I know I said I was not going to do a release this week.

v.43 2005-10-07
*xrecord-Recycler now deletes empty directories
*xrecord-Recycler now handles sub-directories.
*xrecord-fixed scheduler update save bug reported by (king argyle)
*xrecord-create sub directory when moving from recycle bin (from where it was).
*xrecord-after move to recycle bin delete the folder if empty.
*xrecord-fixed telephone style input
*xrecord-auto detect if the file was found in the recyle bin change status to recycled
*xsearch-fixed spelling of genres
*xguide-Speed jump (jrock)
*xguide-Fixed refresh bug (jrock)
*xguide-Fixed 100% cpu bug
*xguide-Fixed object referenced not found bug
*xguide-Fixed bug that did not show watch on a recording show when it was mid way.
*xguide-in skin-horiz.xml the
<SpecialElement name="Guide" loc="70,58" metadata="true" visibleChannels="8" channelRowHeight="38" showNavigation="false" borderWidth="2" rounded="false" showChannelIcons="true" showChannelNumberAlway="false" showRecordingBar="true" MinutePixels="3.5" MinuteDraw="180" minutesToMove="30"/>

**new attributes "metadata" - can be used to shut metadata off, color coding and repeat info.
**new attributes "colorCoding"- can just disable color coding if metadata is false so is colorCoding
values are true or false.

That way you can turn it off and get a speed increase.

*zapimport-added catch for exception if failed to compact the database.
*zapinterface-added mutexs to make it thread safe. Should fix
wparam=0x28 lparam=0x500001 result=0x0 : System.InvalidOperationException: ExecuteReader requires

an open and available Connection. The connection's current state is Open, Executing.

Jorm, quick question, from the Ctrl-K entry in Xrecord, how can i resolve that back to which version that is??

Mine says 1.0.2077.16880 how do I know which .4x version that is??

[jrockintuitive]

Jorm, if you want a huge speed improvement for xguide. After the epg is updated you create the xml file needed for xguide. You can include all of the zapdb information as well.

The idea is that all information, except recording information, can be preprocessed. Then xguide only loads the xml file instead of dynamically creating that information every time.

If the xml guide file is missing, then you can get process the information as-is.

Just a thought.

*xguide-Fixed 100% cpu bug

Well, it's better. CPU utilization hovers at around 50-60% now. As before: skin doesn't matter, MVP or PC doesn't matter, nothing in the logs, etc. If there is anything I can do to help troubleshoot this, let me know.

There's a a weird thing w/ XGuide, and a req for a possible tweak

Bug: I was showing the wife, and demonstrated the different gudies. I backed out and went back in, and it was just showing the lower 8 channels (not a guide I have). Presseding ctrl + y wouldn't reopen the selection screen (even after restart). I wasn't able to fix w/o going into CP, unlesecting my all guide as default, and then setting back.

Req: When you exit a show or return to the guide, it would keep the position the was the TV Guide does (if you're watching ch29, and you go back to guide, you're still at 29).

Great work on the update. It's a champ that oddity aside.

Another small bug: you can't watch a show if it overlaps a recording.

I was going to watch a few minutes of a movie, but it would last into a recording block, and there's no play option as a result.

psycik,
you have to go into explorer and click on the file on the status bar it will tell you what number it thinks. I might change it to display v.43 the problem is I will forget to change it for each release.

jrock,
good idea I added it to the todo list.

capone,
thanks for pointing them out. I will look into them.

sandman,
try adding the attribute metadata="false" into the skin. See if that helps at all.

I'm probably the only weirdo that uses it, but I hit another object not set error deleting something out of Watched. Once it happens, it seems to only respond to the mouse (all of GB).

The oddity w/ this one is that it had the problem losing the poster. I got it back, but it's not the same poster in Watched that it shows in Ready/Pending. Don't know if that's relevant.

Low priority, of course, since again, I'm the only weirdo that plays w/ this

[jorm]

I will try to fix it for the next release.

[jorm]

was this the only show in the show list and It was not on the title screen
