'gbpvr' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or bat

[bs27975]

Running --configure produces this error.

- Despite multiple echo on's and so forth, I have been unable to see which line is producing the error.
- Having updated the gbpvr config to use the xmltv plugin and created updateepg.bat, same result.
- Running the updateepg.bat file manually produced results. It's failing at the 2nd last line of I-xmltv.bat, 'IF %EmptyEPG% == 1 gbpvr -OnlyEmptyEPG'.
- And it's right ... gbpvr.exe doesn't exist.

By the way, the 3rd last line:
"CD %GBPVR_DIR%"
Needs to be:
"CD /d %GBPVR_DIR%"

And:
"IF EXIST .\.xmltv\%GRABBER%.conf GOTO Incremental:"
Needs to be:
"IF EXIST %HOME%\.xmltv\%GRABBER%.conf GOTO Incremental:"

What should 'gbpvr' be in the line above? pvrx2? (Line above 'start config' when I right-click the gb-pvr icon in the system tray?

I suck at batch files so have no idea what you're trying to do, but there is no gbpvr.exe included with the release any more. The new UI is pvrx2.exe.

Oops. Should have said ... following the gbpvr documentation for xmltv (schedule direct), using I-xmltv ... (It looking like i-xmltv will add useful things like favourites, ratings, and a search feature, to the TV Guide).

Further ... looks like pvrx2 is not obeying the documented options, e.g. -OnlyEmptyEPG, well not sure if it's doing anything now, but it is leaving the gui up when the documentation says it will not.

I dont understand why you need to run these commands.

In your updateepg.bat file you should only need the command to run xmltv.exe to download the xml file. Immediately after that GB-PVR will empty the empty and load the xmltv file.

The last lines in the I-xmltv.bat file are:

Code:

REM ***Do not add commands below this line***
CD %GBPVR_DIR%
IF %EmptyEPG% == 1 gbpvr -OnlyEmptyEPG
:exit

so it tries running:

gbpvr -OnlyEmptyEPG

That should be changed to:
pvrx2 -OnlyEmptyEPG

It's not me running the commands ... these are the commands within the various .bat files that come with i-xmltv.

I'm merely pointing out:
- 'errors' in .bat files
- 'errors' in gbpvr documentation
- i-xmltv is not working as intended / documented. And as near as I can tell ... as a result, isn't getting me where I was supposed to go by using it.

And the last appears to be due to changes in gbpvr. e.g. to pvrx2 and not handling '-OnlyEmptyEPG'.
