Xrecord & Schedule

[ydekmekji]

Hey, just curious to see if anyone has had success with the schedule function in xrecord. I'm still at a loss with it

Thanks!

What are you trying to do? Where are you having problems. Maybe Jorm, Jrock, or I can answer your questions.

I know that a new version of XRecord is in the works that will simplify the management and setting up of the recordings for the scheduler.

I will try to release it in a day or so.

take a look at my file... why is it messed up looking for 'denzel washington'?

I added what KingArgyle put, and it worked--though i want just newer episodes, so i hope that if i tweaked that one setting it still works.

Then I added a few more (through xrecord), and the next thing i know, it pretty much pended to record every show in every slot in one of the channels. that was not a fun way of spending 10 minutes deleting them all one by one.

Do i have to manually edit the priorityrecording file to make this work?

I have deleted everything and added (in xrecord) 'denzel washington'. the results this time were the exact same, every d*m show in one of station recorded for the entire week. please help

below is my priorityrecordingfile:

I will take a look at this.

I just want to make sure that I understand the problem-

All shows on channel 11 - the channel with Denzel - are getting recorded with you priority file?

I won't be able to get to this untill the weekend, I'm out of town on business.

[KingArgyle]

Two problems I see here.

1. You have two recordings with the same priority. They need to be different priorities.

2. Make denzel washington, Denzel Washington. There is a bug in XRecord v16 where it puts everything in as lower case.

Next version of XRecord should take care of both of these bugs.

[ydekmekji]

i assume that the case of the letters matters when it's doing its query? I'll change the priorities. i hope that works.

What it was doing is recording every show on the first channel (for me it's channel 2).

[KingArgyle]

You want to make the same change for the ProgramName element as well. Change your newlyweds to Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica

I have updated the CDK scheduler - now does multiple capture sources and fixes the lost/west wing problem).

I ran your priority file through the new scheduler and it went perfectly (i fixed the lcase issue in your file).

The new scheduler should be out shortly.
