    For The Record 1.4.0.0

    Posted on Saturday, May 30 2009 @ 18:41:54 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

    For The Record is an advanced rule-based scheduling system to record your favorite TV programs in a very intelligent way. It has full support for running as a service with multiple clients (see example setup diagrams below). Access to the system is available ranging from a typical Windows application over plugins for living-room Media playback software to internet Web Access to give you the maximum possible reach. Because the scheduling system is rule-based it offers unparalleled power to record exactly what you want.

    Changelog:
    • Core: radio channels, radio channel groups and radio schedules are now supported (note: major API change!).
    • Core: added teletext support for TV channels.
    • Core: automatic creation of thumbnails for your recordings (.thmb files).
    • Core: added optional channel broadcast time (start/stop) which makes sure pre/post-recording doesn't use time when the channel is not available (for example BBC which starts to transmit at 20:00).
    • Core: processing commands can be set to be the default for television schedules, radio schedules or both.
    • Core: it's now possible to select Windows Authentication for SQL Server during setup.
    • Core: an unwatched recording is now only removed from the previously recorded history when it is deleted by automatic cleanup.
    • Core: added a new service transport mode: Binary HTTPS (custom binding, much faster for remote access).
    • Core: modified TV server recorder/tuner to use the new DVB-EPG hook (MP 1.0.1 only!).
    • Core: added WCF reader quotas to service endpoints now (were already applied to client channels).
    • Core: tweaked skipped recordings code: if a first recording had a conflict, but a repeat kicks in, the original conflict is removed since it's no longer an actual problem.
    • Core: it's now possible to set a negative manual post-processing time for a recording to help resolve conflicts.
    • Core: when recorder/tuners are initialized during startup any initial failures will not be logged until after the retries.
    • Core: fixed MySQL create script for Unix-based MySQL systems.
    • IM-Bot: added a bunch of new commands: cancel <program-number>, delete schedule <program-number>, record <program-number> { once | daily | weekly | workingdays | weekends | anytime } [ new | all ], search guide <text>, search result <title-number>, show channels <group>, show groups, show guide <channel> [day-number], uncancel <program-number>.
    • IM-Bot: tweak to to close an open conversation with a contact when that contact goes offline or comes back online.
