Can we please have some basic information such as which version you are running (--version)? Is this a new problem? Did it work previously? Are you creating the schedules using mythweb or mythfrontend?

Are you selecting '5 weekdays if daily' instead of '7 days per week if daily' when creating the manual schedule?

Oops, sorry,

Backend is from the MythTv?-backend 0.21.0+fixes19961 Ubuntu package.

Schedule is created manually via MythWeb:

  1. select Recording Schedules (manual) (http://localhost/mythweb/tv/schedules/manual)
  2. Check "Record this program in this timeslot every day."
  3. Edit channel and time options...
  4. Click create schedule.

... there is now 5 weekdays or 7 days option in the mythweb interface for the manual schedule.

Well I've noticed I introduced a similar bug to mythfrontend in the last couple of days, I fix it there first then bounce this to one of the mythweb guys.

Tested as working in trunk using mythfrontend, so it looks like a mythweb bug.

Please delete the recording rule, then re-create the rule with a starttime on a Saturday or Sunday. See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/158185#158185

"every day" != every day if it begins on a weekday? "every day" == every day if and only if it begins on a weekend...

well, that's not a very nice interface.

Closing this as it's a feature request, not a bug, and not a mythweb issue

If your doctor tells you to take a pill daily, do you skip saturdays and sundays?

Add usage info for Start Date on Manual Schedule page

comment:15 Changed 14 years ago by sphery

Milestone: 0.230.24
Priority: minortrivial
Resolution: invalid
Severity: mediumlow
Status: closednew

Added a patch, mythweb-7057-add_info_on_daily_schedule_start_date.patch , which adds information about how the Start Date is used for Daily manual schedules. I will not apply this until after the release, as it adds a new translatable string and we've already frozen strings for translators (and the issue is not high priority since the scheduler has been like this for many versions and the page has never explained the usage).

A better solution would be a use of JavaScript? that replaces the Start Date label and associated form element with a radio button group allowing the user to select "5 weekdays" or "7 days per week" iff "Record this program in this timeslot every day." is selected and then generates a Start Date for a weekday or weekend day, respectively, depending on the selected value. The Start Date is important for both single record ("Record only this showing.") and weekslot ("Record this program in this timeslot every week.") manual recording rules, so it must be user-configurable for those rule types. Similar changes could be made to the mythfrontend UI (see [10721]).

Ideally, we'd also change the UI to use an option list for the Start Date for single and weekslot recordings, and perhaps even use option lists for setting hours, minutes, and seconds of the Start Time to prevent invalid data entry.

(In [24107]) Fixes #7057. Add text to the MythWeb Manual Schedule page to briefly explain how Start Date is used for daily recordings. This is basically the same description used by mythfrontend.

Anyone interested in making it prettier/more user-friendly should see the comments on #7057 for suggested alternatives.
