SearchWizX2 - PVRX2 version released.

[JavaWiz]

I've just uploaded the PVRX2 version (v1.0.0) of SearchWiz on the Wiki. It is still missing some features of the prior v0.5.2 version, in particular:

* create multi-line label for help and IMDB lookup
* On screen keyboard
* User configurable Help screen
* Enable default maintence settings in config panel
* IMDB lookup for shows with specified genre

I will be adding these features back as time allows.

Note: When installing with GBPVR 1.0.8, manually copy gbpvr/Plugins/common/WizUiHelper.DLL to gbpvr/WizUiHelper.DLL.

I've just given the SearchWiz plugin a try and I can't get it to appear in the config app after I install it. I'm using pvrx2, attached are my logs if they help.

I'm giving it a try as I've always had the X series plugins (XRecord, XSearch etc) but I'm currently having problems with them so I though I'd give SearchWiz a try.

I also noticed in my logs that I have a problem with MusicLibrary2 but it seems to work OK so I'll leave it alone I think

Cheers

Ah, right, I believe the current code relies on a feature that is in the beta version of PVRX2 (1.0.11). For now, copy the WizUiHelper.DLL (plugins/common directory) into the gbpvr directory and try running again.

Im running into the same problem. I went to move the WizUiHelper.DLL file but there doesnt appear to be one.

I did a complete file search using this name and nothing comes up.

I do find a WizUtilities.dll

What version of SearchWiz are you installing? WizUtilities.dll is from version 0.5.2 (compatible with GBPVR 99.xx), WizUiHelper.DLL is from the new 1.0.0 version (compatible with GBPVR 1.0.x).

Could be that you had the old version already installed?

When you install the new version, you should have the following directory structure:

Code:

devnz
   +--gbpvr
         +--Plugins
         |     +--common
         |     +--SearchWizX2
         +--Skin
         +--Skin2
               +--Blue
                    +-- ....
                    +-- SearchWizX2

@JavaWiz

First, thanks for writing such a useful plugin.

I tried your updated version and the plugin loaded OK after copying the WizUIHelper.dll to the main GBPVR directory. However, I has a couple of other problems

I have both versions of searchwiz installed in PVRX2

when I search in the old version using the default filter from the old version... I get like 500+ results.

Then when I search in the new version with the same default filter, I get only 27 results.

Also, I noticed if I try to save a new filter in the new version, it doesn't accurately enter the search criteria in the config.xml file. Instead it creates multiple "Default" filters entries.

If you need futher info, please let me know.

BTW, Thanks.

After looking a little further, it seems that the new versions is only returning the search results for programs that are showing today.

I have noticed a couple bugs in that first version especially as it relates to loading and saving filter settings. I was hoping to make it so that the new version and old could co-exist and share the same settings, but enough has changed that it won't be possible.

I think the new version will end up having it's own section in the config file to save it's settings, so old and new can co-exists, but filters will be unique to each version of the program.

I will be publishing a new version in the next couple of days to address these problems, so hang tight.

New version 1.0.1 posted to wiki:

08/03/07 : 1.0.1
* Fixed Save Filter dialog
* Fixed load of DefaultFilter setting from config at startup
* Created new config section SearchWizardX2
* Enabled setting maintenance from the config program.
* Enabled SMS entry mode. When running on MVP, sms mode will be on, when on PC, toggle on off via Go Button or F11

Remember to copy plugin/common/WizUiHelper.DLL to gbpvr directory (as described here).

@JavaWiz

That was fast work! Thanks for the update.

Ran into a couple of issues.

Below are lines from the config.xml file.

Filter0 was created from inside GBPVRX2 and saved as "By GBPVRX2"
Unfortunately, searchwiz doesn't recognize the entered channel criterias because it appears that an extra blank space was added before the chanel callname when it was added to the config.xml. If you edit the xml file like I have for the "default filter2" listed below, it works like a charm.

Also, I created and saved "Filter1" name "By Config" that I created using the GBPVR config utility @ the Searchwiz2 Plugin. I used the same filter criteria as in the other two but nothing was written to the config.xml file.

Hope that was somewhat clear?

Thanks

Code:

<Filter0>Name:By GBPVRX2;Criteria:;TimePeriod:No Time Restriction;Range:ANYWHERE in Search By Field(s);SearchBy:Title;Genres:Movies|;Ratings:No Rating Filter|;Channels:CH 2 WBBM| CH 5 WMAQ| CH 7 WLS| CH 8 WPWR|;</Filter0>

<Filter1>Name:By Config;Criteria:;TimePeriod:No Time Restriction;Range:ANYWHERE in Search By Field(s);SearchBy:Title;Genres: No Genre Filter;Ratings: No Rating Filter;Channels: No Channel Filter;</Filter1>

<Filter2>Name:Default;Criteria:;TimePeriod:No Time Restriction;Range:ANYWHERE in Search By Field(s);SearchBy:Title;Genres:Movies|;Ratings:;Channels:CH 2 WBBM|CH 5 WMAQ|CH 7 WLS|CH 8 WPWR|;</Filter2>
