Ability to schedule one-time events #1951

Open elliotmatson opened 2 years ago

elliotmatson commented 2 years ago

Is this a feature relevant to companion itself, and not a module?

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the feature

I would love to be able to have the ability to schedule things to run only once.

For GUI, I'm thinking maybe a calendar view that shows all repeating time-based triggers as well as one-off's would be the best way to view this? That would be a significant amount of work though.

Usecases

We do a lot of one-off events that I can't always be around for, so it would be really useful to be able to schedule a video or multitrack recording of that event, loading presets, shutdown after event, etc.

Hello! I'm seconding this request, and would love to see it happen for the exact same reason.

Itneeds to be added as an option under an Event's Triggers -- a small calendar / clock option to set a specific date & time. Not currently possible from any of the options (that I can figure out, including any internal variables).
