      Any one using Recording Broker? I need a noob setup guide.

        Seems like no one has heard of it. Well:

        Recording Broker is an application that detects recording conflicts and submits recording requests to other Media Center pc’s configured in the application.

          You do know that that very same Andy Van Til (Babgvant) is actually a senior editor at this very website, yes? 🙂

          We can add it to the to-do list, I’m sure he could throw something together fairly quickly

            TBH, there’s not much setup involved. 

            1. Install the service on both machines. 
            2. Allow the service to communicate through the PC firewall.
            3. Add the PCs that you want to broker too by name in the app.
            4. Make sure the ports and secret are the same on all the PCs

            And if you’re running 7MC (or Fiji) use this version.

              Got it working. I forgot (didn’t read) to enable the service on both pc’s.

              How long does it take for it to “broker” the recording once you schedule it?

              Is there a way to shorten it?

              Too bad you’re not working on the program anymore. It’s AWESOME! If you ever do decide to work on it again I would love to see some type of Wake On Lan function. Right now i’m using MC-WOL to wake up my Main PC (where I hold all my Recordings) whenever I wan’t to access my Recordings through Homegroup. http://www.matcode.com/wol.htm

                RB is FOSS, you could add it 🙂
