rcrdit records TV programs from TV tuners

I wanted an alternative to tvheadend and mythtv that didn't have a million features and instead was great at one single job:

1. Recording scheduled shows from TV tuners.

Profiles and autorecs are set up in the database, use database.sql to create the correct structure. Add as many autorecs as you wish.

Configure your TV tuner(s) by editing rcrdit.cfg.example.xml, compile the project with mvn clean package then run the project with java -jar target/rcrdit.jar

rcrdit.ics is generated on every schedule import which when imported to a calendar program like thunderbird can easily show which shows will be recorded when and which will be skipped depending on priority.

A web interface is included which shows the schedule and allows you to schedule recordings. Profiles are still set up manually in the database.
