Hi,
I am trying to help someone who has recently got a reelbox.
He wants ot be able to schedule recordings from an outside system (on Windows).
I had a look - and I reckon that we could easily append entries to the timers.conf file ... but he just did it to test and the timers are not picked up.
I had a quick scan of the code and my first impression was that the timers.conf is read on start-up and after that it is only ever written to.
I saw the ".update" mechanism for notifying of updates to the recordings list - but it didn't look there was something similar for timers.
I might have got that wrong though.
Another route that I can see is to go via
http://linvdr.org/projects/vdradmin/
and simply post a URL at it with the required data (not tried this but from the screenshot ... I suspect it would be possible)
I do not speak German - but have tried to scan through Wiki and documentation. I didn't find a clue for this one - but I don't mind going through the German pages again if someone can post a link to a particularly relevant area.
