Way to run "pvrx2.exe -OnlyUpdateEPG" from the Plugin API

[groovyclam]

Hi sub

I have made a great deal of progress with a C# widget to insert recording_schedule requests from the DOS command line.

You advised that I would to run "pvrx2.exe -OnlyUpdateEPG" after inserting the row - is there a way to do the same sort of thing via the GBPVR plugin API - rather than doing a system call ?

It seems like I can do this from the API:

Code:

IScheduleHelper doreload;

doreaload.ForceRecordingScheduleReload();

But what do I assign to my variable "doreload" to get is to reference PVRX2's instance ?

Or am I totally wrong with this approach ?

You can't use this from outside of the gbpvr framework. For example, to do what you are trying to do (from within a plugin), I would use the following...

Code:

ScheduleHelper.getInstance().ForceRecordingScheduleReload();

Outside of the gbpvr framework, getInstance() has no meaning as your exe won't have an instance of ScheduleHelper.

To do what you are trying to do, I would spawn a new Process to invoke pvrx2.exe and pass the cammand line argument to it.
