Hey Qtips.
u know its not for dvb cards!

if u got a pvr card it should work and system should work to even though u are in a domain.

give me your entire ini file snd and i'll look and see if I find something.

is it beacause I'm using a network domain and not Workgroup ?

[SCHEDULE_CONFIG]

USERID=system
USERPASSWORD=


I put in my userid and password there with no luck


Hi QTips,

You may want to try using "YOUR DOMAIN NAME\USERID".

Hi Lasse,

No, I have not given up on the plugin. I just been pretty busy of late updating CTpvr. I hope to get back on it soon. I have some big changes to make in the plugin that I'm just not ready for.

Regards,
Carm.

Pass the xml filename to the plugin command for it to work.


Could you please paste the code for this event? Every time I try to create an event to pass the xml filename to the plugin, xlobby crashes.

Thanks,
JLF

paste your log here please

Did u pass the entire filename? like tvguide.xml ?

I just have a button on the overlay saying EPG goto now and the event is the plugin and tvguide.xml as parameter. Nothing else

I thought it was truly based om commands so I could use which pvrapplication I wanted with just some parameter/path fixing here and there.Then I guess I must lay this on ice for now....

When shall I manage to get me a great server/client DVB-c PVR so I can strip my HTPC and put the tvcards in my dualAMD :)

The only way I could get any data in the log was when I created an event and assigned to a button on the overlay screen:

Plugin - xschedule
Command - EPG_goto_now
Variable - tvguide.xml

He is the log file:

2005-05-19 8:23:58 PM EPG_Goto_Now was envoked: tvguide.xml
2005-05-19 8:23:58 PM EPG_GOTO_NOW:Starting go to now
2005-05-19 8:23:58 PM EPG_GOTO_NOW:Starting go to now.xml filed name=tvguide.xml
2005-05-19 8:23:58 PM EPG_GOTO_NOW:Found a xml file.starting to remove
2005-05-19 8:23:58 PM EPG_GOTO_NOW:Failed to modify current epg info

Thats wierd JLF. Just checked the code and u got the failure when the xml file is being opened. Could be a win2000 problem I do not know...

Do u have more than one EPG xml files?

How many days if EPG data do u have in the xml file? try ONE

Can u mail me the xml file and then I can try it on my XP machine?

Lasse,

Did have, but changed to one.

How many days if EPG data do u have in the xml file? try ONE

Had one at first. then tried 7. Then back to one. Still does not work. I sent you the epg xml file.

Seems like that your xml file contains a parser info (xmltv.dtd)
if u add a dummy file called xmltv.dtd in the same dir as your xml file it works.

I also changed the plugin so it wont need the dtd file.Its in the usuall place

That is really wierd. I came back today from a trip and mine did the same thing! I exited xlobby,started xlobby, moved epg 3 days back and tried. It worked....

To tell u the truth I do not why it doesn't work, maybe it doesn't work when xlobby has been started for a long time. does it work for u on a fresh started xlobby? I can't find anything else to do in the code, so I guess its back to Steven. He's in the middle of moving and stuff so he wont be having much time.

I still had xlobby running from yesterday. I hit the goto now button and it refreshed the epg but did not bring me to current time. I manually went back a day earlier and hit the button and it moved back to the time that xlobby started yesterday. If I manually set the time to current, and hit the goto now button, it moves back to the time that xlobby started yesterday. That is probably why it appears to work after a fresh restart of xlobby.

New approach and this time it works -:)


The EPG must have a button ID of 666 for it to work and u must pass the xml file as a parameter to the command. Emaple tvguide.xml

The plugin will first check if the current time is actually there and if not it will refresh the EPG and then set the cursor to the current time.

Upload in the usual place

PS:always check the log (xlobby/log/xxx.txt) for errors and paste it here if needed.:DS
