TVGuideGB application by Leshay

[leshay]

Hi

I have finally got round to fixing a few minor bugs in my PC application TVGuideGB which I have been using since I got my GigaBlue Quad Plus.

It isn't anything special, but I would be interested if anyone using an Enigma2/VIX box could give it a try out and see if in fact it will run elsewhere on a different system to mine.

This application doesn't do anyting that you can't do using the PVR remote, but, in my case, I find it to be a handy utility in conjunction with the PVR.

NOTE: the application does NOT alter anything on the box other that add/remove Timers and user selected movie Folders.

Of course, I suggest you scan the ZIP with your virus scanner before trying it out.

The application can be downloaded HERE

Fails to load if the readme file is also open.

Hangs when trying to validate IP address. I don't know if this is because my solo 4k is on 192.168.0.XX

Hi
I will need to try and figure out why your attempt failed at the first hurdle. My box IP is 192.168.1.68 - I don't know if your '0' causes an issue - I can't think why it would.

BTW: I have altered a help file in the app and One Drive has seen fit to alter the share link and now I can't edit my post - all attempts to use the old link will now fail.

The new link: HERE

The editing has a time limit. Just post new link, I'll add/update the link on first post for you.

Might be an idea to add version numbers.

Just a note on this AVG has added the exe to virus vault and wont release it till checked by AVG Virus Lab

Hi Abu Baniaz

The text for the error seems to suggest you used 192.168.1.68:80 as the IP address?

I have tried various formats and can not get the program to actually crash, it gives the MessageBox indicating a fail to connect but doesn't terminate.

Yes, I should think about adding version number. My allowance on One Drive doesn't let me keep multiple copies so I have to delete the old before adding the new.

Hi dsayers

WOW - well then what can I say - it certainly doesn't contain anything malicious. I suppose it is just being cautious - rightly so.

Maybe they could fix the bugs too while they are at it

Hi Abu Baniaz

The text for the error seems to suggest you used 192.168.1.68:80 as the IP address?

I was trying to set 192.168.0.51 as the IP address.

192.168.1.68:80 is the default/example.

[adm]

I too get "fatal error - failed to connect to PVR"
followed by the Get IP window in which I enter 192.168.1.106
On pressing validate the Get Ip window reports "Not responding"
followed by a Microsoft .Net Framwork window
"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application....... unable to connect to remote server"

My box can be seen via FTP and Samba

BTW, my virus scanner found no problems with the downloaded file

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I dont know how to enable JIT Debugging but it'll probably a similar error to Abu

After allowing AVG to run it I get same as you and I clicked on details and was given this error

[Snip of a lot of information]

established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 192.168.1.68:80

Possibly this first line states the real problem. The software is still attempting to connect to the default value of 192.168.1.68:80 and not the alternative IPs we are entering in the "get IP" window

Hi all

I am not exactly sure if these changes will help, but, I have tried to authenticate the connection (without any user/password), in a more useful manner.
1st it will check that the entered IP address is actualy a valid IP address - if not will show a message and wait for further input.
2nd If a valid IP address, then it will try and establish a connection and ping the box. If the ping fails, will show a messagebox and wait for further input.

If it gets past that, it should (hopefully) get a bit further

Fatal Error "Failed to connect to PVR using 192.168.1.106. You need a valid network IP address to the PVR IP pattern = 192.168.1.68"

It looks like you have maybe embedded the IP address of your box into the software and its rejecting any other IP.



Edit After restarting the software for the second time the IP is accepted and software continues to load

[adm]

On the box I have fully populated EPG but in the TVGuideGB I see fields that say ignore (see attached image)

These are not programs I have timers for nor anything I would have set up in past with, say, an autotimer with an filter to try and avoid repeats.

If I highlight an "IGNORE" field the software correctly identifies the channel, programme name and time and gives the programme description in the window at the bottom of the screen so it seems to know what should be reported in the IGNORE field

Programs with valid timers are (correctly) highlighted in red.
