Add ReOccuring Recordings:
This is a small utility that will read in a file called Reoccur.txt. This file contains a list of Phrases to search the Episode Guide database, and add any occurence of the phrase to the
GBPVR scheduler. Each phrase needs to be on it's own line. For example, to add to the scheduler every episode in the guide that contains Sylvester Stallone, you would put in the Reoccur.txt file:
Sylvester Stallone
The program will then search episode Titles and Descriptions. If either of these has this exact Phrase then it will be added to the scheduler. If an episode is already in the scheduler it will not be
re-added.
This currently will search a max of 30 days out from the current date that the program is run.
Reoccurr.txt must be in the GBPVR directory, as well as AddReOccuring.
A log file is generated by AddReOccuring every time it runs. Also, any Console activity may be redirected to a file with the following command:
AddReoccuring > filesadded.txt
This program has been tested with GBPVR 0.238 but should work with at least version 0.22.
You can either run this manually, create a Windows Scheduled Task, or add it to the PostUpdateEPG.bat file. You may add as many phrases as you want to the ReOccur.txt. You'll want to keep an eye on your scheduled recordings, as the list can start to grow pretty quickly.
Source code for the application is included.
