nDroid v1.2.x (Beta) support thread

[BrettB]

There should be one more - did you uninstall the nDroidService before you moved it? If not, stop the service (if it's running) and put it back where you originally had it.

Yes, I ran the unstall.bat before I tried moving it. And I can't stop the service because it won't start. What I posted is from the only logfile that gets created when I try to start the service, but it won't start. And the service control manager says:

Code:

Windows could not start the ndroidservice on the local computer.

Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

OK, I checked the Application Event Log and found the following:

Ah, OK, thanks - that explains a bit more.

I was wondering if this was a permissions issue but I think I may have missed something with the x64 stuff. I'll take a look.

@BrettB: Could you try the latest upload when you have the time (see post #1). I'm hoping it fixes the x64 issue.

[Nistrod]

I am still having the timezone issue. The Midday Report is shown as 02:00.

That version lets the service startup OK.

[BrettB]

I got the application to install on my Motorola Atrix and startup OK.

The first thing that I noticed is that the times for programs are wrong. On channel WCCO-DT, it is showing on Sat at 01:00, "The Defenders*" set to record. But, that should actually be on Fri at 19:00. And each subsequent show is off by the same amount there on WCCO-DT on Sat. This offset sort of makes sense to me since my timezone (US-CST) is GMT-6, so it seems to be displaying those in GMT rather than the local timezone that the phone is in.

The next thing I did was try to schedule a one-time recording. When I do that, the application on the droid hangs and has to be force exited. In the server log, I see:

I am still having the timezone issue. The Midday Report is shown as 02:00.

Hmm, I'd hoped I'd fixed that. I'll look at it tonight.

That version lets the service startup OK.

OK, that's good to hear, thanks.

[bgowland]

Yes Nistrod reported this for my first version - I'd hoped I was adjusting for local time in this version but it obviously isn't fixed. I'll get a look at it ASAP.

Code:

11/03/2011 14:21:26.003 hrhkey.Key: x-ndroid-title hrhkey.Value: The People's Court *

Hmmm, I don't like the look of that title - is that really what it should be with the '*' at the end?

Yes, the '*' is really at the end of the title and indicates that it is a "new" show.
