View Full Version : Presstv recording: Looking for an improved scheduler

I downloaded Orbit Downloader (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Download-manager-Orbit-Downloader-Record-HTTP-MMS-RTSP-RTMP-media-streams-Freeware.htm) based on the review from this thorough web site, 9/10, and it's been good so far, the main problem is the scheduler.

It records presstv instantly mms://217.218.67.228/presstv but the scheduler is very limited. It's not reliable, it will sometimes miss scheduled recordings and it programs only one job per URL. It won't record one show in the morning and another one at night for the same url, on the same day and whatever records next overwrites the previous saved file.

I'm a newbie on this and I've been looking at other similar freebies (getgo, DAP...) and they all seem to work the same, with a very limited scheduler.

I cannot execute more than one Orbit window to program different schedules - the workaround is to log in a second user account to apply a different schedule, so I can have two different schedules for that same url. Is there a similar app that can execute more than one window?

I wish to record live stream like I do TV shows (pvr) and Presstv doesn't keep archives of every single show on their web site.

Pardon my long message, if someone understands my request and knows a proper solution, I'd appreciate it.

I prefer to record/capture Windows Media streams with WM Recorder (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/WMRecorder-One-click-online-audio-video-stream-recorder.htm).

Lots of other streaming video rippers (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/all-streaming-video-recording-software.htm) can download Windows Media streams. I'm not sure about their scheduling feature, so you need to try them yourself. May be GetASFStream (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/record-streaming-video-windows-media.htm#GetASFStream) or SDPReceiver (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/record-streaming-video-windows-media.htm#SDPReceiver) will be able to that.
