Thanks! I just set mine for 100MB. We'll see how that goes.

I have some (back burner) ideas for enhancing this utility. When (if) I get time I may incorporate them.

Right now my ~50MB increase is 13MB and begins on 5/4/2018. It currently has a little over 7,000 entries. Based on my recording habits the increased file size should hold years worth of recording history... Yours? Maybe decades. ;)

I have under 6000 entries. And that was from the past year. I may have cleared the history without realizing what I'm doing last year.

Does WMC use the history to determine of something has been recorded or not? (I would think so or we'd get a LOT of repeats over time which does still happen). I might get 2 copies of Gold Rush on one night (the normal time, and then in the wee hours of the AM).

There's a lot of duplication in some of the recordings. But then this may be how WMC works.

WMC does keep a history of recorded episodes, but it is not the Event Viewer logs that is being discussed in this thread. Those are just logs and are not used for anything other than that.

For each Series, there is a list of recorded episodes maintained by that Series (there is no way in WMC to see this list). The purpose is so that no Series ever records the same episode more than once. As you have discovered, there is a bug that can cause it to sometimes record some episodes more than once. It appears that it sometimes happens when episodes are first in the guide as generic (so they are set to record) and then later, gets episode specific data through a guide update (although I'm not sure this is required for this bug to happen, it is just how I've noticed it). Generally this means that those episodes that were in the guide as generic at the time of the update, continue to be scheduled to record, even though they are all the same episode (and therefore only one of them should be scheduled to record).

Note that if you delete a Series and re-create it, the list of already recorded episodes is also deleted (for that Series only), so it will start recording episodes that were already recorded in the past (if you use New & Rerun setting). It is possible to have two separate Series that will record the same episode separately, therefore recording it twice. For instance if you have one Series that records "Friends" episodes, and another that records "Actor: Jennifer Aniston". Each Series maintains there own separate history of recorded episodes.

My .02$ dollar cents...

Space and IT Troll have a much better grasp of the inner workings of WMC's recording history. I use a simple read of the event log. That's why if you clear the log, my utility appears to start at the clearing (or rollover) date while WMC still knows which episodes have been recorded.

Another "back burner" project of mine is to design a means to create a grandfather/father/son (or more) nightly backup of the Media Center event log and a means to restore one of them if needed. :think:

Hey StinkyImp,
Today I had occasion to use your recordings.exe program to look up an event. Thank you so much for creating it. I did notice one thing that was listed in the WMC History List that does not appear in your list. And that is an error code.

You had:
1/27/2021 10:00:03 PM - Warning - For Life: s02e06 354 was not recorded due to an unexpected failure.
1/27/2021 10:00:05 PM - Warning - For Life: s02e06 354 was not recorded due to an unexpected failure.

What was missing was the error code 0xC0040524 which told me that one of my tuners locked up. If you could list the Tuner name or address that would be really helpful, too. I haven't looked lately at the actual Events listing in awhile so I'm not sure whether that information is even there or not.

Hi Gripweed! :wave:

Yeah... That's actually one of my back burner ideas. That utility started out as a quick and dirty "proof of concept" and that's pretty much where it ended. One of these days (when I get the time) I'll probably work on that and the other enhancements I have in mind.

Thank you for giving it a try and thanks for your feedback! ;)

For anyone interested, I've made a minor change that I feel makes it a little more useful. I've found that I don't have easy access to error codes, but I do have access to EventID's so I've added them to the output file along with a legend.

For anyone that's interested... I made a few changes. The two major changes are:
  1. When first opened it takes a little longer but it extracts the list of shows from your history to present in a drop down box. You can also start typing in the box to filter the list or even type a search term of your choosing.
  2. Since day one It has created search files which accumulate in the folder it's run from. I created the means to "Delete all previous search history" if desired.
...and some minor interface changes and code optimization and cleanup.

Image

This version is located in the WMC Recording History folder, Version 1.3.

