I've uploaded a minor update for the recordingservice into the membersarea/beta section. Changes are: integrated enhancements of the hardclasses since last pro release and changes of the plugininterface.

The service comes with 3 plugins.

Quote

ATTENTION
=========
If installed, please first stop the service with the system tray control program and then shutdown the tray control program also, otherwise the update will fail.

Installation:
-------------
Extract the contence of the zip file into the DVBViewer Pro folder. On first installation start installsvc.bat to register the service with windows. If you want to delete the service please run first uninstallsvc.bat. You need for both Administrator rights.

The DVBViewer Recordingservice is a native windows service. It enables you to record programmed timers by the DVBViewer Pro without DVBViewer Pro.


The Files:

- installsvc.bat and uninstallsvc.bat:
Installs and deinstalls the service.

- DVBVservice.exe
The service.


The service is able to start the computer from Standby or Hibernate without taskscheduler, in fact you MUST disable the Taskscheduler in the DVBViewer. The computer will be started 3 minutes before the time to let the devices initialize properly.

Recording works also with no user logged in. You have to use Usermode 0 or 2, if you want to use the Service.

All important settings and programming of the DVBViewer Pro will be used also by the service. All settings and programming have to be done by the DVBViewer Pro.

DVBViewer Plugins are NOT supported.

Use it at your own risk!


Plugins:
---------
3 Plugins are in the package. These plugins are special plugins and are NOT for use with DVB Viewer. DON'T PUT THEM INTO THE DVBVIEWER PLUGIN FOLDER! Keep the folder structure used in the zip.

To install the plugins run regplugs.bat. To uninstall them run unregplugs.bat.

The Plugins in detail:
- epgparser.dll
This Plugin does the epg-data parsing of the data stream from your devices. With each recording this plugin is notified and it gets all needed data, parses the EIT and transmits the parsed data to all interested parties (plugins).

- epgstore.dll
Is equivalent to the DVBViewer EPG datastore. It's able to read and write the EPG.dat and it takes the EPG data from the EPG-Parser Plugin and stores it. Other plugins can query this Plugin for EPG data.

-DVBVweb.dll
This is a cut down version of the webserver for DVB Viewer. It shows EPG data and helps to create/change/delete timers. You need the epg-store plugin for epg-data.
It is enabled automatically and uses as default Port 80/local host (127.0.0.1). You can use the web configuration to change this.

Password and user default to "admin" and "admin" (without the "). All settings are saved in the setup.xml of the DVBViewers (sections "WebUser" and "WebGeneral"). The language files are identical with the ones of the Webserver for DVBViewer and have to be placed into the "Language" folder of the DVBViewer.
The html-templates are NOT identical and should be left in the default folder ("svcweb").

Version info on DVBVservice.exe from the DVBVservice1.3.zip stills says 1.2.0.0.

Regarding EPG-Updater. Is it or will it be possible to update EPG via myXMLTV.exe without the need for DVBViewer to be running at the time of import?

Hello!

I have been using the recordingservice for a while and think it's very good. A feuture that I want is when I have a recording set for safe if I come home late and the recording have started when I come home. Then when I start DVB Viewer, the recordingservice (I think) says that a recording is on and ask if I wan't to end the recording (Yes, No). That I want in this scenario is been able to view the recording from the start. So the dialog should have a three option (Play, Yes, No).

Since there can be several recordings running in the service, this would not be very easy. And the viewer does not know anything about the service or it's state, it is done by the service control plugin and it is designed to work only on startup and shutdown of the viewer.

[redina]

Ok, didn't think of all the guys that can record more than one program at once.

[redina]

Is this function (recordingservice) going in the main product? For me with one card, I have no problem and think it's great.

If you like DVBViewer to do the recordings use DVB Task Scheduler (Members Section) for automatic start up.

Maybe some more options for the service control plugin would be sufficient... I'd like to have something like "Don't borther me, never stop recording and start up".
Ok, that would produce the message "no device available", if the service controls the only device. But since the service got removed from the setup, I think there are not sooo many people that have big troubles with such a message...
Maybe the plugin can even overwrite the message with a hint to the service, but I don't know if that is possible...

Okay, I'm a newbie but I cannot get this thing to work as it should...

This is what happens with Pro & GE -versions:
- I install this plugin as instructed
- I activate this plugin from DVBViewer's plugin -menu
- I open EPG in DVBViewer and pick up some program and click "send to PVR"
- I close the DVBViewer and wait for the program to begin (recservice is up and runnin, I can see it in "services" list)
Result: nothing gets recorded

If I open DVBViewer while the selected program is runnin, DVBViewer starts to record the program from that point.

If I add program to record from Web interface of recservice, it starts to record and it all goes fine.

So basically it feels like the recservice -plugin doesn't notice if I schedule some program from DVBViewer's EPG, why is that?

Edit: I also get an error message which says "Server execution faile." when I click on the DVBCtrl icon with right mouse button and choose "control".

Okay, this is weird. After I slept over the night it started to work

I have now succesfully tested with several recordings.

I have a strange problem after I updated to version 1.3.4 of the recording service. The webinterface is no longer password protected! In the configuration page I can change the password and username and I can see in the setup.xml that the password follows the webinterface, but still it never ask me for it. I have tried on multiple machines (the PW is not stored in a cookie, and if that was the case I would notice after changing the password). Have anybody else noticed this?

BR,
René

It's the same for me to.

And another thing is that the webinterface does not work if DVBviewer is running. This I don't know if it also was before or it's by design.
