RC1 + 1. SVN doesnt save view settings and last viewed positions from recordings

[jdivic]

Hm... since this behavior has been spotted since release of RC1 maybe this thread shouldn't been moved here... it has nothing with new SVN builds... :-)

I also liked this feature very much and am sad that it is broken since RC1. I use XP x86 as server only (with MSSQL Express installed by deploy tool) and 2 clients with Vista Ultimate x64, all 3 actually on build 18951 (RC1 was the same). The shows are marked as watched but MP always restarts at the beginning.

It seems to be a BUG, can anyone put this in to the mantis?

Hi,
To be in Mantis, first add proper post(system specs, howto reproduce & attach logs)

Ok, now dont laughing...

i have connected me yesterday over rdp to my mediacenter pc, started mp in debug mode, tryed the few steps witch did not work before... closed mp and startet normaly...

surprise: IT WORKS NOW!

i dont know why

but for me its solved fo the moment

...no logs there from my side

EDIT:
I have unintalled Vista SP1 before i did the test because sometimes after resuming from standby USB has not worked with SP1

Hi,

Where is the bug(No step by step to "how-to" reproduce)?
Where are the log attached which is required for a bug report?
Where are the system specs which is required for a bug report?
& what exactly is the bug(i have tried to read but thread has unfortunately become a mess )?

So if nothing it's added which is required this thread will be closed.

Regards
Roy

If I start to play new recorded show on client machine it will never record that I started to watch the show and will never ask me if I want to continue.
So as I can conclude on server machine it works ok, but client machine can read info about where show was stopped but can't update or insert that info.

If this is not a step by step "how-to-reproduce" I don't know what is... try if this works and if it works I stand corrected, but if it doesn't it should be corrected. This really reminds me on a middle and senior management in IT (yes I'm programmer) in a Bank here where I work... It can be a HUGE and OBVIOUS bug, but if you didn't fill the proper form God forbid to correct that... it's far more better to close eyes and say oh... there is no proper form filled so there is no bug... life is just perfect... isn't it?

Thank you all for all the hard work, but don't be so rigid in accepting this kind of bug reports... this obviously isn't a hardware or configuration problem, machine doesn't crash, it is easy to reproduce... this is a small bug in a code, take debugger and locate it, if I get hour or two I'll find it and post a correction, but for someone who wrote this TV plugin it should be a 15 minutes to patch this, just based on a description...after all it is one insert/update statement generation on a client side in a TV plugin, select part of that combination works well.

Hi!
I'm still having this problem with SVN19010, if its a bug or not I'm not shore of

To reproduce;
1) Start MP an go to recorded shows.
2) Start a show, and it starts from the beginning.
3) Press "stop"
4) Start the same show again, and I will NOT get the question if I would like to run it from the start or from where I stopped it the last time, it just starts from the beginning again.

Upload all log-files, because I don't know which you want. If more info is needed I'm glad to help.
