NEWA Auto-Search Command Line Interface (CLI)

[bgowland]

Thanks Alex - I couldn't work out which log to look at (the wiki docs for the EWA version of the CLI suggested it created a separate log but I couldn't find anything like it for the NEWA version). Your pointer meant I did find this in npvr.log.1 however...

Code:

2011-06-17 20:59:50.041    [INFO][1]    Auto Search has not yet been executed today....
2011-06-17 20:59:51.681    [INFO][1]    Setting last auto search date to today so this routine does not run again until tommorow....

I had a look in config-web.xml and saw...

Code:

<autoSearchDays>2</autoSearchDays>

but can confirm running those saved searches in NEWA shows results for tomorrow so they're within that window.

I did notice the following as well though...

Code:

<autoShowRecord>False</autoShowRecord>

but both searches in the web-saved-searches.xml show

Code:

autoRecordSearch="True"

Hmmm. :confused:

From my config-web.xml

Code:

<autoShowSearch>True</autoShowSearch>
      <autoShowRecord>True</autoShowRecord>
      <autoSearchDays>2</autoSearchDays>

and from my web-saved-searches.xml

Code:

<Search id="Match of the Day">
    <SearchVersion>3.0</SearchVersion>
    <SearchName autoShowSearch="True" autoRecordSearch="True" caseSensitiveSearch="False">Match of the Day</SearchName>
    <SearchTitle>True</SearchTitle>
    <SearchSubTitle>False</SearchSubTitle>
    <SearchDescription>False</SearchDescription>
    <MatchTitle>False</MatchTitle>
    <MatchSubTitle>False</MatchSubTitle>
    <MatchDescription>False</MatchDescription>
    <StartTitle>False</StartTitle>
    <StartSubTitle>False</StartSubTitle>
    <StartDescription>False</StartDescription>
    <SearchPhrase>match of the day</SearchPhrase>

Maybe have a look in your web-saved-searches.xml to see how each search is set up?

Thanks again Alex.

I'm wondering if the config-web.xml entry for

Code:

<autoShowRecord>False</autoShowRecord>

is overriding the

Code:

autoRecordSearch="True"

attribute in the web-saved-searches.xml <Search Name> elements.

I'll wait until after midnight and try again with it set to true.

[bgowland]

Yep...the

Code:

<autoShowRecord>...</autoShowRecord>

setting in config-web.xml is the 'master switch' and overrides the individual search entries.

Cheers,

My apologies Brian - I completely forgot about the Enable AutoRecord setting on the NEWA Config tab.

Anyway, it's great that it's now working. I couldn't be without it now - it schedules about 99% of my recordings...

Ah...so that's where it is.

As I don't use NEWA very much I'm not familiar with the layout (rookie mistake - I should have guessed).

Yes, it looks pretty good. I'll run it manually each day for a while until I figure out what I want to search for (the answer is 42 but are you sure you know what the question is? ).

Cheers,

First post updated with latest release bringing NEWA AutoSearch in-line with the search functionality in NEWA.

Hi UJB - I notice that the attachment has been dropped. Would you be able to upload it again?
