SearchWiz - New Plugin

[JavaWiz]

Small bug - Search Wiz seems to report multiple recordings when only one exists if the program description is the same (this occurs on a cable line-up with digital local and analog local channels that have the same shows)

Could you paste an example (and send me your gbpvr.db3 db)? I have not seen this behavior.

OK this was mostly stupid user error - I see that the number is the number of possible conflicts not the actual recordings so in that sense its not a bug. It should report a possible conflict since the source is recording something in that timeslot but there definitely aren't 4 conflicts which is how many it is reporting (I only have 1 recording source :0) But it's not a big deal. I have attached screen shots and send my DB to you just in case you think its worth checking out.

On the ones that show 4 potential conflicts, click on them as if you wqere going to schedule a recording. It will display the shows that it thinks are conflicting. It could be that the target show strattles time-lines of other shows (ie overlaps end of one show, and beginning of another).

It seems to be doubling the conflicts with the digital/analog pairs -
So of the 4 two were heroes which was on NBC and NBCDT but only scheduled on NBCDT and the other two are Smallville itself so search wiz thinks it is scheduled on both Fox and FoxDT, (I canceled the Heroes for this view)

how can u tell if an episode is a re-run or not?

Actually, you found a bug I think. It was looking at the pending and the season entries in the db and treating them as 2 shows (it should be one). Next version (0.4.13) will have a fix for this, and will list channel number in the conflict list.

I'm not 100% sure (sub probably knows), but I think it would be based on the program identifier in the programmes table and the one in the recordings table matching.

Thanks for the quick response,

possible bug 2, the set filter screen seems to have lost its ok button - this may be the "ok/enter" on a remote but mouse user's like me can't actually set a filter without the missing OK button

As to the rerun question - I don't think its standard in the guide you need epgextra or guidesupercharger to get the data in the guide and show when a show is originally aired.

Wakalaka - Good news, I think I found the problem with the show image disappearing. Try the new version 0.4.13 and see if that cures the problem.

04/16/07 : 0.4.13
* Fixed problem in ShowInfo when loading show thumbNail. Would cause thumbnail to disappear.
* Skin update for conflict show dialog
* Correct duplicate listing of shows in conflict show dialog
* Update help text in recording dialog for SET button

I was using the method UiUtilities.GetImageForFile(), seems 2nd time it is called for the same image it returned null. I replaced with the method Image.FromFile() and it seems to work correctly.
