[QUOTE="nbradford, post: 176606, member: 17938"] Great work (again!) Kev. Your Oz TV Guide downloader is working flawlessly for me and now you come up with this! Where do you find the time ;) Ive given it a quick spin and have a few comments... (Feel free to ignore these, just my 2c ;-) ) Firstly - as others have reported, Firefox doesnt render the page properly. The 'Show Recording Schedule' option returns no results when it should. The 'Show Recorded Programs' option returns correct results by the look of it, but they are displayed in a narrow 1 column table in the centre of the page which would be better either multicolumn, or at least in a wider table When setup completed, I got an error - Service 'Mediaportal Web Interface' failed to install with error "Win32 Error: Code 1073, The specified Service already exists. It was the first time I had tried to install it. The service was created though, and works fine without any mucking around. You could also possibly include an option to choose which channels are displayed in the guide. It seems as if only programs marked as record once show up as scheduled in the guide. Programs set to record series, dont. You could add an option to allow the user to cancel the recording (I tested by adding a schedule to record Miss Congeniality on Sunday night and I REALLY want to disable it now ;) ) When clicking 'Back' once in a guide entry, you are taken back to the current date, not the same time/date in the guide as where you were when you opened the entry. As others have said, it would be good to be able to specify the date to jump to (or have a drop down with dates show for which guide data exists.) It would be nice to have the day (ie Sunday), rather than just the date displayed at the top of the guide data. Finally - while Im really impressed you did a roll your own web server that is light and effective, Im kinda picky about what services I expose the web ;-) Any chance you could have an option for 'Install pages only for use with an existing web server' option so a user can choose to use an existing installation of apache or IIS? Hope the feedback is of use (dont take it the wrong way - Im really impressed with the job so far!) Oh - also, during the configuration of the MSSQL user, adding system wide god privileges is not required. You dont need to configure anything on the Server Roles page. On the User Mapping page, just select the TVServer database, tick the box next to it, and select the db_owner database role in the lower pane. This give the user god in the TVServer database, but no rights to other databases. Great doco BTW! Much appreciated! Nick EDIT: I just noticed too that the page title for the download link for the Web Server Interface is called 'Oz TV Guide Downloader' ;-) [/QUOTE]
