Few recordings issues (minor)

[zvm]

Hello,

1. I have one minor annoyance with 1.4.7. If I delete recordings file somewhere else but not in Recordings section (i.e., directly on file system or even through Video Library) I can still see that entry in Recordings. Of course, I cannot play it (only delete).
With previous versions it was not the case. If I have deleted file, that file would have dissapeared from Recordings listing as well.

2. automated transcoding doesn't work for some recordings. Maybe it is due to Croatian special characters in file/folder names for those recordings. But, then for some other it works... It is possible that different special characters are used - so it works with some, and not with the others.
Are those assumptions correct?

3. Why is possibility to choose whether I want transcoding or not (and what kind) dissapeared from PVRX2? No, you can only set it in Config for all recordings.

4. Recordings still create empty subtitle file if teletext option is on. This wasn't the case before 1.3.x.

In the end, neither of those is really big problem or something too annoying. Just minor glitches, in my view.
Thanks for any comments!

Make sure you have the following in your config.xml file, and it'll do what you want.

[SIZE=2]<[/SIZE][SIZE=2]AutoRemoveMissingRecordings[/SIZE][SIZE=2]>[/SIZE]true[SIZE=2]</[/SIZE][SIZE=2]AutoRemoveMissingRecordings[/SIZE][SIZE=2]>

Maybe, I dont know. I've never tested with Croatian special characters. If you confirm that is the cause, let me know one of the example bad file names and i'll try it here.

You can still transcode in the Video Library, unless of course you're using a skin which doesnt have buttons in the video library (like the Slick skin).

2. I did some testing this problem occurs with characters ć, Ć, č, Č. If you cannot read those characters, their ACSII codes are respectively: 263, 262, 269, 268

I assume the problem is because those characters are not even in extended ASCII(up to 255). however, those and some neighboring from ASCII table are quite common in eastern european languages. Other softwares also usually suffers from this.

3. I thought on situation when I schedule recordings. With previous versions you could choose whether you want that particular recording immediately transcode and in what format, or not.
Now you can transcode everything (in chosen format) or nothing. Or via Video Library manually.
But I would like to have choice. For instance, I don't want to transcode one-off recordings. But I want to transcode series. this situation was supported before.
anyway, not that big issue....
