v0.94.12 (17 September)

[sub]

Does the automatic update at 3:00am use the same ports as the manual update?

Yes it does. In fact, they're both the exact same code, just called from different applications.

Most software firewall products store rules on a per application basis, so if config.exe can update the EPG, then does not necessarily mean the recording service can.

[sub]

any change since there is now 1000's of gbpvr users out there and we are updating all at 3am that the zap2it server is to busy and just times out?

I doubt it. Also, the USA users are spread across several timezones.

You can always change the time if you like.

O.k. so it's not my firewall then... I'll try to change my time to something like 5am to see if that does anything.

O.k. so it's not my firewall then... I'll try to change my time to something like 5am to see if that does anything.

Perhaps it's a user permissions problem. Are you using a firewall with user-specific rules? The recording service doesn't necessarily run as the same user you're logged in as.

[davisj36]

Good idea wtg but I'm actually using a hardware based firewall so it's not really on the pvr. I never had a problem for the last 6 months and it just started after my last update but like Sub said the automatic code and the manully code are the same so I'm confussed myself. I did set my update time to 5am to see if that makes a difference....

Sub: I noticed that I can only change the time by hour. Is it that why for a reason or can it be changed to have it update at 3:30am or even a weird time like 3:38am?

[sub]

It doesnt do the update at the exact time specified. There is an element of randomness as to the exact miunte the update will occur. It could take several minutes after the hour you specify.

Is it that why for a reason or can it be changed to have it update at 3:30am or even a weird time like 3:38am?

Sure, I could have done that, but I chose not to, realising most people were just going to leave it on the default anyway. Instead I opted to build in a bit variance based on the exact time the recording service was started and the granularity of the duration of the sleep performed by the EPG monitor.

This scheme has worked well and hasnt caused any problem that I'm aware of since it was introduced over a year ago.

[davisj36]

Sounds good to me... I'll let you know how I make out tomorrow.

Another very minor (cosmetic, really) problem I've discovered with this version is sometimes when scrolling through the TV guide, a line won't highlight (green) but the items above and below it will. If you select the non-highlighted line and go across and back (either left, or right) then it highlights green correctly. Just wanted to bring that to your attention, thanks.

For me, the EPG update fails with the following in the log:

I'm stuck in 0.94.8 version, since the upgrade to 0.94.12 fails...

Sub - Sorry it's been a while since my last post (the issue with Xvid conversion I reported previously). Frankly, I'm stumped on this one. I managed to get a decent GBPVRConvert log and it is telling me that I don't have the LAME MP3 Audio Encoder installed. I wasn't aware that this was a requirement for comverting. What should I do?
