v0.95.14 maintenance release

[pens18aj]

i have another problem with the 95.14 release, when i try to delete a recording.
i get 2 error messages from windows that i can't delete the file or directory,
but when i click ok, gbpvr deleted the file anyway from hdd and database.
But the file isn't in my recyclebin, like the 95.11 release did it ...

yep same issue here.

Well I broke it. I edited config.xml to add the following lines:
<MAC-000DFE00800A>
<MVPWidth>612</MVPWidth>
<MVPHeight>448</MVPHeight>
<MVPOffsetX>44</MVPOffsetX>
<MVPOffsetY>16</MVPOffsetY>
</MAC-000DFE00800A>
<MAC-000DFE008EE7>
<MVPWidth>620</MVPWidth>
<MVPHeight>444</MVPHeight>
<MVPOffsetX>36</MVPOffsetX>
<MVPOffsetY>20</MVPOffsetY>
</MAC-000DFE008EE7>

I then restarted the recording service and then tried to run config. .NET gave the same exception error as I had before. Tried running GBPVR and also got an exception. I then put Config.xml back the way it was and the exceptions continue.

Its the editor you're using.

I took a close look at the config.xml file you attached, and there are many small differences. For example, "<SupportedDecoders>bitcontrol®" has the last characters as something entirely different in your file. There was a few other changes as well that could have broken things.

You'll need to go back to the original file. When you edit this file next time, just use notepad.exe. Dont you wordpad or any other oddball text editor.

One thing I noticed is, and I'm assuming it's the reload EPG, is that the gbpvr.mdb file gets pretty bloated. I was looking this morning, and it was 95Mb. After opening/closing the CP, it went down to 4.5Mb.

Is there a way to have the compact happen after the EPG?

No, not really. All softwares needs to be shutdown, and all connections need be removed from the database. This isnt so easy. The only place I can gaurantee this is when I stop and restart the recording service when you click the OK button in the config app.

I thought since the open/close of the CP did it, that the command could be generated somehow. Is it possible to have an option to do a CP-reload type function? Maybe roll in other functions like recordings export and maybe even a DB/critical pages backup option (like a restore point just for GB, of DBs, xml pages, and other critical/config items). I imagine it would not be possible w/o reloading GB itself, so it would need to be understood it could not be run at a time you plan on watching.

Most these things I can do myself, and do, but would be handy. I think it would be more important to the every-user who may not have the mind, time or means for manual maintainence or backups.

Same problem here.

Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk.

Is there a workaround, or do I need to uninstall 95.14 and try to find 95.11 to install again?

I'm working on a fix now.

If you dont have the recycle bin enabled, then enabling it should provide a work around.

I have the same problem (sometimes, not always), but I already have the recycle bin enabled. Anyways, the files still get deleted so it's not a big problem to have to hit OK an extra time.

I saw the same problem even though my Recycle bin was enabled - I played around with it's settings (i.e., one for all drives, different setting for each etc.) - no go!

I rebooted my machine and the problem went away. :confused:

Yep that was it. Sorry for wasting your time with something I should have noticed.

On another note I cannot delete a capture source in Config. I added one to be postitioned in the second spot, which fixes a problem I was having with no video on the PC, but when I try to remove the one I do not want and hit OK then config locks up. I then right click on the task bar item for config and close it, I then get a "program is not responding" dialog and hit the "end now" button to close it. When I return to config the capture source is still there. Repeats over and over.
