Incorrect Description Of Recurring Recordings

[georgewbateman]

After a recurring recording has been entered, the description of that recording appears in three places :

Recurring Recordings
Recording Details Popup
NEWA

The recording options are mostly misrepresented incorrect.

The recording options are :

OPT# Record Option
1 Record Once
2 Record Season (New episodes on this channel)
3 Record Season (All episodes on this channel)
4 Record Season (Daily, this time slot)
5 Record Season (Weekly, this time slot)
6 Record Season (Monday-Friday, this time slot)
7 Record Season (Weekends, this timeslot)
8 Record All Episodes, All Channels

On the Recurring Recordings these options are shown as follows :

OPT# Recurring Recordings
2 Date Program Start Time - Program End Time Daily
3 Date Program Start Time - Program End Time Daily
4 Date Program Start Time - Program End Time Daily
5 Date Program Start Time - Program End Time
6 Date Program Start Time - Program End Time Week Days
7 Date Program Start Time - Program End Time Weekends
8 Date Program Start Time - Program End Time Daily

Note that options 2, 3, 4 and 8 are the same. Option 8 does show the channel as any channel. It is the only option that is for all channels.

When the Recording Details Popup is displayed the options are shown as follows :

OPT# Recording Details Popup
2 Record Season (New episodes on this channel)
3 Date Program Start Time - Program End Time Daily
4 Date Program Start Time - Program End Time Daily
5 Date Program Start Time - Program End Time
6 Date Program Start Time - Program End Time Week Days
7 Date Program Start Time - Program End Time Weekends
8 Manual Recording Record Daily Any Channel

Note that option 2 and 3 are the same.


NEWA displays the following :

OPT# NEWA
2 First Run Events Only MO-SU Program Start Time - Program End Time
3 MO-SU Program Start Time - Program End Time
4 MO-SU Program Start Time - Program End Time
5 MO Program Start Time - Program End Time
6 MO-FR Program Start Time - Program End Time
7 SA-SU Program Start Time - Program End Time
8 MO-SU Program Start Time - Program End Time

Note that 3, 4 and 8 are the same. For option 8 NEWA incorrectly displays the first channel in the channel line up.

Where ever recurring recording descriptions are displayed they should be the same. Let me suggest the following :

OPT# Suggestion
2 MO-SU Anytime First Run Events Only
3 MO-SU Anytime
4 MO-SU Timeslot = Timeslot Start Time – Timeslot End Time
5 MO-SU Timeslot = Timeslot Start Time – Timeslot End Time
6 MO-FR Timeslot = Timeslot Start Time – Timeslot End Time
7 SA-SU Timeslot = Timeslot Start Time – Timeslot End Time
8 MO-SU Anytime

I suggest the timeslot rather the program times be used. It more accurately represents how the programs are scheduled. More than one episode can be aired within a timeslot and all of the episodes would be recorded.

Thank you in advance.

Also these recordings are to have a start date/time. If that date/time is after the current date/time then the start date/time should also be listed.

This patch gives better descriptions on the Recordings -> Recurring screen.

Am I missing a dependency ? I get

Code:

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'NUtility.DatabaseHelper' threw an exception. ---> System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.SQLite, Version=1.0.66.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=db937bc2d44ff139' or one of its dependencies.

I tried and update with 1.0.66 of sqlite and it does appear to work, but NextPVR comes with 1.0.65

Oops. Try this one. It should fix it.

[toricred]

I tried this one and now the NPVR Recording service won't start.

[mvallevand]

Yes that update still needed the newer sqlite dll.

Martin

[toricred]

So then is the previous version from early October.

[mvallevand]

We need another update from sub back to 1.0.65

I rebuilt my development machine last week on Win8. I must have installed the wrong version of SQLite.

Here is another attempt at getting it back to 1.0.65.
