EPGExtra - new tool adds date, ratings, repeat, CC, Stereo to program descriptions.

[David]

David - Are you running a fresh install or an upgrade from 97.9?

I upgraded from 97.9 to 97.13. I had patched 97.9 with everything I could find prior to upgrading. I had already moved to the SQLite DB before the upgrade.

GBPVR 97.13, SQlite, win2K
config.xml still has <SaveZap2itXML> set to "true"

I am also seeing the error. From aplication log:
(I'll get the info from the error popup next time I see it)
-------------------
EventType clr20r3, P1 epgextra.exe, P2 1.0.0.0, P3 44800ae8, P4 epgextra, P5 1.0.0.0, P6 44800ae8, P7 1f, P8 e, P9 system.io.fileloadexception, P10 NIL.
------------------
and from epgextra.log:
---------------------
EPGExtra will add these extra items to the GBPVR program description:
Year Released
Star Rating
First Aired Date
Repeat Flag
MPAA Rating
Closed Captions
Stereo

To suppress individual items, the following command line parms may be used:
-nomoviedate
-nostarrating
-noairdate
-norepeat
-norating
-noCC
-nostereo
(ie. EPGExtra -norepeat -noCC -nostereo)

To rollback all previous changes, use -undo

This version should work correctly for 97.13 with SQLite: [ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

Tipstir - let me know if this version works with your MS Access installation. If so (and no further problems are reported), I'll update the wiki.

Thanks! I'll give it a whirl and let you know if the problems are gone.

Ubu,

Thanks again. Now I know whats a repeat.

Thanks for the fix, ran it manually with the batch file and it updated normally. much appreciated.

OK - I've put the new version on the wiki. FYI - this version includes a new flag "HD" (for HDTV broadcasts). The "CC" (closed captions) flag has been dropped.

Thanks for helping me figure out the problem, y'all.

ubu, this program has stopped working or hasn't start up?

Try running it from the command line and see if you get an error message. That would give us a clue.

One thing that can happen (it's happened to me a few times) is, if the Zap2it download fails at any point, Zap2it will transmit a SOAP message which winds up in the xml file. This can cause EPGExra to fail since it sees it as invalid XML.

Hi Forum,

Will this work with the newest version of GBPVR?

[kaiger]

Yes, it works fine with the latest version.
