New Feature Request - Check WMC state before Update

[bennytheball]

I have a request for a new feature.

After the new guide data has been downloaded, check to see if WMC is doing anything before applying the updates. I may be wrong, but it appears that is WMC is recording a program when the updates are applied the recording is stopped. This has happened to me several times and I don't get the full recording. Sometimes it will also screw up the cable card or the Ceton ETH6 (not sure which) but it will show as still playing while WMC shows it free. A couple days of this in a row and your out of tuners. Does this seem like a doable request? BTW, EPG123 is fantastic and thanks for writing it!

How about schedule the update for a time you know you won't be recording anything? I have mine set for 5am I think.

I actually never tested it out in this scenario. If I can duplicate it, then absolutely, I will make it safe. In the meantime, I would suggest we listen to IT Troll, schedule the updates on an off time.

What did the doctor reply when the patient said "Doc, it hurts when I do this"?
