RenameRecording

[jsteele]

Are there any plans to update RenameRecording and RecTracker for the SQLite database? According to the Wiki the current versions do not support the new db.

There are plans, but since I don't plan on updating yet from .96 until I see some features that I can't live without it may be a while. Plus I have other non-hobby stuff taking up most of my time now. Source code is available on the wiki and anybody is free to update it, just give credit back to the orginal contributors to the code base is all I ask.

Buried about page 5 in the original renamerecording thread, is a link to renamerecordingS.
I use it successfully with the latest gbpvr and database.

Also the "addepisode" utility mentioned in the same thread works great with SQLite

Are you using the Access database or the new SQLite?

Thanks.

i have written a completely new utility called "addepisode" that is built for the sqlite database. It can be found here.

This is ONLY for the sqlite database, if you have not upgraded, than you can continue to use the renamerecording utility.

Also, i plan to release an update to my utility within the next few days that will add a bit more functionality to the basic "addepisode"

Let me know if you have any problems with it.

I also have a rectracker-like utility that I made for myself...I'll have to look at it again to get it cleaned up for release.

turkey - when you update your utility can you post a new thread either in the developers forum or community announcements?
that way we have a single place to discuss (and access) addepisode..
thanks

can someone post or IM me the old GBPVR v96 or v97 install file so I can use PriorityRecordings, RenameRecording, RecTracker and the like. I never would have upgraded had I known these apps would no longer work with the SQLite database versions.

Thanks.

you don't need an old version, just switch your db back to the mdb.
find this string
<!-- Database settings -->
change from
<DatabaseConnectionString>Data Source=".\gbpvr.db3";Version=3;New=True;</DatabaseConnectionString>
<DatabaseProviderFactory>System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteFactory</DatabaseProviderFactory>
<DatabaseIdentityQuery>select last_insert_rowid()</DatabaseIdentityQuery>
to
<DatabaseConnectionString>Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=".\gbpvr.mdb";User Id=admin;Password=</DatabaseConnectionString>
<DatabaseProviderFactory>System.Data.OleDb.OleDbFactory</DatabaseProviderFactory>
<DatabaseIdentityQuery>select @@identity</DatabaseIdentityQuery>
remember you will have to update your epg, and you will have to reschedule any recordings, as they will be lost. and also remember, no one forced you to upgrade your database to sql, it is still optional.

This "addepisode" plugin in now renaming my files just fine! Thanks.

Do you know why the native "Recordings" in GBPVR does not display the episode name in its listings? It only shows the show name and date recorded. It would be great if GBPVR could pick-up the episode name from your plugin.
