Starting with version 4.0, Just Control communicates with the macOS Calendar application and therefore the application must have access to the macOS Calendar application. Upon its first launch, Just Control requests access to the macOS Calendar application.

If Calendar access hasn't been granted, follow these steps to enable Calendar access:

  1. Open the macOS “System Settings”.

  2. Select “Privacy & Security”

  3. Look for the Calendars option and click on it

  4. Look for Just Control and verify that “Full Access” to Calendars is enabled.

Info

Please verify that your macOS Date & Time settings are compatible with the Gregorian Calendar format (Gregorian date formats include the following: ddmonyy, ddmonyyyy, mm/dd/yy, or mm/dd/yyyy). Using the Gregorian calendar ensures consistency and accuracy in the Date header, avoiding misinterpretation, synchronisation and activation errors. This is crucial for the Schedule mode to fetch the correct Start/Stop Date and Time information.

Preface

In Schedule Mode, a Channel records files based on Calendar Events from the macOS Calendar application of the machine running Just Control. You may use any Calendar that can be added to the macOS Calendar app, such as iCloud or Gmail Accounts or from other Mail/Calendar servers. Events scheduled in the corresponding/selected Calendar will automatically switch the Channel to Schedule Mode and start a Recording. When stopping a Schedule Recording manually, the corresponding Event will be deleted automatically.

Repeating Calendar Events

Repeating Calendar Events can be utilised in Schedule Mode. However, it is crucial to ensure the use of unique file names to prevent any unforeseen behaviour (Date and Time Naming Preset tokens).

...

Generally, all available Timecode Sources can be used for Schedule Mode. System administrators need to ensure that the just:in engine (mac and linuxJust In Engine (Mac and Linux) are provided with the same Timecode Source as the macOS machine, where the Scheduling process (Just Control User Interface and macOS Calendar application) is running. For instance, when using an NTP Server as a source (i.e. ”Computer Time”), then the macOS machine running the Just In Engine application and the machine running the Just Control User Interface need to have the same NTP server configured.
