Hi all,

Have just published an updated Digiguide Add-in zip to my website.

This contains a modified xPLDGRemind.dgaddin which includes 2 additonal
items MARKERTYPE= MARKERID=

The schema is also amended to reflect this change.

Using MARKERTYPE it would take only a few lines of script in xPLHal to
recognise that a programme has been marked for recording (or other
reminder)
and then take an action like OSD/TTS reminder and/or using an xPL IR
interface (like xPL_RedRat2) you could easily get xPLHal to set the video
channel and start recording. Stopping the recording can be done either by
setting the recording period at the time of starting, or thru creating a
timed event.

This does require didguide 6.0 or better.
Note that where a programme has more than 1 marker, a message is sent for
each marker type applicable (e.g. 4 = RECORD).

Regards
Tony
