I have just arrived home today after being abroad for 3 weeks. Once my head stops spinning, I will look at posting the latest INFplus on TTD.

Don't worry to much. Relax first

@DMC: TTD still offers 1.1a as latest version.

I tested the current 2.2b7 from your website. As it seems to work great, it would be great, if you could make it available to your friends via TTD.
Thanks in advance!

Sorry for the delay, I have put version 1.2a on TAPToDate and my web site.

The English documentation has also been updated.

At the moment, I am a little bit confused. The Topfield Europe web site still shows v1.1a, but with today's release date. Running TAPToDate on my PVR shows v1.2a with today's release date.

Changes since v1.1a

• Process 0x8A as a CR/LF.
• Change link() to syscall() to fix bug with AutoDescramble.
• Refine HTML decoding functionality.
• Add ability to jump to end of event.
• Add logo support.
• Fix issue with SmartEPG Clock.
• Fix to prevent overlapping EPG events from forming gaps.
• Fix jump at beginning of playback.
• Dutch translation (Thanks Roger-DTL-Stijfs)

Änderungen seit v1.1a

• 0x8A als Zeilenwechsel (CR/LF) verarbeiten.
• link() durch syscall() ersetzt, um einen Bug mit AutoDescramble zu beheben.
• HTML Dekodierung verbessert.
• Option hinzugefügt, ans Ende eines Events zu springen.
• Logo- Unterstützung hinzugefügt.
• Problem mit der SmartEPG Uhr behoben.
• Fix: Uberlappende EPG-Events erzeugten Lücken.
• Fix Sprung am Anfang der Wiedergabe.
• Niederländische Übersetzung (Danke Roger-DTL-Stijfs)

For reasons of space I have moved several recordings on an external drive.
Especially on recordings with multiple episodes of a series I now lack the extended info from INFplus.
Is there a trick to get the extended information of INFplus?

[quote="DeltaMikeCharlie"]If you use the "Prepare for Archive" / "Archivieren vorb." feature and copy a recording onto external media, when you play the recording from the external media, INFplus will be able to find the data. This feature has existed since version 1.0....[/quote]
Das hört sich ja interessant an aber wo gibt es das Feature "Prepare for Archive" / "Archivieren vorb."?

[macfan]

Wird doch in der INFplus-Legende groß angezeigt - gelbe Taste.

Wer gucken kann, ist klar im Vorteil.
Das heißt aber wohl auch, ich muss alle Aufnahmen, die ich exportieren möchte, erstmal kurz anschauen!? Bei einem Verzeichnis mit 50 oder mehr Aufnahmen etwas zeitraubend.
Wäre das nicht eine Aufgabe für BackgroundCopy

If you use TMSArchive 4.6a+ as your file manager, you can prepare multiple recordings for archive at the same time.

In TMSArchive, use the Red button to select the multiple recordings you want and then use the INFplus activation key. I normally have this key set to "Info" but it can be modified by the user.

The documentation is in English, please see section 2.6 for archiving and section 6 for TMSArchive integration.

If you need to do this frequently, you can make INFplus automatically prepare every new recording by setting configuration item 15 to "Yes". See section 5.12.

If you have already archived some recordings, but you still have the originals on the PVR, you can prepare for archive in INFplus and then only copy the INF again. If you have already deleted the originals the INFplus data is lost.

Thank You DMC, for this hint I will install TMSArchive next time.

TMSArchive ist sowieso ein tolles TAP. Damit kannst du natürlich auch für jeden Film die INFplus-Information sehen, ohne ihn zu starten.

I've now read your documentation for INFplus, especially chapter 5.12.
What would be the disadvantage or what would be the consequences, 'Auto Prepare for Archive' to be constantly active?

[quote="Woodman"]What would be the disadvantage or what would be the consequences, 'Auto Prepare for Archive' to be constantly active?[/quote]

I think that the consequences of setting auto-archive are almost zero. When INFplus detects that a recording is complete, there will be an additional minor file I/O load as it prepares for the archive.

I have 2 Topfield PVRs and I often use TMSServer/TMSClient to play recordings from 1 PVR on the other. On the PVR that I mainly use as the server, I have auto-archive enabled so that I can get the INFplus data on the client PVR. The client PVR does not have auto-archive set. Both PVRs work well and I have not noticed and performance issues.
