Schedule and record with ALOT of cards www

[JSL]

Sorry, I'll try to make myself more clear:

I want to save the value of plugin>XSchedule>statusSchedule into a new variable (e.g. variable>Status) using the command Save To Variable:

Information: %plugin>XSchedule>statusSchedule%
Variable (Location): Status

However, no value is stored in variable>Status.

Will this be possible to make? Reason: I want to evaluate the response of the plugin, thus if i get a "Schedule OK." Xlobby sends an event to Girder.

Best regards,

Jacob

The best I could do was to send a event to girder through the plugin when the schedule is ok. I added this in the code

//Send schedule_ok to girder
try
{
SendCommand("command:girder:send event string:schedule_ok");
}
catch {}

so it will send schedule_ok command to girder. Is this OK??

I uploaded new dll

It works like a charm! Thanks.

I was thinking, however, changing the plugin so it sends events to girder is very specific to my need. You could make it more generic by having separate pop-up overlays for each distinct message ("Schedule OK.", "Schedule is now deleted" etc.). Hence, each skin-designer could assign post-processing events to each overlay as preferred (I could assign a girder sendmessage event)!

problem is that I'm not using the plugin anymore. I switched to mediaPortal for watching tv.

Aarr...OK

Have to have a look on that mediaportal sometimes.

Would it be OK to get a copy of your source code for further development?

If possible my email is: jsl15 AT privat DOT dk

Could you tell me what u use to schedule a window task, SCHTASKS or WMIservices or any other means.
SCHTASKS does not allow to flag "Run only if logged on" and "Wake up computer to run task"?

Lasse,

I figured I'd try and ask you these questions, since your a fellow xlobbier. I may have to ask these though in the GB-PVR forums though as I'm having a configuration issue with GBRecord.

I like your plugin by the way. For the most part it is working nicely, and I've pretty much integrated it with WinTV2000.

My one issue is that GBRecord is setting up recordings from the svideo1 port. How do you configure it to record from channel x (channel 3 in my case) as opposed to the svideo or composite inputs? Here is a log file from GBRecord:

Do you know what the following do from the direct.ini file (more importantly, do they have any relation to my issue above):

Code: Select all

MapChannelToComposite3=1001
MapChannelToSVideo1=1003

Here is my direct.ini file (well the main setup information):

As you can see, I tried to map to channel 3, but it doesn't seem to work for me.

Thanks for any help you (or someone else who has success at setting up GBRecord) may provide.

[lar282]

IF I remember correctly (looong time since I used it,switched to MP) u have to set the
CAPCHANNEL=svideo1
' options are epg svideo svideo1 composite1 c254
set it to epg and then map the channels in the ini file (schedule_TV.ini)

this is what I found from the ini file help:
cappchannel options are epg svideo svideo1 composite1 c254. epg will take info from the xlobby epg and record on that channel.
The plugin will convert the EPG channel names and read the convert section in the ini file.It will add -pCHANNELNAME to the
Gbrecord parameter

[CONVERTCHANNELS]
xlobbyEPG=ConvertedEPG
tv4=32
tv3=60
EPG=GBRECORD



PS:switch to mp plugin instead.works better:DS
