I've successfully triggered recordings before with the api interface using
/Dvr/GetRecordSchedule?ChanId=... &StartTime=... and throw it back with Dvr/AddRecordSchedule
but it's not working this time and I think I'm not choosing the right parameters.
The parameters I'm seeing and changing are as follows.

Code: Select all
Same: AutoCommflag = false
Same: AutoExpire = true
Same: AutoMetaLookup = false
Same: AutoTranscode = false
Same: AutoUserJob1 = false
Same: AutoUserJob2 = false
Same: AutoUserJob3 = false
Same: AutoUserJob4 = false
Same: AverageDelay = 0
Same: CallSign = BBC ONE Lon
Same: Category = Entertainment
Same: ChanId = 10001
Same: Description = The quiz in which contestants try to score as few points as possible by plumbing the depths of their general knowledge to come up with the answers no-one else could think of.
Same: DupIn = All Recordings
Same: DupMethod = Subtitle then Description
Change *** EndOffset = 2 to: 1
Change *** EndTime = 2023-02-02T18:00:00Z to: 2023-02-02T17:38:00Z
Same: Episode = 42
Same: Filter = 0
Same: FindDay = 5
Same: FindTime = 17:15:00.000
Same: Id = 0
Same: Inactive = false
Same: Inetref =
New: *** LastRecorded =
Same: MaxEpisodes = 0
Same: MaxNewest = false
Same: NewEpisOnly = false
Same: ParentId = 0
Same: PlayGroup = Default
Same: PreferredInput = 0
Same: ProgramId = fp.bbc.co.uk/m/tv8z
Same: RecGroup = Default
Same: RecPriority = 2
Same: RecProfile = Default
Change *** SearchType = None to: Manual
Same: Season = 0
Same: SeriesId = fp.bbc.co.uk/m-qv3c
Change *** StartOffset = 2 to: 1
Change *** StartTime = 2023-02-02T17:15:00Z to: 2023-02-02T17:37:00Z
New: *** Station = BBC ONE Lon
Same: StorageGroup = Default
Same: SubTitle =
Change *** Title = Pointless to: Manual
Same: Transcoder = 0
Change *** Type = Not Recording to: Record One
If I omit the change to Searchtype it triggers a recording but it has the status of 'Recording one +2 later showing' so does not record.
What settings might be wrong?
