Little problems with the DVBViewer scheduler

[enricob]

Hello.

 

Two questions about some little problems with the DVBViewer scheduler.

 

1 _ Why every time I open the scheduler the current channel starts recording ? Why this? How to avoid it?

 

2 _ In case a channel change (no recording) has been scheduled, the scheduler changes channel as planned even if timeshift is active - I mean even in case I am watching the current channel delayed, replay mode.

 

Is it possible to avoid the automatic channel change scheduled by the scheduler in case I am watching the current channel delayed, replay mode and, rather than this automatic channel change, display a message asking the user to confirm the channel change?

 

Thank you.

What is the DVBViewer scheduler? Please post a screenshot if you don't know how to explain.

I'm talking about the "timer recordings".

 

This is the screenshot:

 

 

I didn't post a screenshot just because I supposed I knew how to explain.

 

And I supposed I knew just because "Timer recordings" has been translated as "pianificatore" in Italian, and just because "pianificatore" is usually translated as "scheduler".

I see. It's just the DVBViewer Timer Recordings Windows. I suspected that you are still using the out-dated "DVB Task Scheduler" add-on for DVBViewer, that could potentially cause the described issues.

I don't know. I can't reproduce it, and it's no known DVBViewer issue. The only potential reason I can see in the code of the window's OnShow event is that DVBViewer updates the current timer list by downloading it from the DVBViewer Media Server, provided it is installed, DVBViewer is configured as Media Server client and delegates timer handling to it.

 

Please create and attach a support.zip, so I can see your whole configuration, including DVBViewer version etc. Please don't forget to reproduce the issue in DVBViewer debug mode before creating the support.zip. This saves further enquiries.

You are right. DVBViewer performs a forced channel change, assuming that this is what you want after having prebooked a certain programme. It assumes that this has a higher priority, because you have planned it purposely.

This would be possible. However, it's unknown what other users think about it. Applications that query on each and every opportunity if something initiated by the user should really be done can be quite annoying... anyway, I'll think about it.
