ScedulesDirect support

[JohnInSJ]

I'm running an old version of GBPVR (0.8x?) - any chance the schedules direct support can be backported to that version, or otherwise used with that version? If not, I will need to upgrade to the latest (and probably lose all my historical data...)

I posted a while back about being stuck in the dark ages rev-wise, the version I am running is still using the ms access database, and it seems like there is no upgrade path possible. I'm willing to try doing a multi-step upgrade, but I don't know which versions I need to install to get from where I am to where I need to be (or even if those intermediate versions are available for download )

So, three part question:
(1) what, if anything, can I do to use schedules direct with an old version of gbpvr, and if the answer there is "nothing" then,
(2) do you have older revs available for download, so I can upgrade from the ms access version to the sql version, then upgrade again to the latest version?, and if the answer there is still NO, then
(3) can I at least export/import the current recordings I have from my old version to the latest version?

Lotta questions, I know - thanks in advance!

it cant be backported, the first version that you can use that includes scheduledirect is 1.0.16. that will include both the new and old UI, so if you dont have the graphics muscle to run PVRX2, 1.0.16 is probably going to be the end of the road for you (at least on that system)

I am not sure if the new version still contains the dbconvert utility, but sub probably still has it sitting around.

I would think that you could export your recordings, and then import them into the new version... probably the best idea (along with backing up the old version) as that would give you a clean slate.

I think you can just use XMLTV with Schedules Direct. XMLTV works fine with Zap2it and it is listed as one of the supported apps for Schedules Direct.

The database conversion utility is included in 1.0.16. I upgraded from .95.16 yesterday and had no problems converting to the new database.
