NextEnd v5 trial release

[VCR58]

I think I requested PGA events to be monitored by NextEnd a few years ago but really haven't watched or recorded much golf on TV.

It would be ok with me if you dropped PGA. If I really want to be sure to see the end of a tournament I can just manually extend it an hour or two. NextEnd works great for most everything else it monitors though.

Right now the issue is it doesn't appear to be on the ESPN tracker https://www.espn.com/ I will check the Byron Nelson this weekend and if it is not tracked I will remove it.

So I checked and monitoring is working for this weekend's event, so I think I will wait for Sunday to see what happens on CBS specifically what happens at 6pm if the API says it isn't finished. With golf they don't always wait for all golfers to finish either.

Code:

I forgot to monitor things on Sunday, Brett/Alan did either of you run a Sunday monitor?

Seems the NASCAR Coka-Cola 600 isn't being extended. It's currently in rain delay but NextEnd log says it didn't start.

Code:

2024-05-26 21:10:15.058 [DEBUG][1] LivePvrData.Data.Net.Responses.StatusResponse [Title=NASCAR Racing, Status=Start Delay, IsValid=True, IsActive=False, IsComplete=False, IsError=False, ] 2024-05-26 21:10:15.058 [DEBUG][1] Sports event monitor did not start 2024-05-26 21:10:15.058 [DEBUG][1] Monitor status = none

Hopefully it will finish tonight.

It is normal for NextEnd to stop monitoring if the event hasn't started (based on the API) when it does its first check. I supposed I could just let it check until the end of the race.

If you cancel the recording while it is still "live" you can sometimes avoid this, the API is showing In-progress now but it is no longer live.

Ok thanks.

Turns out they called the race and declared the winner due to weather.

Game detected the end at 20:55 and the recording was immediately ended.  Based on the cmd args I'm passing, I was expecting an extra 10 mins to be added to the end of the recording.  Am I misunderstanding what the --postgame flag is supposed to do?  Is there a way to get an extra 10 mins recorded at the end of games?

[mvallevand]

It's mainly a design thing. The way early is supposed to to work is it cancels immediately when the API says the game is over and the other parameters are ignored. I figure if you want commentary you would just use cancel since the talking heads will try and fill up the rest of the broadcast time, so why limit it. Cancel will kill the post padding though unless post game is used and preempt is not enabled
