    "smarter" delete function and sleep/prevent sleep options

    First off, thank you for MCEBuddy, it's awesome!

     

    I would be great if you could Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0in; mso-para-margin-right:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0in; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} incorporate these features in the next version.

     

    1. A smarter delete function. Last week I had a fight recorded (EliteXC) and was waiting for mcebuddy to convert it so I could watch it. The only problem is some update I installed rebooted my machine. MCEbuddy deleted my DVR-MS file of the fight and it didn't finish encoding! It seems I have to be very careful with the delete option. If the computer goes into hibernate mcebuddy will sometimes delete the DVR-MS file before mcebuddy has finished recoding it. I think in future versions mcebuddy should check the converted files play time (with the DVR-MS file) before deleting the DVR-MS file. This will ensure that mcebuddy has completed converting the DVR-MS and it is now safe to delete.

    2. The ability to wake up the computer to re-encode files and then put it back to sleep or always put computer to sleep after being done as long as nothing is currently being recorded. I figure coding mcebuddy to wake up would be harder to do than just putting the computer to sleep/hibernate/s3 after the re-encoding jobs are done. I hate wasting power leaving the dvr on when its not recording something or when mce is idle.

    Thanks again for mcebuddy!

    It's in scope for MCEBuddy 2.0 (check the releases page) and there's a couple of other posts where I cover this in more detail.

    Also in scope for 2.0 (see releases) as I hate wasting power too.
