Quote:I'm probably dumb, but where do you make your recordings-schedule then, you have to see some guide or.... HtV, I am confident you are not dumb  I do use the EWA when I have to. It's just that my viewing habit is to record all episodes of any show that I want to follow and delete the episodes I don't want to watch via my television/MVP.

A season recording always links to one of these programmes, so that it can show info like the title etc in the Recordings screen.

Sub,
When I run my program it places an entry in the Recording_schedule table only. If I then run the config program, and Update the EPG from there, it will populate the programme table for me. How can I duplicate that action?

If I may....
The reason you aren't getting anyone to help write a program, is the consensus seems to be 'why write a program if it's not necessary'? And so everyone goes about showing you how it's not necessary. I agree. It's not necessary to write a program that would call the config.exe. I write in VB6. I have been successful in manually adding reccurring events into the database,and then triggering GB-PVR to populate the pending items... From reading this thread, I think I noticed you missing one thing, I just can't remember off hand what it is. I will have a look at my code again... BTW, what language do you use?

Quote:If I may.... FrankZ, Thank you for your response. I'm not trying to call the config.exe program - I am trying to duplicate one specific function of it - UpdateEPG (without using .NET) If you happen to think of what I'm missing please let me know. I program in several languages. For Windows machines I use Delphi (Pascal) for the majority of my code. I can read VB, C, C++, etc so any examples in those languages would be helpful.

I can't see the 99.12 survival guide around any more but I have all the patches available so if you send me your email address via a private message on the forum, I can email it to you. Sub: Which patch fixed the -onlyemptyepg / -onlyupdateepg from the command line bug. was it the recording service or backendcommon update?
