N.A.N.Y. 2014 / Re: NANY 2014 Release - epCheck
« Last post by skwire on April 10, 2014, 05:58 PM »
Found the problem with my 1st question, the reason for the folders not being deleted is that I removed the profile where they were and didn't deleted them first. I assumed that it would automatically delete their content.   :huh:
-vamiz (April 10, 2014, 05:16 PM)

Well, it should and, obviously, my code is faulty!  Thanks for the bug report and I'll try to get this fixed in the next build.  In the meantime, if you want to clean up yourself, do the following:

  • Delete all numbered folders in the data folder.  Leave the TXT, BAK, and INI files alone, however.
  • Go to the Options tab and click the "Refresh all series data now" button.

Hi, vamiz, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.   :)

First of all, thanks for this great app, a big THANK YOU for all of your hard work!  :Thmbsup:
-vamiz (April 10, 2014, 12:40 PM)

You're very welcome.  I'm glad you find it useful.

I've got to say that English is not my native language, so please be patient.  ::)
-vamiz (April 10, 2014, 12:40 PM)

Your English is just fine.  Please don't worry.   :D

I have Windows 7 32 and I've been testing epcheck latest version 1.1.3 build 49, and so far so good, everything works as it is supposed to.
I've added, moved, copied and removed a lot of series and every other functions seems to work as intended. :D
-vamiz (April 10, 2014, 12:40 PM)

Great, thanks for testing.

1 - A minor question - I went to "epcheck folder\data" and saw that the folders (numbered) containing the retrieved data (banners and xml files) for some series that I've deleted were still there...
-vamiz (April 10, 2014, 12:40 PM)

I'll check into this.

2 - A bigger question :p lol - would it be possible to expand/collapse seasons? I mean series with lots of eps and/or seasons like, south park, simpsons doctor who and others, will fill up the right pane...
-vamiz (April 10, 2014, 12:40 PM)

You make a good point.  However, programmatically, this would be somewhat difficult due to some AHK limitations.  This is why I added the "automatically scroll to bottom" option.

is there some way to change either the font, or weight, or size of the fonts used in the IE interface?
-BearPup7 (April 10, 2014, 07:16 AM)

If you hold down the control key and roll the mouse wheel, you should see the font size (zoom level) change in IE and most (all?) other browsers.

What I meant about a UK version is, The Mentalist for instance is shown as the US channel and time and often ahead of the UK airing.
-keithy397 (April 09, 2014, 03:32 PM)

I use the TVDB.com database for epCheck and it typically uses the channel/time of a given series' originating country.  In other words, UK-specific data is not there for an American series such as The Mentalist.  That is, unless you know how to get UK-specific data out of the TVDB.com.   :)

Just set them to zero-width.  That's all I'd do programmatically anyway.  =]

Any chance of being able to copy (as well as move) a series from one profile to another, so I can keep an eye on all my selected series?
-keithy397 (April 09, 2014, 02:13 AM)

Yes, that is in the works.

The other may not be so easy but was thinking about a UK version?
-keithy397 (April 09, 2014, 02:13 AM)

Hmmm...I'm not sure what you mean here.   :huh:  Could you please explain in a bit more detail?

Thanks for this brilliantantly useful prog.
-keithy397 (April 09, 2014, 02:13 AM)

You're very welcome.  I'm glad you find it useful.

How about placing in the program that the "Weekly" tab only shows the currently chosen profile.
-nickodemos (April 09, 2014, 03:53 AM)

I was initially against this but you're the second person to request it so I'll give it more consideration.

« Last post by skwire on April 08, 2014, 10:26 PM »
Here's the latest epCheck beta build for testing.  The profiles feature turned out to be a lot more complicated than I initially envisioned.  If you come across issues, please try to tell me, step-by-step, how to reproduce them and I'll endeavour to get them fixed.

http://skwire.dcmembers.com/apps/epcheck/epCheck_beta.zip

  • The profiles feature is currently a BETA feature and needs some testing.  As such, there is a good possibility that it might not work as designed and your epCheck data might be lost or otherwise munged.  MAKE BACKUPS.
  • You must have at least one profile.  That said, a series can exist on multiple profiles.
  • When doing a series search, a series gets added to the currently active profile.

