mebeling Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 It would be very nice to have an automated video recorder functionality which uses just tv-programs name. If the programs name includes one of the filters which one wants to record it will be allways recorded. This way if the programs starting time varies it will still be recorded without users actions.

bergh Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hello ! You should give the EPGPlus Programm a try. You define what the Program should look in the EPG data and than you define what the Program shall do. - Warn - Schedule a recording - Nothing So if you let it search for Dr. Who and allow programming of recording, you are on the save side. Except : If another scheduled recording has a conflict with this automated one. Quote Link to comment
mebeling Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 Okay, thank you very much, this was exactly what I was looking for Quote Link to comment
MJo Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Okay, thank you very much, this was exactly what I was looking for Me too, thanks, works great! Is there any idea will this functionality be available via OSD? In the future? Would satisfy one step more full htpc usage. Mission: avoid mouse/keyboard and use remote, all right, self-explanatory.. Thanks, Quote Link to comment
Gioxy Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I can't test at moment, but with the new default OSD there is something similar (at least a help for this task), take a look further on this function: • OSD - Program • OSD-Blue • "find more" Quote Link to comment
Dvb-tv Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 (edited) Could it not record, if the name is not exact.

Bombardier Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Exactly what I came here to ask for, gotta test this when I get home. Quote Link to comment
tomduud Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I think EPGPlus still lags functionality of automated series recording. E.g My favourite TV-station reruns TV-show's all episodes within a year period (few times a week, with changing air time) and I want to record every episodes of selected show automatically (no need to set new episodes recording once a week or so (my epg shows only two weeks data)). Similar function can be found from Windows MCE (just hit the record button twice and all episodes under same program id is recorded automatically) I previously used MCE which have lot better OSD user interface, but do not have dvb subtitling. There should also a OSD interface on EPGPlus to handle these series recordings. EPGPlus plugin works great but might need these little things to be a great plugin. br, Mikko P. Quote Link to comment
Bathman Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Me too, thanks, works great! Is there any idea will this functionality be available via OSD? In the future? Would satisfy one step more full htpc usage. Mission: avoid mouse/keyboard and use remote, all right, self-explanatory.. I could not agree more. It would be great if all this could be done with just the remote. The other feature I would like would be "fuzzy recording" thus if the program starts at 19.00 every Saturday but one Saturday the time has changed to 19.15 then the program still records. I find the DVBViewer application to be great. Picks all the channels up, super quick channel changing, very low system resources and outstanding CAM support but I do think that the user interface is its weak point. Quote Link to comment

This is already integrated into the DVBViewer. It's called User. Quote Link to comment
extremeno Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 This is also a missing feature of DVB for me, and I think it's not difficult to implement: 1.- Just add a "Grab always in this channel" checkbox in the existing OSD window that confirm the EPG recording. 2.- When this checkbox is checked, store the relevant information (program name and channel) in a new table/file 3.- In the existing EPG writer engine, check every new entry against this table, if match any entry, fire a new timer automatically with the new broadcasting time 4.- Add somewhere the posibility of edit/delete the existing repeating shedules You can refine this proccedure by adding information of the schedules about its repeatomg scheme and grouping all instances of a recording. You can also mark this programs in the TimeLine OSD screen with a group of red circles. You can see a working example here: http://www.team-mediaportal.com Regards from Spain Quote Link to comment
