CDK Scheduler

[KingArgyle]

So, with the talk about 1.0.8, and now that GBPVR has the built in ability to adjust the priority of recordings. Is there still the need for CDK Scheduler?

If so, why? I personally probably won't upgrade my GBPVR unless I buy new recording hardware, which won't happen for a while. With that said, I'm open for new possibilities or putting to pasture CDK. I'm leaving the decision up to the community.

Even if the functionality in gbpvr was exactly the same I'd still choose the open source option so I can fix bugs or tweak it myself.

One item I still would like to do is refactor the code so that it uses an Interface structure, so that it could be implemented on any particular PVR system, not just GBPVR. Lots of hard coding specific to GBPVR at the moment.

I've been working with Eclipse a lot lately, and it's underlying plugin architecture is amazing. Anyways, I don't see CDK going away anytime soon, but the original need has been lessoned by GBPVR supporting priority recording internally.

I have a few things set to look for a certian name in the description.
also have a few shows typed in that do not air on any channels I get, but once they do, I will have them recorded.

I find the requirment to type in the show name with the mouse to be annoying.
if you could type it in with the keyboard, it would be much better.

where's all that talk about the priority system? i saw stuff in config but wasn't sure how it is utilized..

edit: ahhh,found it...in last version's changelog..

CDK scheduler is all I use. It has way more functionality than just priority.

1. I can type in a pattern to search for, IE "Law and Order"
2. I can type in program names instead of being forced to select from guide
3. Suspend record of individual programs
...and more.

The only reason I use the built in recordings is for control over the number of kept programs, but out of 20 or so shows we record I only use it on 3.

Does anyone know if xsuite and cdk still fully work with pvrx2, minus the extra feature set of pvrx2 of course? And if it will continue to work with schedules direct?

works for me, I use pvrx2 and schedulesdirect.

for some reason, it didnt work at first, but on a whim I reinstalled xsuite and it started working again.

You can get complete control over how many recordings are maintained if you don't mind editing an XML file. Take a look at MaxRecordings. It may or may not still work with 1.0.x series. I'm still on a year old version of GBPVR due to a hardware card that isn't officially supported anymore.

I believe the source is included.

Thanks for the link. I had seen that before and forgot about it. I put that on last night and set it up and took those three programs out of the native scheduler. Doesn't work with the new 1.0 series though, looks to me like it's still looking for the MDB file. Unfortunately I'm not a programmer or I'd fix it or help you add that to the Xrecord suite.

I have 1.0.16 & can't figure out how to prioritize - seems like priority the order the recordings are entered...
