EPG text cut?

[narkuma]

Hi,

the description of most of the shows does not fit in the window of the TV Guide. So the text is cut.
Is it possible to show all of it? is there a key or shortcut I do n ot know?

HOW?

[Chris.Day]

I think there are limits to how long an entry can be in the database (255 characters or something like that).

[narkuma]

F*ck!

sub, can this be changed? perhaps I just have to change the field in the gbpvr.mdb to type "text"?

[birty]

access databases have a maximum field sixe of 255 chars, there is no simple way to change it

[nemulate]

Unless you use a memo field instead of a text field which can store 65,536 characters!

[narkuma]

Yepp!

but still... I guess GBPVR will not be able to show them all...

sub, Your turn!

[sub]

What do you mean my turn?

Yes, its limited to 256 characters. Its been this way since the project began.

[narkuma]

Hm, I thought You would agree that it would be nice to have the full EPG text in GBPVR...

(I HOPED that a high rating of the thread would make You look in it!)

I have got this on my to do list as something to solve in the future, but I couldnt tell you when that might happen. Its to messy dealing with the memo fields in access, so I wanted stick with standard text fields for now. Changing this would also break a whole lot of plugins too.

If it is on Your list, I am happy and will patiently wait.

Thanx sub!
