Possibly not. The 'main' configuration is a special case and uses the '/settings' folder to store the xmltvgui.ini. Alternative configurations don't have a '/settings' folder and the ini is in the root of the alternative configurations' folder trees. The RT_FilmFix code works out which is which (i.e., if both command-line options are the same, it knows it's a 'main' configuration rather than alternative). Just try with both the same as Alex and I suggested - it should work.

LOL - the irony of it all since I started the utility is I haven't set any films to record.

Cheers,

Very true. I take some small comfort in that. Smile

Sorry, but I do seem to need the "settings" tagging on the end otherwise I get the error messages dumped out.
Never mind - it's working Wink

I had an ancient installation of XMLTV GUI and along the way a whole load of changes made to the software meant it was a bit of a muddle. When I was working on the current RT_FilmFix, I ripped it out and did a clean install so I could understand it better and my advice on the paths is based on my current setup. As long as you've got it working then that's great.

Cheers,
Brian

Hi Brian - thanks for stepping in a solving this particular problem.

I'm also a C# developer and I wondered if you considered sharing your solution? I'd like to customise it a bit, to namely to add the "Film" category, rather than replace the existing category with it. I also would want to prefix the existing category with "Movie-" (so it becomes Movie-Drama for example), so I can configure BSEPG to recognise it and hopefully get my Movie Guide's Categories working once again.

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex,

I had already added code to simply add a new Film category rather than replace the existing. It's currently commented out in the method that processes the xmltv file and just needs adding back in and a command-line option.

VS2008 C# solution zipped and attached.

Cheers,
Brian

Thanks for sharing Brian - If I add any more features, I'll make sure I share it back on here.

Much appreciated.
