Video Archive - Not showing "Viewed"

[humpty]

I have recently installed VA v3 (the newest one I wiki, I think it is v3 - from a month ago).

I have GBPVR 97.13 and I am using the default database (access I assume).

When I view a video it is not showing up as viewed when using any skin, I know from past experience some skins change the colours of the titles of what has been viewed and others (like BlueMCE) have a "Not Viewed" or "Viewed" box on the screen.

Nothing that I have watched is being shown as viewed.

Any help is appreciated.

As a test, select a file in the file list and press 0. That will toggle the viewed/not viewed attribute in the database. If you have access you can look at the database to see what if it has this field set. If you don't have acess you can post your video archive.mdb file and I can look to see if the viewed field is set for anything.

Jeff,

I just got back from Phoenix so now I could test this.

When I hit "0" I get a pop-up that asks if I would like to mark the show as viewed and I hit ok... but it still doesn't seem to show up that way.

I looked at the database in Access and I can't find where it would say whether or not a show has been viewed. Is this information stored in the video archive .mdb or somewhere else?

Thanks

Could this be happening because these are not "recorded" shows?

[Jeff]

It is in the Archive Table. For each file there is a field called Viewed that is 1 if it has been viewed and 0 if not. Do you see the video file in question listed in the Archive Table?

Jeff,

No, none of the files in my "TV Shows" directory are in the archive table of the database, but the ones in my DVD directory are.

I have seen this behaviour before but I can't recall why this happens. Are these shows listed in your main gbpvr database? If you zip up the two databases and email them to me I can install them on my machine and see if I can reporeduce the problem. I tried to send you a PM with my email address but your account blocks these. Send me a PM with an email address and I will send you back mine.
