What's recording where?

[Nick Burns]

I set my shows to record on a specific tuner. I now have 71 recording jobs set. I'd like to get a report of what show is recording on which tuner.

BTV-Negociator version 4.61 (beta) comes close, but not quite.

Recording Jobs | Upcoming will show what will record and on which source, and even allow me to export to an XML file (I can work with that). But it doesn't show every recording job, ie, a recording Job that doesn't happen to have any episodes in the upcoming weeks.

Recording Jobs | Recordings doesn't show the source, nor does it have the option export to a file. This list is essentially what I need.

Are there any other addons that will do what I need?

Thanks for any help.

I'll see what I can do...

Awesome!

I started to look at it, and BTV-Negociator should already be showing the source when one is forced...

Here's what I see in BTV-Negociator version 4.61 (beta)

Upcoming Recordings and Recording Priorities - Notice no sources and option to export:

OK. Just downloaded BTV-Negociator version 4.66 (beta). I can now export the list, but it still doesn't show the Tuner it's going to use. Image still looks like the Recordings I posted above.
The XML just shows a GUID for the entry: RequestedVideoDeviceGuid, but not the device name.

Um...in your first picture, the source column is the last one. It is showing the tuner number (as BTV defines it).

[Nick Burns]

Yes, that's the upcoming recordings... that's not going to give me the full picture of what I'm asking for. If a Job does not have any recordings scheduled for the next two weeks, it's not going to show up in that listing.

In the second picture, that's the list of actual recording Jobs. It has a Source column, but it's not containing any data. And the new beta allows for export to file, but it also does not display what tuner is assigned to which job.

Attach that file and I will check which tuner you have assigned to those recording jobs, if any... I might need your devices.xml file too, depending how tuners are handled in their.

[Nick Burns]

Here's the exported file. I'm now at work, so I don't have access to the devices.xml file.

No problem, I found out why it wasn't showing the right source. At some point I did a query-replace for Guid to GUID, which messed up more than one comparisons...

[Nick Burns]

Thanks for the update Fonceur (4.67)... the Recordings now show the Tuner #, but the export only has the GUID for the source. Is it possible to include the Tuner Device name? If not, I could create my own lookup table against the GUID. The only problem is if I have to do a reinstall (for whatever reason), the GUID will change.

I will see about adding a "myTuner" property or such, which would match the number or name of the source, depending on what you have selected to be displayed...

[Fonceur]

Ok, you can grab BTVN 4.68b for that...

[Nick Burns]

Awesome Fonceur! This is about 99% perfect for me. Is it at all possible to get the actual Device Name included in the XML export? It shows up in the Filter, so I'm hoping this is doable. This would make it 100% for me.

BTW... a donation was sent for all your hard work. Look for it from nick42.

Have a beer on me!
