time so I should have the sql in there that I can pull from.

I did get the this-time option working for the all channels recurring recording....the rule is:

Code:

string rules = "time(start_time) = time('" + epgevent.StartTime.ToUniversalTime().ToString("HH:mm:ssZ") + "') and time(end_time) = time('" + epgevent.EndTime.ToUniversalTime().ToString("HH:mm:ssZ") + "') and title like '" + epgevent.Title + "%'";

Great.

UJB, let me know when/if this available for Web Services and what I have to pass and I will update SearchLite.

Will do.....it is easy to implement....will be just another setting - i.e. allChannels true/false(default)

Martin....sent you an e-mail with a complete NEWA release that has the new option in the web service interface.

Thanks UJB, the change was too easy and works nicely I used the following, does the allChannels override the timeslot and day or should I set them all for good form?

Code:

case 6:
                    schedSettings.allChannels = true;
                    schedSettings.recordDayInterval = recordDayIntervalType.recordAnyDay;
                    schedSettings.recordTimeInterval = recordTimeIntervalType.recordAnyTimeslot;
                    break;

@sub I think the screen is wrong for All Channels All Episodes, it shows the single time, but the recordings are correctly in any time.

I know - but it's sometimes convenient for me to get people testing things earlier than the next release.

Thanks sub, it works very well. Now I need Alibert to get the same functionality into TV Listings. I assumed that the plugins inherited the alternatives but as this thread has evolved I understand that the change need to be implemented in each plugin.

Thanks,

Plugins always had the ability to do this type of recording, but I'd hadnt done it in my TV Guide, so he wouldnt have replicated the same into his atlernative screen.

Oh thank you for this one. I have been missing something like this for ages. Now I can certainly clean up my recurring schedules quite a bit.
