For The Record - The rule-based scheduling suite (6 Viewers)

I'm yet in error condition, even with 1.0.14.0

TvScheduler console gives "An unexpected error occurred" in the following pages:
TV Guide; Upcoming Recordings; Edit Schedule

I found this error in the event log:

I presume this only happens with that one schedule? Could let me know what rules that schedule uses (perhaps send me the RulesXml from the database). And what's in TvScheduleRecordedProgram for that schedule?

Also check that the column Title in TvScheduleRecordedProgram is set to "not null" and Episode is set to "allow null". In older versions the create script for that table was broken, and I fixed that recently. But it's always possible due to upgrading that you're still stuck with a bad table.

Thanks!

No no...
Every time I enter in the TV Guide, Upcoming Recordings or every Edit Schedule page I got the "unexpected error" message box.
The error in the event log isn't related (by time) with the message box in the Management Console: it seems to occur at startup.

This error started when I upgraded (here)

OK, but did you check the TvScheduleRecordedProgram table and its contents?

Hi - I just updated again - all very smooth

I have another feature suggestion; is it possible for the web page to determine the resolution of the display that's used so for bigger screens (or resolutions) it could display more channels / programs?? I have a 22" display and the current display only uses a small portion of the available screen space.

thanks for your great work

Creating such an EPG table in HTML is hell So to make it fill up the screen is quite complicated, at least if you really want to show more rather than have everything scale up (which would be kinda useless). The only thing I could more easily do is have it show more channels (so make it bigger vertically). But automatically enlarging it horizontally is pretty complex.

So I'm afraid the EPG will remain fixed-size for now. But never say never...

I understand

What about if you allowed the user to select how many channels per page? and perhaps how many hours to show? Could that work??

Would it be easy to allow the user to select how big the display table is? Currently it defaults to 2 hours 45 minutes wide and 6 channels long (before you have to scroll). Would it be possible / easy to allow the user to select how say 4 hours by 10 channels?? Is that easier than having to determine it dynamically??

It's not a big deal if it can't be done - just a nice to have

 

[dvdfreak]

Almost anything can be done It's just a matter of time and energy I'll put it on my list, but know I have other things of higher priority right now.

 

[BKCH]

no worries thanks for the work you're putting in - this is a great addition to MP.

First I've emptied TvScheduleRecordedProgram without result. Then I've emptied TvRecording table and the errors disappeared.
