External Recording Manger Helper Classes

[KingArgyle]

Just wanted to toss this out to those developing actual GBPVR plugins. I'm going to implement a set of Helper classes for the External Recording Manager so that the manipulation of the XML file will be easier. Here is what I'm thinking of:

1. getPriorityRecording
2. setPriorityRecording
3. sortPriorities
4. savePriorities
5. loadPriorities
6. createPriorityRecording
7. removePriorityRecording

What I need from people developing Recording Managers (i.e. XRecord, Video Archiver, and My Video) are what is going to be most useful for you.

I had thought about implementing the IScheduleHelper class, the structure is a bit different and some of the features you would need aren't there in that class. I could always extend that implementation and add the missing features.


What features do you need to make as little impact to you as possible. I'd like to keep as much physical management away from you as possible, that way if I change the underlying structure you aren't affected.

The helper class would be great.

Those apis would be great. Let me know when they are in place and I will tie it to xrecord.

I know jrock is working on this now.

Jorm, sent you a copy of a PriorityRecordings.xml file that contains a vast number of the features in use. The helper class was never formulaly implemented. I started working on it, but then the new job came into the picture and I haven't touched it since. You should be able to find a vast majority of the interfaces you need in the RecordingUtils.dll. If you run into problems, let Jrock or I know.
