Conflict Resolution

Before I start programming I just wanted to know if someone else is working on it, or it already exist... Recording Conflict Resolution

Currently, If I schedule two programs and they conflict, I have the choice of killing one of the recordings.

I'd like to have a list of other times the two episodes also play, so then rather then cancelling one of the records, I defer one of them.

I'd have error checking to be sure that I didn't just create another conflict.

I'd probably start out by creating an Access Database front-end to test the logic. Then I could make a VB6 front end. Then I'd beg or grovel to have someone transcode to VB.NET.

Or I might bite the bullet and write an actual plug-in from scratch...

Anyway, I'm asking if it's out there already, because there's nothing worse then busting you butt for something that already exists...

Thanks

Have you seen this:

http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Utility/CDKScheduler

It's available as part of XRecord. This does some of what you suggest but not all. Why not make a wishlist suggestion to the authors?

CDK Scheduler should be do what you want, as if it does come into conflict, it will try and schedule it later in the week. All recordings are based on priority, you have all scheduling options that are available in GBPVR, plus several other finer grain options for tuning your recordings.
