Version is R5C7.

Is this possible?

Right now if I schedule a recording I have to enter it every 2 weeks.
I would like to have the schedule to go until I delete it.
I have tried setting a recording daily and weekly and they both stop after 2 weeks.

I could not find anything in the Wiki's or the forum that mentions this. Although I may not be searching for the correct phrase.

Hi,

Two options, every ~13 days reboot or try stop / restart the backend (weekly is ok also). Your manual record schedule should keep being refreshed.

I have an A16 box that has been doing the reboot weekly for around two years on the original manual record schedule.

Thank you!

Mike

A reboot every "Sunday at 03:01" and no log will do nicely.

Hi Mythin1, What file did you put this code in?
Thanks!

Hi,

With R5C7 try the stop start of the mythbackend first, that seems to reload the manual schedule also and doesn't take as long.

You could make a simple script with a sleep of a couple seconds between start / stop then call the script from the root crontab.

Also there was on tweak required to R5C7 or over a period of months you will get a / partition full. Has to do with a roll over of a mysql log. It is a simple delete a script but I don't recall exactly which one other wise R5C7 is like a rock.

Mike

Why not set up the root crontab to do a mythbackup every day or week? This will stop and start the backend plus give the added bonus of having a backup that you can restore from in /myth/backup.


Here's my root crontab that runs at 5am each day:

I would not be willing to bet that " I " could make any script no matter how simple that could be depended on.

I remember taking care of the "/ partition full" awhile ago.
And I can't remember exactly how I did it though...

R5C7 works and works well. It does what I need and I don't like fixing things that are not broken. That attitude may come back and bite me one day. When I find something I like I stick with it till the bitter end.

Hi,

Ya, I like R5C7 also
A simple script would look something like:
(need to be root so would be a good place for your script)
nano -w /root/be-recycle.sh


and then follow mihanson's tip

Code:
crontab -e

then
Code:
1 3 * * 0 /root/be-recycle.sh > /dev/null

The backup idea is cool also, and you get two birds!

Figured you may have already done the one and only required tweak, but best to at least mention it.

Good luck
Mike

The more choices the better!

Thanks

Greg
