DVScheduler to Individual Channels Options

[dave_c_uk]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to record all the programs on a particular frequency but save them as individual files. I can easily make it record the entire mux and save it as a single TS file using TS All method, but is there a way of making it split? i.e. MUX/frequency xyz contains 8 channels and I want to record them as xyz_prog1, xyz_prog2 etc...
I can do this in VLC using long winded commands and the select component (I can post the whole command line if you want) but VLC doesnt have the scheduling capabilities that DV Scheduler does.

Could anyone help me please?
Thanks

If I understand you, you want to automatically record every single program in a transmission, but to invididual files per program. Try creating a new match list item using the regex expression .* then create an auto add item using that match item. A quick test now shows that it does populate the recording schedule with everything in the guide.

Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to respond. Sorry to be really annoying but I'm not that experienced with the app yet - where abouts do you set the regex expression in DV?

In the match list, just change the entry type to regex.

I see where you mean now. The next problem though is that there is no EPG data for the channels I want :-( Is there another way that you know of? Thanks for your help

You can use "Add New" under the Schedules tab. Select your channel and the Start and Duration or Stop etc. You can then set it to repeat as often as you wish.

However getting hold of the EPG would be a cleaner solution allowing you to name and date (and even sort).


Hope that helps.

Cheers Nick

dvbguide is a good place to start for standard transmitted guides.

A simple batch file will let it dump out the guides.


EPG Collector will also read the standard DVB guides, but it also handles several country's MHEG based guides.

Thanks everyone for your help. The channels are data/on demand channels hence don't have EPG data at all (rather than not being able to download them) so I've done it the way you suggested and just set multiple recordings. Because they're from the same frequency they all record without any problems.

Thanks!
