ecorbin....I'll take a look at this....It may be a week till I can get it done...leaving on vaction in a day or two and will be limited to good old dial-up.....

oooh...dial-up -- that hurts! :eek: I was limited to that myself for a few days recently.

Thanks for looking into this whenever you can. Have a great vacation!

Well....I was up late tonight....it was an easy add-in. I have sent the update to normanr and he should be able to include it with his next release.

[normanr]

build 21 is out, it adds more support for ZapTools information (Manage Recordings Page). Again, thanks to UncleJohnsBand for the patches.

I have Zaptools install but it seems to be complaining about this line as a runtime error:

Line 298:
Line 299: //Add the show Genre to the line
Line 300: if (ZapTools.getGenre(programme.getUniqueProgrammeIdentifier()) != "Unknown" && ZapTools.getGenre(programme.getUniqueProgrammeIdentifier())!= "")
Line 301: {
Line 302: description = description + "<br>" + "Type : " + ZapTools.getGenre(programme.getUniqueProgrammeIdentifier());

Do you have a line in your postupdateepg.bat file to run zapimport? The database needs to be populated nightly following the normal EPG update.

It is also expecting that the zapdb.mdb is in the same diretory where you installed GBPVR. It pulls the install location for gbpvr from the registry.

Let me know.

Update: This does seem to be an introduced bug....I have been able to duplicate it when I set a season recording...do you have a season recording set?

I am going on vaction for a week starting tommorrow.....I will have my laptop but limited access to dial-up only. I will see what I can figure out.

normanr doesn't have access to zap2it so he may not be able to help.

Thanks for the quick reply. You are correct, I did not have the lin ein the postupdateepg.bat file. This may needed to be added to the install instructions for ZapTools. I will try it out when I get home from work.

Thanks for your work on the web interface, it's the best feature of gbpvr after recording!

[normanr]

can you paste a copy of the stack trace from the error too, thanks.

You should just need to add a line to the .bat file:

zapimport userid password

(where userid and password) are your zap2it credentials.

I have supplied normanr with a fix for this bug. I will be researching how season recordings work within the enhanced web admin to ensure that future issues do not arise.

I want to also note that it appears that the extended zaptools data is not appearing on all entries on the Manage Recording page only. It is there when you record and then the next day it may or may not be there. I will be researching what is occuring during the nightly EPG update that is impacting the link between the standard GBPVR EPG data and the extended zaptools data.

Here's the stack trace you asked for:

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
gbweb.Manage.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) in C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\web\Manage.aspx.cs:300
System.Web.UI.Control.OnLoad(EventArgs e) +55
System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() +27
System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain() +731

I seem to be getting the same error, even after zapimport successful ran.
