Remote Recording Scheduling

This may not be the correct forum to ask this question, but has anybody figured out a way to schedule recordings remotely? Remote Potato seemed to be the best option for a while, but it hasn't been supported for a while.

If android, MyMediaCenter but who knows how long that will last. Otherwise you can do it in Emby with ServerWMC Plugin from any device with an Emby App installed or via the web too.

Looks like MyMediaCenter is no longer active on the appstore. With Emby/ServerWMC, will recordings made using that combo show up in the recorded TV Folders utilized by WMC?

Take a look here.

And yes, Emby and ServerWMC communicate with each other both ways when you set up Emby to record to the same folder that WMC reads.

If looking for the android app it is still in the amazon app store.

Well, that's sad. The Windows 10 app is gone from the store, too. Of course, since Ceton stopped being a company a few years ago, it was only a matter of time. I guess now I can never get rid of this phone or PC so I can keep using MyMediaCenter. :) It's too bad companies refuse to open-source their software before abandoning it.
