NEWA fails to schedule recording

[nappysolo]

Any attempt to schedule a recording using NEWA fails. The following appears in the log file. Any ideas?

Never mind. Firewall issue. Should have guessed. Doh!

[nappysolo]

Oops! Spoke too soon.

With Firewall turned off (or on):
If I display a list of programs, and I click on one to bring up the Program Information box, and click on Record This Episode, everything works.

However, with the list of programs displayed, if I use the check boxes to select one or more programs, then go to the top and click Record, I get a an error display in the browser. However, it appears that the programs do get scheduled. Log file says:

Looking into this now.....appears to be a hang-over bug from EWA.

[UncleJohnsBand]

Give this patch a try.....just copy the files into your web\ directory. This updated patch also fixes an issue when searching from the details screen for All Episodes or Specific Episode.

I replaced those 2 files, and now I cannot search. I get the following whenever I try to submit a search:

Specified cast is not valid.

I did a little more testing on the original problem (I put back the old versions of the 2 aspx.cs files). From a search results screen, if I try to schedule a recording by selecting the checkbox and going to the top to schedule the recording, I get the error I reported earlier (reply #3). However, despite the error, it has successfully scheduled the recording. If I select multiple items and try to schedule them all at once this way, I get the error, and it has only scheduled the one I selected that was the highest in the list. I can schedule recordings one at a time without issue by clicking on the individual entry to bring up the popup and scheduling them that way.

Thanks....I think I see what is happening now.....I'll give it another go and post the update when it is done.

Ok...give this set a whirl....I think this has it. Let me know.

[nappysolo]

Yes, that looks like it got it. Works well now.

One other thing question. Is the default home page for the web server supposed to be Guide.aspx or Guide2.aspx? It usually opens to Guide, but every once in a while it will bring up Guide2.
