Great, that solves my problem, thanks!

@Woodman,


1. What are you trying to achieve?

Sometimes it gives multiple seasons in one recording and I want to archive this on a DVD so I need the information for all seasons (series).

2.That is correct.

Unfortunately, in Australia our MPG recordings do not contain EPG data, only audio, video and subtitles....

Oh, thats to bad, the .rec file is the original TS. So for my purposes I can use TFInfo to extract all EPG information.
Thank you for your attention.

I have uploaded a version 1.1 Alpha 4 of INFplus for anyone who wishes to test it.

Additional features:

• Option to automatically "Prepare for Archive" when a recording stops.
• Option to hide the recording thumbnails when the INFplus screen is displayed.
• Improved interaction with TMA1.
• Detect and forbid TMA1 and auto-archive when INFplus is displayed on screen. Please note: If a recording ends whilst INFplus is displayed, auto-archive WILL NOT be performed.

This is not a full release. The TAP and LNG files need to be manually copied over an existing full installation from TAPtoDate. The 2 new options are OFF by default and need to be enabled if they are required. Once I have finished the integration work with TMA1, I will issue a formal release via TAPtoDate.

Although I have done some testing, that testing was not exhaustive so there still may be critical bugs, hence the "Alpha" status of this version. Proceed with care.

At the moment, I have to disable external operations when INFplus is displayed on screen to protect the integrity of the data displayed on screen. This is due to the internal operation of the TAP and would involve some significant revisions in the code to resolve.

I think that I have discovered a small problem that means that the auto-archive function is not always performed.

It appears that if the PVR comes out of standby to make a recording and then returns to standby after the recording has finished, there is a strong probability that auto-archiving will not occur because the PVR will have shut-down before INFplus can detect that the recording has ended and perform the archiving.

I need to do some more testing. Units running 24x7 should not have this problem.

Has anyone else seen this occur?

I'm using the version before 1.1 Alpha 4 and all is OK. That means: all information to the current record is stored.

It has recently come to my attention that INFplus may not be calculating jumps properly on all European models. Has anyone noticed this phenomenon? The jump accuracy should probably get worse the closer to the end of a recording that the programme occurs.

I need some volumeters to run this new version and post some information from their log files please. Ideally, I would like to test on European free-to-air, cable and satellite models.

I have posted INFplus version 1.1 Alpha 8.

To test:

1) Download and manually install this version.
2) Set logging to detailed.
For multiple recordings, both HD & SD if you can:
3) Start playback.
4) Display INFplus.
5) Jump near to the last programme in the recording.Repeat for multiple recordings.
6) Copy "/ProgramFiles/Settings/INFplus/Logs/INFplus.log to your computer." You can just post the log to the forum. If you like, you could use a text editor and search for "bytes, block factor" and just post the "block factor"s that you have to the forum.
7) Return logging to the original setting, usually "None".

When you post your response to the forum, please let me know if you have a free-to-air, cable or satellite model.

Any help would be appreciated.

In additional to the extra logging data described above, version 1.1 Alpha 8 has the following changes:

1) Increased stability interacting with TMA1.
2) Ability to unload/reload the TAP multiple times without freezing the PVR.
3) Under certain circumstances, the auto-archive will not work when a timer recording finishes and the PVR powers-off prior to a polling cycle. At start-up, this new version will test for flagged recordings that have not been prepared for archiving and prepare them.

I plan to release a new version on TAPToDate at roughly the same time that TMA1 makes its TAPToDate debut.

Sorry, there was an extra space. Try again.

Da mein Englisch weniger gut ist (und dieser Thread großteils in Englisch geführt wurde) kann sein, dass ich hier eine Frage stelle, die schon beantwortet wurde. Sollte das der Fall sein. Sorry.

Jedenfalls meine Frage:
Wie weise ich einer Aufnahme die gewünschten erweiterten Infos aus InfPlus "direkt" zu, also so, dass durch einfaches Drücken der I-Taste ausschließlich diese angezeigt werden?

Und:
Kann man diese Infos auch "nachträglich" zuweisen (soll heißen; aus bspw. anderen Aufnahmen)?


Zur Erklärung:
Ich nutze TMS-A und InfPlus.
Wenn ich im Archiv eine Filmdatei auswähle und die Info-Taste etwas länger drücke werden mir diese Infos angezeigt; in aller Regel sind dann die mittleren Angaben die, die zum eigentlichen Film passen.
Wie gesagt: In der Regel.

Aber keine Regel ohne Ausnahme.

Ich hab gestern Abend eine Doppelfolge von "Insp. Barn." aufgenommen. Ich hab zwar in Smart-EPG angegeben, dass ich bei Doppelfolgen trotzdem lieber einzelne Aufnahmen wollte, aber aus irgendwelchen Gründen hat das leider nicht geklappt.

