I'm looking to implement a new scheduling type and am looking for comments, theories on best way to implement it.
The situation. In the UK, and numerous other places, the stations like showing movies with a 1-5 min news break in the middle. This would look like the following in the guide data. A B C where A is the movie of interest, B is the newsbreak and C is the rest of the movie. Now because the program is in two pieces you cannot use a find one showing schedule type, since you will only get 1/2 a program. I want to make a new schedule type I'm calling FindOne Disjointed which would record the show A right through to the ending time of show C. A bit of extra disk space for a movie with an extra long bit in the middle to cut out later. The way I do this know is to pick a specific showing of A and set an overrecordtime that gets it to the end of C. Works but could be improved upon. Sample movie from the guide data. +--------+---------------------+---------------------+--------------+ | chanid | starttime | endtime | title | +--------+---------------------+---------------------+--------------+ | 1006 | 2005-11-16 23:30:00 | 2005-11-17 00:28:00 | Total Recall | | 1006 | 2005-11-17 00:30:00 | 2005-11-17 01:40:00 | Total Recall | | 1006 | 2005-11-17 22:00:00 | 2005-11-17 22:58:00 | Total Recall | | 1006 | 2005-11-17 23:00:00 | 2005-11-18 00:10:00 | Total Recall | +--------+---------------------+---------------------+--------------+ The logic of assembling these four bits together into two shows is pretty simple, just what is the best way to weld this into the scheduler.