Here's the current changelog for this beta build:

   + Added a "Profiles" option that allows you to create multiple lists of
      series.  For example, you could create a Watched list, a Cancelled
      list, an Ended list, etc.  Check out the Options tab to create new
      profiles.  The profiles feature is currently a BETA feature and needs
      some testing.  As such, there is a good possibility that it might not
      work as designed and your epCheck data might be lost or otherwise
      munged.  Make backups.
    + Added the series air time (EST) and network to the both the series
      and weekly listviews.  (Thanks, Daniel P.)
    + Added status column to listviews.
    + Added icons to tab labels.
    + Added right-click search menu to the Search tab so you can now more
      easily find information on the search results.  (Thanks, kalvanotherwhen)
    * Changed "Load weekly view on startup" option to "Load weekly data on
      startup" to avoid confusion with the startup tab option.
      (Thanks, hamradio)
    ! Fixed some issues with the right-click web search menu.
    ! Episode display format was not saved and applied properly.  (Thanks,
      kalvanotherwhen)

In case you didn't get the message...MAKE BACKUPS.  Specifically, your epCheck data folder and the config.ini file.  I don't want to hear the crying if your data goes poof.

Then another interface where you can search then click rent and a price and a screen asking for a User ID pops up.
Preferably with accounts where each account has different privileges.

Coding Snack Guidelines / Re: IDEA: Program to list possible Windows keys based on partial information
« Last post by skwire on April 04, 2014, 12:40 PM »
@lugosi84:  What you're asking for, programmatically, is pretty trivial.  However, there are some problems that I can foresee with your request.

  • You're basically asking for a keygen which, in most (all?) cases, is a no-no.
  • Depending on the number of positions you can make out, you might end up with many hundreds or thousands of combinations.

My vote is to wait for the Profiles feature, then release.   :)
-J-Mac (April 03, 2014, 03:14 AM)

The part that's giving me the most trouble is the sending of series from one profile to another.  What I might do is disable that portion, include a note in the Options tab that that functionality is forthcoming, and release this version.  Not sure yet.

BTW, have you experienced any more of those nasty resize-related freezes with the current version you have?

Great work on V1.1.3 lots of excellent features it just keeps getting better.
-kalvanotherwhen (March 26, 2014, 09:52 PM)

Thanks.  It's getting a lot more complicated code-wise, too, especially with the forthcoming profiles thing.

Re: Search tab options. Add and sorting by columns seem to be the limit of functionality.
Please consider porting the "Web Search" option found in series tab, and weekly tab to search tab results.
-kalvanotherwhen (March 26, 2014, 09:52 PM)

This is a good idea and I've already added it to my dev build.

Hopefully this is not user error but sorting option S01E01 does not save for me.
-kalvanotherwhen (March 26, 2014, 09:52 PM)

Fixed in my dev build.  Thank you for the report.

Is it possible to set the default to load the newest shows at the top instead of bottom. With the option you have now to scroll to the bottom it is nice but, it would be nice for me if it just defaulted to the top with the older shows on the bottom. A per person choice.
-nickodemos (April 02, 2014, 11:41 AM)

Probably not going to happen.  It's a pain in the ass to do proper sorting with the Group option on.

With the new one and having profiles are we going to be bale to switch the shows from one list to another? IE once I finished watching a series and it is cancelled will I be able to movie it from the watch list to the cancelled list?
-nickodemos (April 02, 2014, 11:41 AM)

Yes, and that is the main reason for the aforementioned complexity.  Working with dynamic menus like this in AHK can be a pain in the ass at times.  Plus, I got a little frustrated with failing to get that functionality working properly and put epCheck aside for a bit to focus on some of my other apps.

I don’t think it's user error; I'm experiencing the same thing here.
-J-Mac (April 02, 2014, 10:26 PM)

Thanks for the confirmation.  I have this fixed in the next release.

Otherwise all is well! Looking forward to the next release!
-J-Mac (April 02, 2014, 10:26 PM)

So, I'm at a conundrum right now.  My current dev build has several fixes and tweaks in it but the profiles stuff is not fully implemented so I'm uncertain how I want to proceed.  I could disable the profiles stuff and release it but that would probably only serve to confuse folks.  Maybe if I include a note in the Options tab that the profiles stuff is not currently ready?
