Help - not a NET programmer

[jdonth]

Help!

I need a program that will duplicate the UpdateEPG command within the Config program:

Run Config.exe
Select the "Capture Sources" tab
Highlight the first source
Click on "Edit" button
Click on "UpdateEPG" button.

I need it to run in the PostUpdateEPG.bat file after updating the XMLTV.

I hope I'm not asking for something weird. If so, please accept my apologies and point me to a non-net solution.

Thanks,
Joe

why do you need this
im sure if you read the wiki on bat files their is something like this from memory

and why again doesnt this already happen automatcally

[gEd]

"C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\GBPVR.exe" -OnlyUpdateEPG

[pBS]

try gbpvr [or pvrx2.exe] -OnlyUpdateEPG [or -UpdateEPG which runs post processing as well]

You probably should run that in updateepg.bat, it will run the commands in the batfile first (your xmltv appl.) When it's finished it wil update EPG from the generated xml file.

Thanks for the tips and suggestions but gbpvr -OnlyUpdateEPG or running the UpdateEPG.bat file doesn't work for me.

Since I don't know .NET I have been unable to take advantage of the IScheduleHelper class and its associated functions so I am writing directly into the gbpvr.db3 file, inserting reoccurring transactions directly into the RECORDING_SCHEDULE table. (Please don't yell, OK?).

The UpdateEPG logic does NOT repopulate the RECORDING_SCHEDULE from the reoccurring (TYPE 5) transactions. However, the Config program, UpdateEPG button DOES.

I imagine a small program the issues the "Hey, I'm from Config and I want you to really update the EPG" to the GBPVR service.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you selected "complete epg reload" on gbpvr-config-capture sources?

Yes I have.

What exactly is your problem, what exactly does "repopulate" mean in this context, I'm just curious, I have a lot of re-occurring shows and never have any problems.

I believe this only applies to the daily scheduled EPG update and not manual updates.

...so I am writing directly into the gbpvr.db3 file, inserting reoccurring transactions directly into the RECORDING_SCHEDULE table. (Please don't yell, OK?).

But WHAT are you writing into the DB exactly and why? Understanding what it is you're trying to achieve would help.

Have you tried restarting the GBPVR recording service? I'm not sure if this will trigger a full DB schedule scan - can't remember. You can do this from the command-line (or batch file) using NET STOP <servicename>, NET START <servicename>
