Been trying to get back on the forums to update.

Found the Plug-In called Recording Control.

Also going through the instructions PDF for setting this up I found when defining the "External Number" for the channels,
I need to set the same format as used by the Web Based Interface of the Playon.

For Example:
DTV24+ABC+News+24
DTV10+TEN+Digital

Also were I am stuck now is when I to be able to add the Padding into the Additional Commands.
{length_minutes}+15
There does apear to be an option in the Recording Control for "Number of Minutes to Stop Latter" however I coud'nt figure how to get it into the Define Additional Commands

I have followed all the instructions so far;
installed the TV-Browser program, installed the DataHydra (australian channels) plugin and Recorder Plugin but didn't read further to see that we need the .exe file,
the problem is im on a MAC!! (I know, I know.. to shame! lol!)
I've tried compiling the python code in X-code but there are compile errors which i dont understand.. Im a complete noob when it comes to Python!

could I ask a HUGE favour of this forum and ask if someone could compile a .jar file instead of a .exe for the mac user noobs like me?? This would help me and others out heaps!!

Hi MiM,

unfortunatly I have no chance to generate an .exe file for your mac.
But I found this web-site:
http://docs.python.org/using/mac.html

At point 4.5. "Distributing Python Applications on the Mac":


With this tool you should be able to create a executable python script for your mac.

The code for the script can be found in the posts here or in my how-to guide.

Dodger

Thank you so much Dodger for your quick reply! Ill have a try of that now and if im successful ill post up the file!

Since EPG is still useles with 7xxx fw I have triesd this, but there is TvBrowser 3.1 and there is no recording control.

Any idea

Hi croat,
I don`t know it exactly but because of applying all updates I am sute that I also use the version 3.1.
Tomorrow I will have a look at it at the PC.

The how-to I have written shouldvalso work with the new version of TV-Browser.

Maybe you can a little bit more specify which function is missing.

Dodger

Hi,

if you install the newest version of the "TV Browser" you have to install (Tools -> Manage plugins) the "Recording control" plugin.
After that you can proceed with this how-to.

I set everything up as described in the instructions, but an error comes up when I try to schedule recording.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\Python27\lib\site-packages\py2exe\boot_common.py", line 92, in <module>
import linecache
ImportError: No module named linecache
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "PV76120_TV_Browser.py", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named os

Can anyone advise what could be the cause of the error?

Thanks.

Hi ptt102,

try this one in your "GenerateExe.py":


Dodger


***EDIT***
You have to leave yout generated exe file in the "dist" folder because there are additional files which were used by the exe.
If you copy only the exe-file the mentioned failure may occure.
If you want to have it somewhere else just copy the whole "dist"-folder.

Hi Dodger,

I tried the new code for the GenerateExe.py file and there are no error massages. Now when I try to schedule a recording, a window pops up like in the attachment. After clicking OK in that window, the program in the TV Browser is marked as scheduled for recording, but it doesn't appear in the PV76120 schedule.

Am I still doing something wrong?
