-OnlyUpdateEPG end task required

[Mister Slimm]

I have searched through the forums but have not come across anyone else with the same problem. If I can supply any more information than below, please request.

To create: I am using GBPVR v0.94.13. If I run GBPVR.exe with the -onlyupdateepg option or if I select Update EPG from the GBPVRtray.exe context menu, a small window titled "Information" appears with the text "Updating EPG - please wait".

The problem: The message never moves onto the next phase. If you move the mouse over the window, it is an hourglass. The window cannot be closed using the close button, Alt+F4 or the context menu on the task bar. To close it, I need to end task it from task manager.

My actions: This has happened on the last few versions of GBPVR for me (sorry, I dont remembered when I first noticed it but it happened before v0.94.13). With this latest version being the version for a while, I decided to empty my EPG, delete my recording sources, uninstall GBPVR and delete the devnz folder. I reinstalled (v0.94.13), re-added sources, setup my EPG (bleb) and it didn't make any difference. (It did get rid of a residual crashing skin issue though and the occasional appearance of an "object reference..." error, which was cool!)

Notes: The automatic EPG updating works fine, as does the Update EPG button the Config.exe utility.

The following is the gbpvr.exe.log file taken after running gbpvr.exe with the -onlyupdateepg command line parameter:

This problem still exists for me on v0.95.11.

I dont actually remember seeing this post, so it wasnt something I looked into.

Change your logging level back to debug, then reproduce the problem, then post the logs and I'll take a look.

[Mister Slimm]

Thanks for reply, here is the "debug" log for gbpvr.exe.log. Due to length I have inserted an ellipses but the log shows an endless loop of some sort.

I dont know. This log looks fine to me.

[Mister Slimm]

Previous log was a bit short. Have edited post to show that log goes on infinitely. I once left the fellow all afternoon and it never ever ever finishes.

Just use the 'update epg' button in the config app instead.

Just use the 'update epg' button in the config app instead.

The auto-update tends to work more often than not but, yes, that's the way I've been doing manual updates anyhow. Thanks for responding to the post, anyways.

I have added a couple of diagnostic messages in the next release which may give more info. It wont correct the problem, but may give more visibility of what is happening.
