Clickfinder EPG import changes

rtv · 2007-06-20, 16:34

As of today there have been some changes to the tvserver's clickfinder plugin.

It now works like this:
- start a timer with tvservice.exe which checks every 30 minutes whether an update is needed.
- if you set e.g. 24 hours between updates and > 1440 minutes have passed trigger a new import
- when import is needed it checks 1. tve3's settings for "TvMovieInstallPath" 2. the registry (HKLM) to call tvuptodate.exe.
- if it isn't currently running start it and wait for the internet update (max 10 minutes)
- import all stations like it was done before.

If you click "Import now" in setuptv you should see the update window as well.

Please check whether it still works correct. Especially if you're using limited access rights or running Vista.

It would be also interesting to know whether an tv movie update can take more than 10 minutes (ISDN users?, many channels) until complete.

Finally report focus problems after update please.

regards,
Ralf

Great work, rtv! Thanks you very much. Update takes here on DSL for 2 weeks and ~30 Stations about 1 minute.
