SearchWiz - New Plugin

[mugun]

Works like a charm, Thanks for the work been done and looking forward to more features.

I just noticed that I get the Object reference error now prior to the screen that comes up and asks the parameters for the recording to be scheduled. I.E. as soon as I hit OK on a show time that would conflict is when I get the error now instead of after the scheduling parameters dialog.

i just schedule 2 shows that will have conflict and i don't have any error, the only pop up that i got was letting me know the already scheduled shows for that time frame.

Feature suggestion, can you implement a feature for pending request, that is, the plugin list pending scheduled recordings

2. Manual recording

Basically, am trying to see if you can replicate the default Recording plugin.

This sounds like the 2 DLLs are out-of-sync. Try:

1. Download most current zip file
   
2. Shut down the recording service
   
3. Replace both DLLs from the zip: gbpvr/WizUtilities.dll and gbpvr/Plugins/SearchWiz.dll (note the utilties are at the gbpvr level, not Plugins sub-dir)
   
4. Restart recording service
   
5. Launch gbpvr and try search again.

If that does not work, upload the SearchWiz.log file and I'll take a look.

1. pending request, that is, the plugin list pending scheduled recordings
2. Manual recording

So if I understand, you'd like to be able to display all pending and manual recordings. I'm trying to envision what the UI would look like for this and what type of functionality to enable for items in the list(s).

• Is the idea that there would be an additional button on the side to display these lists?
  
• Should these list(s) have any functionality (ie play, modify, delete,...) or would a list simply suffice?

Yes.

* Should these list(s) have any functionality (ie play, modify, delete,...) or would a list simply suffice?

No to play and modify, since it is just listing pending request only
Yes to delete a pending scheduled recording

i hope this answer your question.

That is how I upgraded before.. More info for you. I have a show that is recording right now and when I do a search for shows most shows in the same time slot show no yellow indicator as a potential conflict, I found another show that is showing a yellow indicator. Now If I schedule the show with the yellow indicator I am then properly asked via popup If I want to watch the show that is currently recording because no tuners are available, so that part works. However If I schedule one of the shows that conflicts and does not have the yellow indicator (the majority) then I get an Object reference error. OK that was an example against a show that is currently recording, if I do a search that hs results with shows at the same time as a future scheduled recording then it shows no yellow indicators and when I try to schedule I get the Object reference error.
Maybe my Database is too large, I have 11 days of Zap2it data for Directv 200+ channels 31+ meg..

I also noticed with the new version that if I do a search and try to schedule a show to record that DOES NOT conflict with any recording I have scheduled that I also get an Object reference error every time. So now I am getting the error whether it conflicts or not. The only case that seems to work as it should is when a result shows a yellow indicator and I try to schedule I get a proper dialog asking what I want to do.

I would also like to increase the font size of the show description, it is pretty illegible on a 27" from 8' away, can I increase this in the skin file?

Ok, I've created version 0.3.3. The installer now stops the recording service prior to the install, then restarts after install completes.

I've added additional logging since I cannot seem to recreate your problem.

• Download new version
  
• Stop GBPVR
  
• Then install and try again.

If the error persists, send me the new logs and I'll see if I can figure out what's going on.

BTW: I increased the font size for the program description. Let me know if that looks better for your setup.

Heres another log after doing as instructed. Both searches give an Object reference error when I hit OK on a time slot. Tonight show search would have been a conflict and Conan O'brien would not be a conflict. When I search for a show that is currently recording it correctly shows a green indicator and when I hit ok on the timeslot it correctly asks if I want to watch it. Hope this helps.
