PROFILE

Hugh Mcmaster

Worked on the xbmc/xbmc repository to enhance the reliability and usability of the Kodi PVR wake-up scheduling feature. Focused on C++ development and software engineering, the work included implementing strict input validation for wake-up times, requiring users to enter times in the HH:MM:SS format through a numeric dialog, which reduced configuration errors and improved user experience. Addressed a bug by correcting wake-up time parsing to use local time instead of UTC and fixed a typographical error in the PVR code, improving code maintainability. Collaborated with other contributors and updated documentation to ensure downstream compatibility and robust scheduling behavior.
