TV Listings 2 - Support Thread

[gEd]

bingo! All pending recordings now appear.

Is this also the cause of the invalid programme_oid ?

Hi,

no, this happened most likely due to an epg update while the plugin was opened with the outdated show info.
I thought that I had built in some logic to reload the guide data automatically, but that may not work so reliable. There are already some improvements built in for the next version, that will hopefully avoid such things.

Hi there,

firstly many thanks for a great plugin that I've been using for a while now.

Question: In the default TV Guide it shows 'no show details' for empty slots in the EPG. With TV Listings I get no feedback at all if there is no EPG data, as per BBC3 and BBC4 in the attached image:

Firstly have I set up something incorrectly, should there be some details listed as in 'no show details'.

If not would it be possible to have info like this inserted into empty time slots in the EPG so that at least something shows rather than an empty space?

I guess I could 'fake' some listings in an XML file for channels I know that don't broadcast at certain times but this seems a bit clumsy.

Cheers

No, that's the normal behaviour for missing programme information in tv listings. When there's nothing to display, nothing will be displayed.

Although I don't see a use for filling such gaps, I will think about adding an option to do so in a future release - I think someone already requested that some time ago.

Thanks for your reply Alibert,

I just prefer to see something rather than an empty space! Once again, great Plugin, the multi-guide function is just brilliant!

I would love to use this plugin, but I have a strange problem with it. I have 2 capture source:

1) defined in graphRecorder plugin
2) avermedia m038

I have problem timeshifting with source 1 but strangely not with source 2. When I try to timeshift with source 1, I get an error "... no tuner is available..." and I get the following in the GBPVRRecordingService.exe.log:

2008-06-05 17:23:34.359 VERBOSE [7] Looking for missing assembly in C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\plugins\TV Listings: DirectShowLib, Version=1.5.0.29121, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=67e7b740cdfc2d3f

However, I dont get any error with source 2 :confused:

Thanks,

it seems that your "graphRecorder plugin" is built on direct show .net, and so needs the corrsponding assembly to work. gbpvr / .net is obviously looking for the .dll / .exe in the wrong places when you're inside the tv listings plugin.
To solve the issue, you could try and copy the DirectShowLib-file that should be bundled with the recorder plugin into the plugins\common subdirectory.

Yes, that worked. And now I have another problem My guide just lists channels, no schedules, as there are none availabe and I havent built one up just yet (I plan to do it later). When I view the guide thru the plugin, I cant change to any channels. Double clicking on the first time slot (the current one) doesnt do anything.

Btw, are there any options to replace the current listing name with a combo. I know that you can change the listing name with the remote or Ctrl-Y, but using a mouse to select from the combo would be very nice.

you can just press play to start live tv on the current channel.

no, something like this is not implemented, but I' going to add a clickable region to toggle the guides with the mouse.

The play button's keyboard equivalent is Ctrl-Q?

Ok, cant wait to see this feature implemented.
