Feature Request: Notification system
« on: February 03, 2016, 11:17:26 am »

I'd like to see a basic notification system added.
There are some important information i'd like to keep track of.
As well as msg/email me if there is a critical issue.

I've wanted something like this. But the more i use the TV feature the more i thinks it's needed.
For example I recently had some problems with a tuner adaptor for my cable card.
But i only found out because. I happen to catch the popup window that disappears when there is a recording problem.
This should have been a huge red flag for me. So i could have fixed it sooner.

Here are some of the things i would like to keep track of.
  • jriver shutting down
  • Recordings that are expected to happen but not found in the Guide data
  • Failed recordings
  • Files deleted or missing


I wanted to post this in the Too easy III thread but thought it needed more than an hour.
But then mwillems posted this. http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=102992.msg715086#msg715086
So i thought to make a full request

mwillems also made MC_Notifier that i think shows its usefulness

Thanks

100% agree, especially failed recordings and MC crashes.

I agree this is a crucial feature to have.  I do a poor man's approximation of this for WMC by creating tasks that trigger on event entries in WMC's event log and the triggered task runs a script that sends me an e-mail of the event log entry so I can take corrective action.  Has several times allowed me to e.g. set up a recording of a re-run of a show that failed to record.
