Guide2j Enhancements

Richard · 2005-08-11, 02:16 PM

When I tried to setup a program in Guide2J using the advance button with recording Type set to All, then clicking on more and change the pre and post padding to 0 leaving duplicates as false, I receive the following error:

Error: Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute

It then kicked me out to the main menu without setting up the program.

When I went back into Guide2J the setup window for the program was there.

The show does not show up in color in Guide2J, but it does show up in XRecord's Scheduler.

I am not able to repro it. Do you have the gbpvr.exe.log? When you use advanced it gets added to the priorityrecordings.xml but not the scheduled database until epg update. In xrecord you can hit stop and run cdk at any time and it will get added.

Very very minor update.

2005â08â11 v5.1
Fixed installer bug that did not install the zapimport.exe and zapdb.mdb
Included the latest cdk scheduler (with suspend and resume).

Hello Jorm,

I have replicated the error and can email you the log file. What email address would you like me to email the file to?

I have run the postupdateepg.bat file and it still does not update the program in Guide2J.

hey jorm could you add support for genre tagging from xmltv sources? just re read in the xmltv file gbpvr uses and if the genre info is supplied add it. also could you use the show icon in the display (im not sure if zap2it supplies a show icon, but xmltv can, and my source does).

I wonder if it would be best to write an xmlimporter (instead of the zapimporter) to populate the database with the common fields? Are you interested? The source is posted on wiki. That way I dont have to conditionalize all of the logic to say if xmltv do this if zap2it do this. And others can write their own hooks.

yeah i would do this, just have to make sure that not all information is needed, like i cant guarantee on the genre information for every channel (i can for about 70% of shows) etc. the information i can get thru xmltv (once again for about 70% of shows)
genres (multiple)
rating (eg R18)
aspectratio
director
actors
movie or show
