Scheduling downloads
Jaksta supports scheduling the recording of streaming media. This can be useful for recording long streams during periods of inactivity or regularly streamed programs such as radio shows or live events.
Streaming media can be scheduled for recording either once off or on a regular repeat basis.
In either case Jaksta must be running at the scheduled time, an internet connection must be present and the streaming media must play automatically without user intervention when the hosting webpage is viewed.
To schedule a stream for recording:
1. Select the Schedule node to display the Schedule list.
2. Click the Add button to display the Schedule dialog.
3. Navigate your web browser to the webpage containing the streaming media you would like to record at a schedule time. Ensure the streaming media starts to play automatically. Select and copy the Url (Address) of the webpage.
4. Past the copied Url (Address) into the URL that hosts the streaming media text box on the Schedule dialog.
5. Select the schedule Type and fill out the Start data and time and if necessary the days of the week recording is to occur.
6. Click OK to save the schedule.
Provided Jaksta is running and there is an internet connection, Jaksta will automatically launch scheduled webpages at the required time and begin to record the stream.
Please noet that if your machine is unattended and the browser is not closed then both Jaksta and your browser will download the stream resulting in twice the amount of bandwidth being used.
