[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1096091, member: 82144"] [USER=117536]@RonD[/USER] (...and anybody else who is interested in the XMLTV plugin) Your comment about the XMLTV plugin being the unloved red haired second step cousin has prompted me to take action! Not only because my brother and his kids have red hair but because I'm genuinely interested in making things better. :) Some teaser screenshots attached. Key points: [LIST] [*]"import now" no longer freezes the UI [*]added the ability to run a program or batch script instead of (or as well as) downloading and unzipping a file [*]import and schedule status updated every 10 seconds so you can see what is happening [*]removed unnecessary "import tvguide.lst" and "import tvguide.xml" options [*]"delete old programs before import": when ticked, all existing programs for the imported channels are deleted - when not ticked, only overlapping and expired programs are deleted [*]renamed and clarified the ultra-confusing "apply time compensation..." option - previous recommendation was to enable the option and set hours and minutes to zero (in order to automatically compensate for daylight saving); now daylight saving compensation is automatically applied, and you should only enable the option if you [I]really[/I] want to adjust times [*]added the ability to specify separate time adjustments for each file in tvguide.lst [*]fixed the mapping bug with brackets that you found -->[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/some-channels-have-no-data-xlmtv-webgrab.126366/#post-1085937']here[/URL]<-- (there are no reserved characters) [*]generally tidied up the UI (group boxes, tab order, better descriptions) [*]generally tidied up the code (better structure, better logging, some performance improvements) [/LIST] All of this will be in my TVE 3.5 working branch very soon. Yep, I already confirmed this happens for all plugins. I actually really [I]despise[/I] the automatic restarts. They're inconsistent (sometimes with a popup, sometimes silent); they sometimes don't check whether any timeshifting or recording sessions are active; sometimes [like for the plugins] they're not implemented, and people have to manually restart. What a mess! In TVE 3.5 I am determined to eliminate the need to restart TV Server. With good design, configuration changes can be picked up without a restart. Enabling plugins without a restart is not easy, but that is next on my job list. It is possible... just tricky. Any more feedback would be welcome... [/QUOTE]
