			<description><![CDATA[sub changed GBPVR/Media/art to NPVR/Media/Shows .. for now I just copied the icons across<br />
<br />
but could I request you change (or allow the user to change) the recipient directory so my postprocessing.bat, which downloads these after a show is recorded, then auto-downloads to the new dir ... <br />
 <br />
Thanks!<br />

			<description><![CDATA[The image quality of the images downloaded seems to be pretty bad. I suppose it could be the size, but when I look at the Numb3rs image on epguides.com<br />
<br />
<a href="http://epguides.com/NUMB3RS/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">http://epguides.com/NUMB3RS/</a><br />
<br />
It looks much clearer (and likely is larger) then what PIT actually ended up putting in the art folder.<br />
<br />
Is there an option for setting the image size?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Would it be possible to have the ProgramImageTool (PIT) look in the Recordings folder for folders, copy the appropriate image from the media/art folder, move the image to the appropriate folder and then rename it folder.jpg?<br />
<br />
So if I record "The Office", it creates a folder "The Office".  So PIT will look in the recordings folder and see "The Office".  Then PIT will look in the media/art folder to see if "The Office.jpg" exists.  If it does, it will move it to "The Office" folder in Recordings, and rename it folder.jpg.<br />
<br />
Currently, I have to manually do this everytime I record an episode.  Just thought this would be a nice feature to have with this tool.<br />
<br />
Thanks!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi All<br />
<br />
I have just started using gbPVR, and I set it up to use D:\ as my recording dir. When I run programimagetool with the /show argument it works fine. If I try /Recordings, it errors out:<br />
<br />
Unhandled Exception: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'D:\<br />
System Volume Information' is denied.<br />
   at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)<br />
   at System.IO.Directory.InternalGetFileDirectoryNames(String path, String user<br />

searchOption)<br />
   at EPGHelper.ProgramImageTool.CheckDirectories()<br />
   at EPGHelper.ProgramImageTool.Main(String[] args)<br />
<br />
This is on Windows 2000. Any ideas? I wouldn't mind moving my recordings dir to a folder on D:\, except that I've already started recording shows.<br />
<br />
Thanks!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I ran this program the first time.  I than went into PVRX2 and couldnt find any icons.  I ran it again, so I could note which programs would have an icon, went and searched the guide for the shows with downloaded pictures... nada.<br />
<br />
So I went to the media directory and there was no art folder.. I thought hmm, where is it saving these pics.  I searched my whole computer for them and turned up blank.  I created a art folder in the media folder and ran it again.  It still says they are downloaded now.  <br />
<br />
Is there some txt file telling the program that its already downloaded the pics?  Maybe if I erase it and run it over, now with the art directory created it would work.  If not, than I dont know where it stored these pictures but it isnt on my hard drive...]]></description>

<br />
Changes include:<br />
Cleaner, more efficient code.<br />
<br />
I also added a few commandline arguments that can be passed in.<br />
You can use them as follows:<br />
<br />
To download images for all unique shows in your epg simply run as 'ProgramImageTool.exe'<br />
<br />
To download images for certain shows run as 'ProgramImageTool.exe /Show "show name"'<br />
   This can also be added to your PostProcessing.bat file to load images for shows that have just been recorded<br />
<br />
To download images for all shows in your recordings directory run as 'ProgramImageTool.exe /Recordings'<br />
   This will search all the folders in your Recordings directory and download images for those.<br />
<br />
Please post any questions regarding this new release here.]]></description>
