What does the setting in config.xml "RecordingDirectoryTranslation" do?

I found that in the new update 2.6.2, thanks.

It can be used by client PCs to play recordings from the filesystem instead of streaming it, by performing some file path translation.

The format of the setting is a bit complicated, but basically it's made up of multiple strings, separated by ~ character. They strings are groups of two, with the first being the recording directory on the server, and the second being a local path the client will translated it to.

For example, with <RecordingDirectoryTranslation>d:\temp~\\someserver\someshare</RecordingDirectoryTranslation>, when the client plays a recordings that the server had in d:\temp\someshow\filename.ts, the file path will be translated to \\someserver\someshare\someshow\filename.ts. If that file is visible from the client, then it'll play it directly from that file, rather than streaming it.

I see... thanks.

I was worried about the new added settings since you mentioned in another thread that config.xml and npvr.db3 are not affected. But comparing the file content seems to indicate some addition of settings, hence wanting to clarify on their functions. Smile

Also, how has the EPG update changed now? I noticed there's a complete time selection now, complete to the second. Anyway, as long as I leave the checkbox beside it it will never do EPG update right?

Oh... u may want to rename my thread to "Queries about 2.62" since it now involves many questions. Feel free to merge into other users' threads too if they are the same topic. Smile

Don't edit the EPG settings in the config.xml. Just use the GUI. Untick the 'auto EPG update' checkbox if you don't it to do an EPG update each night.

I also noticed the changes to EPG update pointed out by Kiwi, and there now seems to be a randomizing feature: Every time I open NPVR and go to Settings/Misc2, the minute of update has changed (although the hour remains the same). That should help to avoid problems due to heavy server traffic at default update hours (e.g. the old thread "SchedulesDirect not updating automatically").

The upgrade to 2.6.2 has been quite painless for me, and I want to congratulate sub and everyone else involved! (Of course I have no client machines, Systems plugins or XBMC to give me headaches...)

However, I do have a very minor glitch to report...

In order to establish whether EPG update was completely successful under 2.6.2, I scrolled to the chronological end of my TV Guide listings using the right arrow key. (BTW, cursor seems to move much faster now than it did under 2.5.9.) When the cursor reached the end of time, I got an unhandled exception error box. I would imagine that any user could reproduce this in a minute or so. (Hint: If mouse pointer is invisible, Escape key might prove helpful.) Below is what appears to be the relevant passage from my NPVR.log:

2013-03-24 17:40:40.210 [DEBUG][1] OnKeyDown() called: Right
2013-03-24 17:41:34.812 [ERROR][1] Unexpected error: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

It should only really have randomised it the first time you went into that screen. When you hit ok, it should have been saved, and that value shown each time you go back to that screen.

I'd check config.xml, to confirm it's been successfully saved into the <EPGUpdateTime> setting.

I tried to reproduce this, but didn't get this problem. Is it reproducible for you? If so, I might need to get you to zip and attach your npvr.db3 so I can try replicating it here in the debugger.

RE: Update minute: I didn't hit OK because I didn't change the settings, but I'll be sure to hit OK the next time I open Misc2.

RE: Index was out of range: Yes I can reproduce it; but if it's just me, then you've got "bigger fish to fry." I will simply refrain from scrolling to the chronological end of TV Guide! BTW I'm running Vista 32-bit.

I've been able to easily generate an error like that at the end of my guide since gb-pvr days whenever the guide is ragged

Yeah, I suspect it's not new.

If someone wants to post an npvr.db3, I'm happy to take a look.
