Argus-TV Guide Enhancer

[karl10247]

The logs are either in C:\ProgramData\GuideEnricher\ or in C:\Program Files\GuideEnricher, not quite sure which one and I can't check right now.

I had found that log actually, its in program files but since it only gives me information that the service has stopped/started (see below, i would upload the log but the forum wont allow .log or .txt uploads, crazy). This log doesnt give me any information it is looking up a series that i schedule for record as i expected from the install instructions.... thats why i was expecting a proper log in Event viewer.

I even added a couple of TV series in the config file, matched up to the id's on TVDB but still nothing.

I dont think its working properly, any ideas?

Yes, there should be more info in there.
Can you please try the following:

Make sure the settings:

Code: Select all

<add key="ftrUrlHost" value="localhost"/>
<add key="ftrUrlPort" value="49943"/>

are correct. If Argus is running on the same machine (it probably is), the above settings should be the correct ones.

A few lines below these there is this line:

Code: Select all

<add key="dumpepisodes" value="false"/>

Set this one to true if it is false.

Go to the Windows services control panel and restart the service.

Ok so i made some changes. host was "mc" which i changed to lcalhost and dump episodes was indeed set to false so i changed it to true. Unfortunately theres still no movement when i schedule a recording, log just says service started

I dont believe i did anything different with my Argus install and i think the scheduler uses port 49943 as that is what i connect to when i open the console

Hi karl10247

We are currently looking into this issue (https://github.com/ChrisRichner/ARGUS-T ... r/issues/1) , I can reproduce it on my system too.

Issue Description
Even tough the Enhancer should work on start up and then all 12 hours as configured in the config file ->

Code: Select all

<add key="sleepTimeInHours" value="12"/>

it fails to kick in and enrich your guide on demand triggered through changes happening in ARGUS-TV during this 12 hours sleep time.

Workaround
To make sure that the Guide Enhancer works at all stop the Guide Enhancer Windows Service and start the GuideEnricherService.exe as a console Application. The console mode is the preferred way to diagnose issues.

If it's working correctly on start up you can try to set sleepTimeHours to a lower value to let guide enhancer work on a shorter interval as a work around until we fixed the issue.

Thanks for testing the current build, I appreciate!

We'll update as soon as we've fixed the issue.

Ahhhh im glad you were able to reproduce it on another machine, i thought i was just doing something dumb and making a fool out of myself.

As instructed i tried stopping the service and running the console version. Console version fired up fine but still no movement when i go to schedule something in the scheduler console. Like you say I think theres some work to be done to fix this issue with GE but i seriously appreciate the support and for developing what will be a great little tool.

I'll be here patiently waiting, hope you can fix it soon

p.s. if i can help let me know

Hi,

Yesterday I saw a new post saying there was a new version to test. This morning, I wanted to give it a try but the post is not there anymore. I guess that means there was an issue. Is there any ETA for a new test version?

Also, I visited the Github site and I can see all the code but, as I'm not a programmer and that I don't have the tools and expertise to create the executable and installable files, I'm looking for ready to use MSI package. Is it supposed to be somewhere on GitHub? If so, where should I look?

Thank you.

Hi ehfortin

Chris is doing right today some changes on the repository and created a new branch. I guess, you'll be updated very soon.

Hi ehfortin

I'm sorry for the confusion I've created by deleting the msi installer file today, but I had to to do it because the uploaded version had a major issue.

Please grab your fixed copy here https://github.com/ChrisRichner/ARGUS-T ... r/releases

Bear in mind that this are pre-release versions, I appreciate your testing & feedback efforts

Hi,

That's fine, I figured it was related to an issue.

I've installed the latest version and started it after adjusting the proper port and a few of my matching stuff and it updated the EPG. I've runned it a few times and it added new information each time. So, at first sight, it seems to work fine. I'll post if I encounter any problem but as my usage is very plain and simple, if it works now, it should continue until the next update

Thank you.
