[mythtv] Internal scheduling

[Ian Jackson]

Hi All,

I'm working on a little mythhack that should add  (very) basic pvr 
functionality to record Internet streams using streamripper.  My goal is 
to provide a basic interface interface where somebody can enter urls and 
schedule recordings. Right now, it's a shell script that runs off the 
cron daemon. However, I plan on using perl on the backend. I haven't 
really considered the interface yet. I'm just focusing on getting the 
backend to work.  I understand that myth has a built in scheduler. I had 
a look at the db, however, I think I'm missing the large picture. Can 
the Internal scheduler be used for anything? How is the scheduling 
handled? Am I better off to just stick with cron?

Thanks,

Ian J.