As usual... this version is fully backward, forward, sideways, past, and future compatible with every other version. Just drop this "Recordings.exe" over your existing one. If you want to go back a version, simply overwrite this with a previous version!

If you run into any issues, please let me know.

Enjoy! :thumbup:

On some of my other utilities I have it check for the Windows edition and then have it pop up a message saying it won't run on Win10. I don't have a Win10 WMC system so I really can't do any testing.

Can you post an image showing the contents of the folder?

It's not really doing anything complex. It's "reading" the Media Center event log and creating a text file to work from. I wonder if Win10 does something different with that event log since it's not authorized?

I looked up this code and of all the reasons listed it's most likely a DEP issue.

Note: I don't sign my code and I always set them to run "AsInvoker". Win 7 & 8 are pretty lenient about that.

Random thought -> Did you "unblock" the executable after you downloaded it?

Another random thought -> Using Win 7 compatibility mode might help.

Yes, I unblocked the file. Unfortunately, using compatibility modes (and running as administrator) don't help.

Never mind, I was just curious as to how useful it was.

Interesting... Here are the steps it performs:
  1. Reads the contents of the Media Center event log and writes it to RawRecordings.txt. It appears this was successful. If you open that file in Notepad it should be a line-for-line duplicate (albeit in raw format) of the recording history in WMC (Recorded TV -> View Scheduled -> History)
  2. After a slight pause it goes through that raw file and extracts the show names, removes duplicates, sorts them, and finally writes them to NewLine Output.txt. I wonder if this is where it failed?
  3. At that point it loads the show names and the GUI opens. That's pretty much it.
The reason I think it failed at the show collection (step 2) is that upon a graceful exit those two files are deleted in preparation for the next execution.

EDIT: One of the reasons given for that exception code was a memory error. I disregarded it because I didn't think that could be the cause.

In Step 1 I create a binary buffer (allocated memory) to create that file and then release that buffer.

In Step 2 I create a much larger binary buffer to do the heavy lifting of that process. If there was a buffer overflow I would have thought there would be an onscreen warning.

Would you be so kind as to DM me your RawRecordings.txt file? I'll insert it between step 1 and 2 and see if it hangs on my system.

Interesting... I couldn't replicate your error. I set up a test environment on my Windows 10 system and stepping through line-by-line and then at full throttle I couldn't get it to fail.

For some reason the forum blows my images up to gargantuan proportions so... See the image here.

It also generated reports as it was designed.

Using your "RawRecordings.txt" file I was able to reproduce this entire string of events. I'll have to dig in deeper but a cursory inspection indicates the Unicode characters in your file are being converted to high ANSI characters.

It appears that Microsoft changed the behavior (in Win10) of the underlying Win32 function used by my "remove duplicates and sort" functions and added new key/value pairs which are causing the failure when trying to process high ANSI characters. This exception is consistently reproducible using your file. For some reason the file created by my system (Win 10 Home x64 1709) doesn't exhibit this quirk? :think:

That's also why Win7 can process your "RawRecordings.txt" file without failing. There are other ways to perform those remove/sort processes but they aren't as fast or efficient as the method I selected. :(

You could try version 1.2 until I find a way around this. It's more manual (i.e. you have to actually type the show name or copy/paste it into the search box) but it doesn't include any of the functions that are causing this fault.

As I've mentioned previously, this started out as a "proof of concept". In the meantime it became a fidget spinner (fun, but of no practical use).

The latest iteration (v1.3) was the result of nothing more than laziness. UGH... I have to actually type a show name! How pedestrian! :wtf:

The majority All of my utilities are designed for Win7 since that's the platform I personally use. Some of them have been tested on Win10 and work famously. This is one of those cases where a core feature in Win10 has changed the operation. Kind of like the hoops needed to get WMC working on Win10.

In fact, the error I'm encountering is very similar to one of the issues that had to be overcome with WMC on later versions of Windows 10.

I'm grateful that there folks like you out there that freely give others access to their projects. That is what makes the world go round IMHO.
