For The Record 1.4.0.0

Posted on Saturday, May 30 2009 @ 18:41 CEST by

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).
