Episode tweaker, request if it is possible.

[martint123]

The tweaker is working fine - so many thanks.

My situation has changed a bit and now I use a dedicated PVR server without all the bloat that was building up. The box is tucked away and has lo-res onboard video with no keyboard or monitor.

What I would really like is to be able to use your episode tweaker on a client machine using the server shares to access the real data. At the moment I have to remotely login in, but the screen area is a bit limited and VLC doesn't work too well for viewing the episode.

possible??

I think that may be possible and an easy change. I'll take a look at it tonight.

Wiki updated with version 2.0.0.2 of EpisodeTweaker.

This version contains a config file (EpisodeTweaker.exe.config) that allows you to specify program settings (including database connection string). The file must reside in the same directory as the executable (the install program will do this for you).

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
    <!-- DBConnectString, uncomment and set to server database share in format below -->
    <!-- <add key='DbConnectString' value='Data Source="[url=file://\\Server\gbpvr\gbpvr.db3&quot;;Version=3;New=True;']\\Server\gbpvr\gbpvr.db3";Version=3;New=True;'[/url] /> -->

    <!-- InitialView - Recordings, Pending, EPG -->
    <add key='InitialView' value='Recordings' />

    <!-- EPGDays - number of days to load from EPG -->
    <add key='EPGDays' value='2' />

</appSettings>
</configuration>

Replace the DbConnectString setting to point to the database on your server (ie replace \\Server with your servername).

A slight request ref the delete button..... Could it delete the mpg file on disk as well as the database entry??. Dangerous, I know, but....

I record all episodes of some shows as our EPG doesn't have info to let us know if a show is a repeat or not. Also episode is usually missing (why your prog is so useful).

Later on, like today when things are quiet, I go through these shows and add episode info from glancing at the VLC playback of the file. Fairly often some shows are repeats and that's why I requested the delete button, to get rid of them. They're sat filling the disk though and usually get re-imported when I run mpegimport occasionally.

cheers

02/28/2008 : 2.0.0.3
* Fixed logic for delete function.
* Added config setting to control how delete button function
<!-- DeleteMode - Functionality for delete button - Entry or File -->
<!-- Entry - Only delete the entry in the EPG -->
<!-- File - Delete the EPG entry AND remove the file from disk -->
<add key='DeleteMode' value='Entry' />

So, install new version and set the DeleteMode to File, then it will delete the EPG entry AND the file on disk. If DeleteMode is set to Entry, it will ONLY delete the EPG entry.

2.00.3 seems to be corrupt.
