Which is lucky as I'd be up sh*t creek if I had to start messing around in there. I think the only thing that happens is to add the Sky series link to recording options.The biggest pain is the SQL and getting the columns created that the Grabber needs - and checking if they exist already. Because this mod isn't official, it doesn't relate to any official database version number. So it's not like I can put it in, say, 61 and be done with it as many people don't use this installer and don't create the columns - but may want to in the future. Neither can I create a new database version number as this is not official, and could very well prevent people upgrading to future versions further down the line.The way I've got around it is to add a checker outside of the official version numbers that, if it doesn't find the columns, calls a SQL script that creates them. The downside of this, is that it's done in code (albeit just one line added to the 'UpdateDatabaseSchema' method calling one custom method that checks for the column and, if required, sends the custom SQL into the existing executeSQL method.The second bit just involves adding a few unofficial version numbers to a list of official version numbers in the deploy tool.The third bit is a file copy and listing the file paths in the TVEngine setup.nsi.That's it really.I got it working last night I think - I've installed official 1.10 and 'upgraded' and that works, I just want to test upgrading from a grabber customised 1.9 and a clean 1.10 grabber install then I'll upload it. As it's all fresh in my mind it'll likely be quite soon after the official release of 1.11 that I put that version up.</blockquote>
