Multiple device recording may be provided. First, a recording device may be added to a network. Next, in response to adding the recording device to the network, recording device attribute data and recording device metadata may be received from the recording device. The received recording device metadata may then be translated. Then, using the translated metadata, asset data corresponding to assets on the recording device may be displayed. The asset data may be displayed in such a way to indicate which assets on the recording device are supported and which assets on the recording device are not supported. |

1. A method for providing multiple device recording, the method comprising:
adding a first recording device to a network; receiving, in response to adding the first recording device to the network, recording device attribute data and recording device metadata from the first recording device wherein the recording device attribute data comprises trick play speeds used by the first recording device, a compression format used by the first recording device, and recording format used by the first recording device; translating the received recording device metadata, wherein translating the received recording device metadata comprises mapping the received recording device metadata to a local metadata format supported by a scheduling processor wherein mapping the received recording device metadata to the local metadata format further comprises;
determining, based upon the received attribute data, which assets from the first recording device are supported by the scheduling processor,determining, based upon the received attribute data, trick play speeds for the first recording device,determining at least one of the assets on the first recording device that is not supported by the scheduling processor based upon the received compression format used by the first recording device and the received recording format used by the first recording device, andproviding an indication in the media guide that the at least one of the assets on the first recording device is not supported by the scheduling processor wherein providing the indication in the media guide comprises displaying a grayed out title corresponding to the at least one of the assets on the first recording device is not supported by the scheduling processor; and displaying in the media guide, using the translated metadata, asset data corresponding to assets on the first recording device with asset data corresponding to assets on at least one second recording device of the network. |
