Thanks for your reply! One more question, if I enable "Use Task Scheduler on Windows", should I be able to see the scheduled task within the Task Scheduler? I'm not able to find the task if so.

purplehorseshoes · 2018-08-27, 20:10

Is there a keyboard shortcut or a button or something that I can use to immediately start recording whatever I'm watching?

I can't guarantee that the Windows Task Scheduler code is working perfectly. I haven't fully tested it for a while.
What I tried to do was create tasks that weren't dependent on Kodi still running when the recording takes place.
So most of the task handling is offloaded to Task Scheduler.
I think you can still delete the jobs from within Maintenance but I'm not sure.

Not in IPTV Recorder but there is in TV Guide Fullscreen.

Just discovered this thread. What a great addon primaeval. I have everything set up and working fine on my Windows systems. But finally realized ffmpeg couldn't run on my android phone because it's not rooted. Reading through this thread I found a recent post with your comment above, and started to wonder if it may actually be possible to track down a binary version of ffmpeg that will execute without being put in that root \data\data folder. Does such a beast actually exist?

I was also wondering if you could add an option to disable a rule. There are news programs I'd like to record that air Mondays through Fridays, but not on weekends. It'd be nice to be able to disable them for those 2 days, and then re-enable them on Manday rather than have to delete and then reconfigure them again.

Amazing work yours as always p. Smile

Thanks. I'm pretty sure this works on an unrooted Android device. I just tried my xmltv Meld addon on a Nvidia Shield which does the same thing with busybox as ffmpeg and that worked.
The addon works within Kodi and has access to it's own data\data folder but no other processes.

I don't really want to mess around with days of the week schedules but if you enable that news program as a daily recording and it doesn't occur at that time at the weekends it should just record monday to friday.
Is that good enough?

Are you suggesting that I could install your xmltv Meld addon and use some component of that to set in IPTV Recorder in the ffmpeg option and get recording working on my unrooted phone? Sorry. I'm not all that knowledgeable about most things Kodi.

I could certainly use the rule as it is. Repeats of those programs air at different hours on the weekends. But it really wouldn't be a problem just to delete them. Just to be clear, I wasn't suggesting you create something to select specific days for a program to be recorded. I just thought it might be a simple tweak to disable just the rule, and then re-enable it later. I've not looked at the files the addon creates yet to see if I could create a batch file that might achieve what I'm after.

I confused you about xmltv Meld. Ignore that.
I just tested IPTV Recorder on my unrooted Android Shield and it recorded fine in the default temp folder.
I could even watch the recording as it recorded.

Just do Record Daily for your news program and it should just record weekdays if they are at the same time Monday to Friday.
Check they are exactly at the same time.

Well I struggled with getting ffmpeg to work in android. I found an earlier post in this thread that seemed to be saying the phone needed to be rooted. And when I saw these errors in the kodi.log, it seemed to be confirming that. I was guessing that error was due to an inability to write to any \data\data folder if it actually exists hidden somewhere.

I get that error right when the recording starts. I was assuming it had to do with the android version of ffmpeg I unzipped to a folder on the SD card download folder trying to be copied to \user\user. I think I have the right version that matches my arm cpu. I've tried setting up both versions though, and have gotten the same error message.

Are you sure you've got a 32bit ffmpeg?
You could try running ffmpeg in an adb shell or an app like Termux to make sure it's not that.

Have you got "enable hidden files" turned on in Kodi?
