how to schedule a manual recording

[fre_]

Hi,

 

I would like to schedule a 24-hour recording (from 00:00 - 23:59), 7 days a week for 1 particular radio channel in DVBViewer Mediacenter.

This recording should have a name like "RADIO 1 - 24/7 - [current date]"

Is this possible and if yes, how do I achieve this?

Web Interface -> Timer -> New Timer and then you will see...

Thank you Griga for your reply.

 

I tried that, and it did work for just one day. 

But how can I make this work for every day of the week.

Checking all the boxes of all days doesn't work, it only creates a timer for just one day....

How did you realize that it's just a one-day-job?

I've attached some pictures here below.

On the first screenshot, you can see the parameters I've entered.

On the second screenshot (timer overview), you can see this timer is set only for Friday, not for Saturday.   

That makes me conclude it's just a one-day-job, or am I wrong?

The timer should automatically switch the date to Saturday, as soon as the Friday recording is done. Doesn't it?

Of course it does.  Thank you for making that clear.

 

edit:

a little downside of creating timers this way is that the recording can't be found in the recording list (neither in the web-interface or on the android app)

Not even after reloading the page in the browser?

Of course you are right again, sorry for this misinformation.

I was confused because the displayed name in the recording list doesn't match the name I gave to the recording when manually creating the timer.

Apparently, in the recording list, DVBViewer Media always displays the name of the current program it finds in the EPG, whatever name you give it when manually creating the timer:
