UltraXMLTV Enhancer Version 2 - rc1

[TomR]

When you noticed that, did ultra fetch anything at all except prepare itself for enhancing?

I have that progress bar doing a few things just before enhance, and I know that one or two of the routines don't actually bring the progress bat to 100%. It's suppose to zero shortly before Enhance begins. Looks like it's not...

On another note, I discovered that Ultra looks quite differently when XP themes are activated (I always have them off) so I tweaked the program to look better with XP themes enabled...)

So I'll check out your note before I release another cosmetic fix. Good news is that I haven't been tweaking the logic very much at all...

I have got Ultra Post working I think...

Did I foget to post a screenshot?
I was in the middle of enhancing a couple of thousand records in. I don't remember if it had done any fetches yet or not.

Attached is the screenshot I forgot.

I noticed a problem with the episode detection for 24 last night.
I use Zehd's Picks for the tags so should I not be getting the season episode number in the format of S05E13?

Here is the info from the XML file before enhancing...

I sure at some point before I was getting proper SeasEpNum* for 24.

24 is an example that is so radically different (with all it's punctuation) that Ultra can't get the SeasEpNum for it (Not with so much playing that I'd rather wait till the season is over...

The number that you're seeing is the EpOnScreen Number. (Which will display if SeasEpNum is "" and you're using Zehd's Picks...

There are some shows that will use a Production code there, or a episode number (Like the 157th show) or something that is suspiciously similar to a seasEpNum. The last case is too random (and arbitrarily set by studios) for me to count on and do something with...

Sorry, but I don't wanna worry about this one... (not right now at least)

I think you forgot to upload the new version to the wiki. I download it and get version 24676.

[TomR]

When fetching a XML file for a series it indicates the progress of the download using a progress bar (graphical) and the status bar (descriptive) along the bottom of the screen.

As the file downloads the progress bar and status bar seem to work fine. Once the download has been completed, the progress bar is fully lit indicating 100% complete but the status bar shows a message like "... (0 of 184.82 download)". This is a little misleading. Did it successful download or not? (I know the file download just fine, but the screen output is misleading.)

Also, is it possible to indicate the unit of measurement in the status bar? e.g. 184.82 KB

[TomR]

If you click "stop" during an enhancement, the progress bar does not appear to be showing the correct progress once the XML file is written and the status bar and Main tab indicate 'Done'.

There status message still needs a little work.

While the file is being downloaded the message is OK. It now shows 'KB'. But once completed it is removing the 'KB'.

Also, once the file download has been completed it seems to stay in the status bar until there is another fetch started. Is this done intentionally?

[TomR]

On the TS tab, when you click on either "Is thetvdb.com online?" or "Is EPGTools.com online?" should the message box say True/False or Yes/No or Online/Not Online? The last option would be my preference.

The "Create UpdateEPG.bat" button does not seem to work for me. When I click it it open my default editor but that's it. Should it not open a blank UpdateEPG.bat file? Does it try to create a file before trying to open it? If so, where is it trying to create the file?

Where is it looking to determine if an UpdateEPG.bat file exists. IN a GB-PVR folder? If so then it should probably be disabled if GB-PVR does not exist similar to what was done on the Manual tab.
