MFS - Question for developers

[johalareewi]

Hi. Hope some TCL /Tivo MFS coders can help with an idea I have.

I am adding a 'remove from NoReRecord' option for my xTivoweb module.
I have got to the meaty part where I do the actual remove.
I have seen the various bits of code that remove objects from the NoReRecord list but they trash the object.
I don't want to trash the recording but I do want tivo to re-record the programme when it comes round again.

Looking at an MFS recording object, I have
Recording 3005071/10 {
Version = 46
BitRate = 0
ExpirationDate = 15441
ExpirationTime = 41100
ProgramSource = 2724513/-1
SelectionType = 9
Showing = 3005071/11
StartPadding = 300
StartDate = 15439
StartTime = 40798
EndPadding = 1200
ActualShowing = 3005071/13 3005071/14 3005071/18
Score = 5977
Part = 3005071/12 3005071/15 3005071/16 3005071/17 3005071/19
StopDate = 15439
StopTime = 45900
State = 4
StreamFileSize = 2490368
IndexUsed = 3005071/11
IndexPath = /Recording/Active/1:15439:40798:3005071 /Recording/DiskUsed/10/3005071:2490368 /Recording/NowShowing/A:84560:59201:3005071 /Recording/NoReRecord/328693981:NN:99999:03005071


What I plan to do is mfs unlink /Recording/NoReRecord/328693981:NN:99999:03005071
and update the IndexPath to /Recording/Active/1:15439:40798:3005071 /Recording/DiskUsed/10/3005071:2490368 /Recording/NowShowing/A:84560:59201:3005071

The theory being that the object will still exist. Just not in the NoReRecord list.
Does anyone think this is a good move or see any problems?

It sounds like similar functionality to the existing Blocklist module for twp?

Have looked through the blocklist module code and it seems to only "unblock" recordings that have been finished with (ie it removes them completely).
