Guide2j Enhancements

jorm · 2005-08-08, 09:45 PM

I have had problems with it too. I just posted a more stable version on the new wiki.

I fixed a lot of object reference not found. There were problems where you delete a recording and it would not clear from guide2j but would be removed from the pending list. And I found that if the gbpvrbackend .dll (something like that) is in the plugin directory gbpvr does not let you schedule. So I wrote an installer that will delete it since it does not belong there.

You do not need to use the CDK scheduler it will be setup for you but you dont need to use it.

If you have tried the guide2j in the past and stopped using it please try it again, and if you have any errors send me the log and I will get it working.

I'm in good health... I'm a small business owner and my company won a huge contract.

Thanks again for picking this up.

jrock - Best wishes for the business. Do you have a web site for it?

given the new version a quick go and it seems more stable. A couple of quick comments although I will keep testing:
1. I used the plugin, set up a recording, quick back to main ment using esc on the kbd. I then went back in to guide2j and:
a. Cursor left/right skipped 2 hours at a time
b. Cursor up/down put me back to the main menu with a "object ref........"
This time I was able to enter the plugin straight away and it did the same again.
When I went back in a Nth time (cant remember) I pressed ctrl-Y altered a setting, came back to the guide and all was normal again.

2. When I move the cursor around the screen it isn't going to the shows I think it should be. Sometimes the cursor is on a show, I move the cursor down and the "green highlight" goes away. It has actually gone off the left of the screen as when I cursor right a few time it comes back. If I cursor down again instead of doing the cursor rights sometimes it appears on a show 2 channels down if you see what I mean. Difficult to explain.

I'm recording a "Wife Acceptance Factor" show and I don't want to upset it so i'll leave it alone for a while now.

Cheers

smeghead,

I am having problems repro it. Are you using the blue skin? If not did you copy the blue skin guide2j directory to your skin folder?

I'm using the default blue skin. I am also having problems reproducing this now. The one in a 100 time it does it but nothing in the logs. I'm not certain what exactly the key presses are that causes it so i'll keep investigating.

I have another one for you though. I set up some personal guides - you know what I mean, one that lists just the kids shows for example. When I set the guide to kids there are no shows listed at all. If I press any key to navigate, coloured buttons etc I get thrown back to the main menu with an "Object not set...."

Any ideas?

Oh just noticed that the time and date that are displayed are in the past, like 4 hours ago.

Any ideas?

EDIT:
After doing ctrl-Y and selecting other filters with no more luck I removed all filters and its still the same. I am able to scroll left and right now but no shows or channel ids are listed. The bar at the top has the red markings to identify when shows will be recorded. If I try the up / down keys I get the "Object not set...." error
