Network Recorder with Dreambox

[Rayman]

yeah did think it was odd - put it the correct way first - but then noticed it was the other in your instruction - so changed it -
will test the password bit tonight again then -

Ok, great and the regular expression I used to parse this is so easy to read! (extra points if you spot the extra colon)

@"(http://((\w+):(\w+)@)?)?((\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3})(:\d{1,5})?")

You might also want to rethink the need for the 15000 ms wait. It looks like 10000 or even 5000 might work.

HI martin -
just checked t out with the correct syntax with the password set - works fine -
I fixed up the / to a // to in my file - all works -
tried my setting at 6 seconds - ok on startup but then stopped -
10s seemed to work ok though.

The other dreambox user has reported the need for the large buffer to avoid it stopping after a few seconds so i think its quirk of the
dreambox.

All looks ok now - just have to define all the channels now !

Glad to here it works, I will update the wiki with this version later on today. I noticed in the dbox recorder source a couple of commands you might be able to use to get the list to a file via http to simplify adding channels

http://ip/control/channellist or

ok - got the other channels defined over the weekend and have the second dreambox configured as well.

Have set up some recordings so will see how it goes in the next few days !

Martin -
a feature request for you to think about -

scheduled availability / abscence of network tuners -
this comes about as my dream boxes exist elsewhere in the house and at times are used directly by other household members - significantly SWMBO who
doesnt like it when shes watching something and the channel gets changed - because the other dreambox (which is prioritised first) is already recording something else -

I'd guess this would most sensibly integrate into the main tuner code rather than the plugin - but I mention it here - there might be other network device users that also need to prevent them being used at certain re-occuring times?

I guess I understand why they wanted a username/password, you can't really say "how did that happen"? You can disable a tuner temporarily via the config screen, but I think it would be up to sub to make a change like this. Would blocking one period help ie <Restrict>1700-2300</Restrict>

" how did that happen?" ..... na she knows i been fiddling !
I agree a full schedule would reside in subs code and not in the plugin -
A generic restriction would probably work for 90% of the time - ie the situations where I'm not home to manually disable it -
the weekends I could deal with manually -

If you could put the restrict tag in that would help heaps.

martin - just a heads up -
seem to be having an issue with channel changing - seems to work for the first one but then not again - suspect a socket handling issue maybe -
will start investigating tonight - to see whats going on -

thought you should know in-case a release and wiki update were close.
