one nice thing about my separate app was i could continue to update next/inprogress recordings while program was closed...
but i guess that's impossible without an app running all the time..
hmm,i wonder if there's a sqlite3 plugin for smartie? lol
[wouldn't be hard to make]
i might be able to use cmd line ver sqlite3.exe to get it done.....
haha, found it, done it.....next rec info straight from database!

problem with plugin is it uses .ini and only 1 query...but can select field in smartie...
i'll see if he can't add more queries in the same .ini but for persistent Next: info one is all we need..
here's my query for next rec info: save as sqlitedb.ini in smartie plugins dir
smartie line: $Dll(sqlitedb,1,,)
which gives: Next:15:30 [NFL Football]
and it will update even when npvr is closed
guess this means you don't need to worry about nextrec and persistent info...
p.s. i'll see if i can't work out a way to have current recordings added too...
