Episode bookmarks unlinked when TV Show Information refreshed

[ipsyaera]

I am not sure if this should be posted as a bug report, a feature suggestion, or if I am just doing something wrong, so I started here.

When TV Show Information is refreshed (in video library mode), the episode-bookmark link in the video database is erased. The bookmarks remain, but no longer work properly when attempting to select an episode.

When I check out the video database file, I can see that column 17 in the episode table is reset to -1 upon a refresh. My current workaround is to simply back up my database file before refreshing and then copy column 17 into the new database, which allows episodes to be properly selected again (after a restart).

For reference sake, I am referring to the functionality created by s23x:

Implemented in rev 10494:

BTW s23x, if you read this, thanks so much, I am a big fan of this feature.

column 17 ('c17') in the episode table references the 'idBookmark' number in the bookmark table

hey ipsyaera,

i'm glad you like the feature :)
i can't seem to reproduce this on the latest svn rev (11477). is this still happening for you in recent builds? are you just selecting "update library" from the context menu while in the video library view? would you be able to take a debug log if it's still happening?

Sorry, wrong forum.

This still happens with version 21857 for Windows XP Home.

From what I can tell, it appears to delete the entire episode entry and create a new one with most entries set to defaults instead of just updating the existing entry (why?)

Because that's what it does. The new library code will take this into account.
