Content type not working with UPNP

[jmetsako]

Hi

 

My recording service is working generally very well, but I found small bug?

When using xbmc or ps3 as an front-end those clients won’t show recordings category correctly trough UPNP.

Only some of id’s are shown correctly but most of content categories are “unkown” in xbmc end.

You can easily see it with windows xbmc for example, if you recording txt do not have any content set, just add “Content=17” for example. That didn’t work me, btw 17 stands for “detective/thriller” in rc_english.lng

 

Recording service version 1.5.0.31 Beta

XP 32bit SP3

XBMC windows 9.11

Well if there is no content then there is no content. Quite simple and no bug.

I wanted manually sort more recordings, since content "tagging" is not to widely used in Finland.

If I add content to description txt it should be visible through UPNP. So it's still bug

 

Thanks

No it isn't. The data resides in the database. The fileinfo or infofiles are only used for reading back the data on a refresh or import.

I did not remeber mention that in my initilal post that I deleted old database and run refresh from web page. Sorry about my missing details.

 

But it still bug.

My guess: You have also the fileinfo in the recording and these data are preferred over the infofile. So still no bug

 

Maybe you try this little tool: http://www.DVBViewer.info/forum/index.php?...st&p=274824 . It does set/copy the fileinfo and info file . Just drag'n'drop the recording (ts/mpeg) file (!!) into the program window and change the values. After that you can clean/refresh the db an the new values will be shown in UPnP...

 

Just remember to save the data in the tool, it will not be done automatically!

No bug you where right

 

I was able to "reset" ts content info by setting it as "unknown". Now txt content acts as "primary" info. Many thanks.

 

I assume that there is no command line version of "delprops.exe"? Would be handy to set content "unknown" in command line.

Actual best for my usage would be solution where with option source of recording "info" could be chosen. Either txt or ts file. Like new system wide setting

[Lars_MQ]

I think about it

[jmetsako]

Actual I got one better and more suitable idea. Since there is this "Serie" feature in Search EPG could that been shown an one Recordings "main" category in UPNP? That would be sweet and no extra hassle would be needed with content manipulation.
