Scheduling

Scheduled recording is a Venue-level feature.

What scheduling does

Scheduled recording watches the wall clock and automatically starts and stops recording on the days and time windows you define.

When scheduling is enabled, ShowRevue:

  • starts recording when the current time enters an active record window,
  • stops recording when the current time leaves that window,
  • uses the selected session type for the scheduled recording,
  • shows the next trigger time in the main toolbar.

Setup

Open Preferences → Scheduled Recording.

  1. Turn on Enable Scheduled Recording.
  2. Set the Start Date and End Date.
  3. Choose the active Days of Week.
  4. Add one or more Record Windows.
  5. Choose the Session Type to use for scheduled runs.

Record windows

  • You can configure up to 4 time slots.
  • Each slot has a Start and Stop time.
  • Slots can span midnight if the stop time is earlier than the start time.

Session reports folder

Scheduled recordings export show reports to a separate folder.

In Preferences → Scheduled Recording, use Choose Folder… in the Session Reports section to pick that export location.

Storage estimate

The scheduling pane shows a storage estimate based on:

  • your current codec,
  • current quality setting,
  • the configured record windows,
  • the number of scheduled session days in the selected date range.

Next trigger

When scheduling is active, ShowRevue shows the next scheduled start time in the toolbar as a calendar badge, for example Next: 19:55.
