Enhanced Web Admin

I've been using your latest release and it seems to be working fine.


Didn't know if you had saw my post in the Wishlist Forum or not...

Web Record Enhancement

Can anyone advise me on what settings in ZoneAlarm I need to do?
  No ZoneAlarm - works
  ZoneAlarn - doesn't work

If I disable ZoneAlarm, do the GBPVR login and then re-anable ZoneAlarm it works OK. ZoneAlarm seems to prevent the login screen (and there's a "Error finding config.xml " in black text in the top left corner).

I don't know if you guys were aware of this or not, but you can look up movies by the prefix in the unique_identifier column in the PROGRAMME table. It's "MV". To look up sports, it's "SP", tv series are "EP", and everything else, mostly live tv is "SH".

I made some ASP pages a while back for my personal use based on this. It pulls up all the show names under a given category. Click on a show name, and it then lists all the episodes available for that show, click on the episode and it shows you all the times it airs and on what channels and let's you record any of them. I mainly made it for movies. This works for zap2it listings, I'm not sure if it's the same for xmltv. If there's interest in browsing the listings this way I can convert the pages to ASP.NET to add to the enhanced web admin, and add the enhanced recording functionality to the pages. If you want to preview them, just download the code, and create a new virtual site in IIS. The interface isn't pretty, but it gets the job done.gbpvr_search.zip (not the enhanced web admin)

I also made a page that shows the duplicate shows, and let's you remove them by changing the start and end times for the recordings (they'd come back under different methods I tried) Doing this also removes the listing from the tv guide in gbpvr, but it keeps the duplicate shows from recording. Use this at your own risk, lol.

Can't seem to get the default page to load.....do I need to setup an ODBC connection or something? Here is the error I am getting:

The page cannot be displayed
There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed.

I set it up to grab the connection string from config.xml. I'm using MSDE as my database, and wasn't having problems. I tried it w/ the default access db conn string & found some problems. The conn string is in vars.asp. If you're using MSDE just comment out line 12 and it should work fine. Otherwise it should work fine now with a default GBPVR install.

The unique_identifier field is only filled by Zap2it data imports. The XMLTV and Bleb importers don't populate that field :-(

After getting the connection string straightend out I also had to figure out what was wrong with the query string....as it turned out Access doesn't like the single quote around a date. The date params needed to have # signs around them instead.

I like the fuctionality as an advanced search. It is really handy.

Since it is only available with Zap2it I think it should be coded to only be availble if you are using that service. That way it is available to you if you would like to use it and it would not be available to anoy you if you don't use zap2it.

I think the results listing could be enhanced by adding a few features:

Change the record link to a check box.
Add radio buttons on the line for recording quality.
Add a radio buton to select all shows.
Add a radio button to set all recording quality to high, medium or low.
Add a sumbit button to process all your selections at once.

Hi!

I'm trying to use the source provided to play around with the Web Admin in SharpDevelop, I've referenced all the right DLLs, just a quick question; what is or how do I go about defining the entry point for compilation? I assume it's index.aspx.cs?

Thanks!

Only .exe files have entry points. You want to be making a .dll file.

[joshley]

Ah gbweb.dll!
Yes, changed to Project Options to compile to a Library, all sorted!
Ta Sub!
