Updating server from the client

[lujo]

Is it possible to add button so that Client pc can update alle channels data on the server with one cclick on the button "Update channels on server"?

 

At this moment I have understood that I need to move channels.dat and favorites.xml file to the server (Configuration folder of Recording service).

yes, best is:

first stop the RecordingService

then copy/move the channels.dat/favorties.xml (but RecordingService not use the Favorites)

start the RecordingService again

 

updating directly ist not possible now

I am manageing it the opposite way. I maintain the channels and favorite on the server, with DVBViewer on the server. On the clients i use a batch file to copy channels and favorites to the client, then starts DVBViewer. To use this code, you need to modify to macth your folder and server name

Batch file:

 

tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq DVBViewer.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "DVBViewer.exe">NUL

if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" goto running

goto notrunning

:running

rem Program is running, kill it

Taskkill /IM DVBViewer.exe /F

goto copyfiles

:notrunning

rem Program is NOT running

:copyfiles

Rem TAKE CARE! The files will be overwritten without a prompt. If you want to have a prompt, remove /Y

xcopy \\Server\c\ProgramData\CMUV\DVBViewer\channels.dat C:\ProgramData\CMUV\DVBViewer /Y

xcopy \\Server\c\ProgramData\CMUV\DVBViewer\favourites.xml C:\ProgramData\CMUV\DVBViewer /Y

rem start DVBViewer

"C:\Program Files\DVBViewer\DVBViewer.exe"

Why dont you just use the option to download the channels and favorites from the server in the client settings?
