How does one create a schedule which is everyday from 10:00pm to 5:00am?

It is easier to use a text editor, but you can use your mouse to click and drag. I prefer a text editor, then paste the schedule in. Here is what you want:


[Sun 20:00;Mon 00:00],
[Mon 00:00;Mon 05:00],
[Mon 20:00;Tue 05:00],
[Tue 20:00;Wed 05:00],
[Wed 20:00;Thu 05:00],
[Thu 20:00;Fri 05:00],
[Fri 20:00;Sat 05:00],
[Sat 20:00;Sun 05:00]

Note that the schedule cannot cross midnight on Sunday night, so it takes two entries to cross that time.
Create a new schedule, click on the text bar beside "Edit" and you will get a popup to enter the text. Paste the above into it and you will get this:

You can also have the time relative to sunrise and sunset, but for this you must use a text editor. If you enter this:

[Sun Sunset+01:00;Mon 00:00],
[Mon 00:00;Mon Sunrise-01:00],
[Mon Sunset+01:00;Tue Sunrise-01:00],
[Tue Sunset+01:00;Wed Sunrise-01:00],
[Wed Sunset+01:00;Thu Sunrise-01:00],
[Thu Sunset+01:00;Fri Sunrise-01:00],
[Fri Sunset+01:00;Sat Sunrise-01:00],
[Sat Sunset+01:00;Sun Sunrise-01:00]

Note that the times are now 1 hour after sunset to 1 hour before sunrise. You can enter + or - to either offset.

Thank you!

Perhaps for a future release you might consider including the ability to quickly setup a simple repeating schedule with the UI something like:

every: M T W T F S S <-with check boxes
from: xx:xx:xx am/pm to xx:xx:xx am/pm

Put that in the feature request thread. I know Spud was planning on improving the UI for scheduling.
