XRecord v.41

[jorm]

how about for the noposter I just alter the installer not to replace it if already there?

I will play with the other items.

Sounds good to me - no real hurry on those, they are more me being a bit anal rather than being real problems

Don't know if this was just a one-time thing or something. I deleted a show that just finsihed recording, but it only dropped it from the Ready list. The file was still there.

I had just finished watching it, and had started watching from Pending list (I exited out to let it move to Ready). It was 7min after, and SA could have still been running, so it may not be XRecord-related.

I suppose the only thing that could make XRecord bulletproof in that way would be to have it delete first, test for the file, and then drop the DB entry.

I noticed if Comskip is still running on a recording when I delete it, it removes it from the DB, but not doesn't actually delete the file. Since changing to run comskip at recording time, I haven't had this problem anymore.

[jorm]

actually I am calling GBPVR.Backend.Common.ScheduleHelper.getInstance().CancelScheduledRecording(recording); to remove it. I wonder if we can get sub to look at it?

Another thing I spotted a while ago, which isn't major but is a difference between xrecord and the built-in recordings, is that if you set in a post-show padding of say 10 minutes, at the scheduled show end-time the program dissappears from "pending", but doesn't arrive in "ready" until the padding is complete (confused me once when I was trying to locate a missing program which I was sure I had just recorded). In the default recordings plugin, the show remains in "pending" until the recording is complete.

cheers,

I found the trick for the colors is just to comment out the ones I don't want. I think I'm used to the Yahoo guide, where really just movies and sports were shaded to stand out next to shows. I get the feeling they don't send that classification, based on what I see in the description detail.

I'm still playing w/ the guide display. I do html all day, but xy pos w/o a real-time view is a painful procress. Do these layout allow for percents? That would a way I could play w/ layouts more dynamically in my head.

The reason I'm messing w/ it is also in part becasue my wife doesn't always wear her glasses, and our 27" is pretty far from the dining room table. I'm pretty close to getting 7 channels to be more visable.

Let me is movies is a category, and if percents can be used. No requests avove...just looking for info mostly.

Wait...is there a way to get colors into the Guide? I'm using Zap2It as an epg source but I'm getting no coloring of the Xguide at the moment - would definitely like it.

The only other real question I had is...why is the guide so much slower then the default one? Did I set something up wrong or...is it just naturally slower?

Great job, btw.

[jorm]

if you disable color coding it will become about as fast as the typical guide even if you dont see colors today. I have a switch to turn it completly off in it for the next release.

Necro, if you use zapimport <zaplogin> <zappassword> you will see the colors.

I do not believe it handles percents. I can look into it though.

As for the pending bug being moved. I am relying on the scheduled recording state to tell me where it goes. I wonder what the state is at that time.

Can you provide a list of files that get installed when the XRecord installer is run? Better yet, an uninstaller like some of the other plugins have.
