Scheduling Recordings Locally
Home  Previous  Next

Use this feature to schedule recordings while accessing SnapStream.Net from the same computer that is running Enterprise TV.

Notes:  
·Beyond TV must be running on the machine from which SnapStream.Net is being accessed in order for this function to work properly.  
·Conflict Resolution is not available when using this function, so it is strongly recommended that the user schedule recordings from the ViewScape Interface.  

Once logged in to SnapStream.Net, configure the system accessing SnapStream.Net for local recordings:

1.Click the "My Account" link (located in the top right of the screen).  
2.On the "My Account" screen, click "Configure Remote Recording."  
3.On the "Remote Recording" screen, ensure that the button displayed is labeled "Add Remote Recording Cookie." If it is labeled "Remove Recording Cookie," click it to change it to the proper value.  

Note: If the button reads "Remove Remote Recording Cookie," it is assumed that the user is accessing SnapStream.Net from a different computer from the one upon which Beyond TV is currently running. Recordings will instead be saved on SnapStream.Net, and retrieved by Beyond TV at regular intervals.  

Next, use the "TV Listings," "At A Glance," or "Search" functions to find recordings to schedule. Click on a show's title to access a window that allows scheduling. One or all of the following icons will be displayed
 
record_episode
Record this episode
Click this picture to schedule a recording of the selected show. If the episode is currently showing, recording will begin as soon as the Beyond TV machine retrieves the remote recording job.

record_always
Record all episodes
Click this picture to schedule recording of all future episodes. This option will only be available for episodic shows.

record_all_new_episodes
Record all new episodes
Click this picture to schedule recording of all episodes that aren't repeats. This option will only be available for episodic shows.

 

After making the desired selection, a small file will be downloaded to the computer and immediately opened by Beyond TV. Unless recording conflicts exist, the recording will be added to the list of recording jobs.