Also habich dieDoppelaufnahme heute per MC geteilt und die jew. passenden Filmelemente als neue Datei gespeichert.
Offensichtlich gehen dabei die InfPlus-Infos verloren. Denn:

Im ungeschnittenen File wurde mir als "normale" Info die des zweiten Films angezeigt.
Per InfPlus-Funktion aufgerufen wurde hier diese auch als die 2., also die "mittleren" Infos angezeigt. Soweit also "ganz normal", auch, dass mir der Titel der 2. Sendung als Gesamt-Titel angezeigt wurde, kann ich noch irgendwie nachvollziehen (liegt vielleicht auch daran, dass ich diesmal KEINEN Vorlauf einprogrammiert hatte, da dis zu Überschneidungen geführt hätte).

Jedenfalls habe ich nun 2 neue Files, die beide ausschließlich die erw. Infos des zweiten Teils zeigen, die anderen sind nicht mehr aufrufbar.

Ich hab mal das "Reststück" der Aufnahme (bestehend eigentlich nur aus wenigen Sekunden "Vorlauf" und dem Nachlauf, dafür aber mit allen gewünschten erweiterten Infos von InfPlus) noch im Archiv; für alle Fälle.

No need to apologise for posting in German, this is a European forum. My German skills are very bad so I need to respond in English.

Unfortunately, the online translation tools that I use were not able to provide a sensible translation of your request. I will need one of the German-speaking forum members identify the important bits.

Some things that I think may help:

In TMSArchive, if you set the INFplus key to "Info", then you do not need to do a long press to display INFplus, a normal press of "Info" will display INFplus and a long press will call the standard TMSArchive info screen. The standard TMSArchive info screen will always sho if there is no INFplus data.

If you have used MovieCutter to cut a recording, then the results with INFplus will be unpredictable.

There is currently no way to copy INFplus data between recordings or into the standard Topfield "INF" data file. You can "Prepare for archive / Archivieren vorb.", but that just allows the INFplus data to be copied to an external drive, it does not copy data between recordings.

[Bernhard75045]

Thanks for the reply.

I think I got as far understood what you said.
Too bad that you can not save the InfPlus information as a permanent "normal" info, but that's not really bad.

Slightly more it disappoints me that you can not subsequently assign a file the information.

But you can not have everything.

So, this answer I've ever written and translated by Goggle in German. If the translation exactly looks like in inverse case, I hope you enjoy reading!


Danke für die Antwort.
Ich denke, ich hab soweit verstanden, was du gesagt hast.
Schade, dass man die InfPlus-Infos nicht als dauerhafte "normale" Infos speichern kann, aber das ist ja nicht wirklich schlimm.

Etwas mehr enttäuscht es mich, dass man die Infos nicht nachträglich einer Datei zuordnen kann.

Aber man kann ja nicht alles haben.

So, diese Antwort hab ich mal in Deutsch geschrieben und per Goggle übersetzen lassen. Falls die Übersetzung genau so ausschaut wie in umgekehrtem Fall wünsche ich viel Vergnügen beim Lesen!

OT: scheinbar klappt das Übersetzen deutsch - englisch besser als andersrum

In light of Bernhard's recent questions and some comments posted on the SmartEPG wishlist thread, I am thinking about a new feature for INFplus.

Prior to playback, the problem seems to be that the PVR saves details for the wrong EPG event into the INF on occasion (this was actually one of the motivations for writing INFplus) and any TAP/Firmware function that uses the standard INF also gets the wrong EPG event. The logical step would be for INFplus to update the INF with the correct EPG information, but which EPG event is the correct one?

I can think of 4 modes that could be used as options:

1. Manually (Set the INF event to be the one currently highlighted in the INFplus window)
2. Automatically, using the first whole EPG event.
3. Automatically, using the last whole EPG event. (But I think this is what the PVR does anyway).
4. Automatically, writing a summary of all of the whole EPG events captured in the recording into the INF description.

There is also a possibility that I could try and automatically match the recording file name to an EPG event captured by INFplus and use that one, but this would be far more difficult and prone to error.

This enhancement would probably have to be scheduled for after I have finished working on TMA1, TMSServer and TMSClient.

In some ways, this would reduce the need to use the INFplus screen to look at the EPG events, but if this would be more helpful, then I will consider it.

One last option may also to provide an alternate activation key for when playback is in progress. INFplus will normally activate during playback if "Info" is pressed. But if another TAP intercepts "Info" then INFplus is not activated. "Info" was the logical choice, but as an alternative, I could code for a secondary user-defined activation code that is not intercepted by another TAP.

Any thoughts or opinions?

It would be very nice to activate another key. Although i have no key free in the moment.

Sorry, aber diesmal hab ich leider zu wenig verstanden, um mitreden zu können.
Die Google-Übersetzung hilft leider auch nicht weiter, bringt eher noch mehr Verwirrung. Ich weiß nur, dass sich DMC Überlegungen zu neuen Funktionen macht.
Vielleicht kann ja ein User mit besseren Sprachkenntnissen das Wesentliche zusammenfassen...

Sorry, but this time I've unfortunately seen too little to be able to talk to.
Unfortunately, the Google translation will not help either, brings rather more confusion. I only know that makes DMC consideration of new features.
Maybe a user can even combine with better language skills is essential ...
(This is a Google translation)

[camello]

If SE would support INF+ we wouldn't need an alternate activation key.
