In the latest SVN I am unable to delete individual scheduled recordings in a schedule.

so just

• Schedule an advanced recording (say record at this time each week)
• Go to scheduled recordings screen
• bring up context menu and try to delete one episode

The screen flickers as if the the recording is being deleted but it gets placed straight back again. As far as I can tell this has only started happening since the EPG changes in the latest SVN

This problem still exists and is proving a real pain over the xmas period.

I have a few schedules like record every Wednesday at 9pm but over the holidays the program is taking a break. Previously (1.0.2 certainly) I could go into the upcoming schedules pick out the problem recordings and just cancel that episode.

Now stuck with MP recording a program which is not even on and then having to delete it.....

This has been introduced in 1.1 code

+1 same problem since 2009.11.30 svn

Problem still exists in latest SVN Logs attached, I went in and selected a program that is on this and next weekend and did an advanced record each time on this channel.

In the scheuled page I can see the two episodes appear

notice both are there and screen showing 10 objects

If I click on the first one (which is top of the list) and select cancel this show it does dissapear from list.


notice schedule has gone and objects has dropped to nine

If I try and click cancel this show on the other recording the screen flashes but the entry will not go.


Checked in TVServer config app and the schedule has a line through it but no idea what this actually means...

Logs attached showing the above.

Went back and tried to delete the second episode first and this produced a very off result. The first episode vanished from the schedule but the second (highlighted one) remains

I am guessing this is related to the EPG changes to make it faster and the flags being added to the recordings. I think the correct action has posibly been taken but the GUI is showing the wrong info but I am not sure what to look for in the database. What should happen when one episode from a schedule is cancelled?

ok looked in the database and there appears to lie the problem. Not looked at the code but I am guessing everything is driven off the canceledschedule table ?

If so I am guessing that the time entry in here should the time of the cancelled episode ? It is not , it is the start time from the schedule (ie the first recording in the schedule) which would explain why the first recording disappeared when I cancelled wither first or second recording above.

If I manually insert rows into the table with the correct start time of the episode I want to cancel it does disappear from the list.

So the wrong dateTime is being inserted into canceledSchedule

Hi,
Did a quick test with just adding a always on this channel & canceled 50% of the shows & this works just fine, but going to check more how you do it to see if it occurs in some specific way of doing things.

Odd as this is 100% reproducable on my system...

Simply open up live TV (mine is set to start to TV will actually start plaing) go back to TV options screen and into schedules and bring up the context menu and cancel show.

Just tried again to be 100% sure and I attempted to cancel the highlighted show


but the database table got

mysql> select * from canceledschedule;
+--------------------+------------+---------------------+
| idCanceledSchedule | idSchedule | cancelDateTime      |
+--------------------+------------+---------------------+
|                 41 |         60 | 2010-01-07 21:00:00 |
+--------------------+------------+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

when should have been 2010-01-21 09:00:00
(first epsode in schedule was 2010-01-07 21:00:00)

Odd wonder what has triggered this then??

Hi,
Finally some success in repro it, from the Scheduled menu i wasn't able to cancel at all & therefore went into TVGuide & clicked on the next one which is to come & from that record menu tried to cancel & everything else then the canceled was removed so seems like we actually have some weirdo going around in there, need to test all this again....

Hi,
Some more clear up
Pretoriano has helped out testing this & found out why it sometimes work & sometimes not. Seems like in Scheduled you're able to delete within today or some hours period but not next week etc as you can when viewing from TVGuide --> Show which is recorded every time on the channel (series rec) --> right click or menu + record --> in this record screen you're able to change what you like & thats how the one in Scheduled should do too, nice finding this one lets see if it cam be fixed


Edit: Now added to Mantis

Hi!

plz test attached DLL.

It should work with latest public SVN if I am not mistaken.

I completely refactored the "PromptAndDeleteRecordingSchedule" method in tvhome.

So please take this for a complete test ride.

ex. of scenarious I can think of.

You can start 2 different kind of schedules.

1) one that starts recording right away, regardless of type.
2) one that is scheduled in the future, regardless of type.

for type1:
a) try and stop the recording from various places, ex. active recording, tvguide, my schedules etc. recordedTV.
it should stop the rec. and have that one episode canceled, meaning it should not restart the recording.

b) also test what happens if u delete the entire schedule, while its recording.

c) try and cancel a random episode in the future, the currently recording episode should not be stopped here.

for type2:
a) delete an entire schedule
b) delete a future episode
do this from various places.

add more tests...

repeat the tests for type1 and type2 for the various schedule types we have.

what are the combinations ? hehe--

It would be good if u can query the DB each time u perform one of the test actions.
