Tvheadend

If nobody is working on this I'd like to take a look at it.

Sure go for it, all user input always welcome :) When you've got something submit a github PR, even if its not complete it can be a useful way to engage in review etc... (just make sure you note its not complete etc...)

Hi Ronald,

Any updates on this ticket? I'm waiting desperately for this feature :)

This would allow me to kick about 100 autorecording rules.

Hi Sven,

• around time is converted: after = around - 15 minutes, before = around + 15 minutes (24 hour wrap if needed)
• Recordings only match if in period [after - before] with a 24 hour clock in mind so if you indicate [23:00 - 01:00] it matches anything in the periods [23:00 - 00:00] and [00:00 - 01:00]

I will sign up on githup and try to create a pull request

I think I succeeded in moving my local repo + branch to githup and generated a pull request for it:
https://github.com/eijckron/tvheadend/pull/1

Is this all it takes to offer this for inclusion?

Hi Ronald,

There seems to be a bug. When i change and entry the "Start before" column is empty after saving the changes. When i edit the entry afterwards, it is filled with a '0'.

But this little feature improves the whole autorecording functionality :-D

Perhaps this should be configurable, as i do not know, if the old way with starting around is a need for somebody else.

Hi Ronald,

If you use 0:00 as time the webinterface thinks that this field isn't initializied. That's why it displays a '0'.

Ok, it's working. :)

If the old 'start around' was configured the data is converted to the new before & after configuration at around time - and + 15 minutes. (including 24 hour wrap)

The GUI could use some work, when altering the data it preselects the wrong item (9:00 -> 5:40, hours to minutes / 100 -> wrong hours) This was also the situation with the old start around column. My Extjs experience is limited to these changes so I have no idea how to fix this.

Yes. This convertion works. The only thing i noticed is, when you click in the webinterface on a time column in order to change the 'after' or 'before' time, the time is not converted correctly.

For example the time 20:00 get's converted to 12:15 in the edit field. This is a tiny bug, but i do not know if it is a result of your changes :)

Hi All,

I Patched this feature to the version HTS Tvheadend 3.5.203~g635441d and it worked. I can report that this patch might be called stable. There were no issues in the last month. All recordings worked and not a single one was missed.

Perhaps you want to add this patch to the master branch?

Hi,
I am currently running a git build 3.9.788~g385c190 and previously I had a 3.5 build shipped with raspbian. Both do not include the feature described in Feature Request #1400 and I would really be glad to see it in. Reason is the same as the OP mentioned:

two episodes of a season are aired within a one hour timeframe, 21:05 and 21:35 start time respectively. Same episodes get repeated 23:05 and 23:35. Clamping the recording start to a one hour window would make the unwanted recordings of the repeats go away.

I tried to pull the patch from comment #6 but only got an 403 error. Not sure if I did that right anyways, and if it still would merge into current tree.

Still the autorec of TVH is much better than what my other (commercial) vdr provides!

You have to wait a little while, there is currently a pull request at github where this feature(finally) is implemented.

https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/pull/420

I'll personally hope that this will be released in the next weeks. But as I am not involved in this development, I constantly check this pull request for new comments and news.

Oh good. I was worried because the last update in this feature request was almost one year old. Thanks for the heads up.
