Can you download an old version of the cutlist editor?

[maverick#1]

I installed firmware 19.3 on both my T3 and U4 a long time ago but have never been happy with the version of the "cutlist editor" plugin that is included with that firmware. It deletes the bookmarks between cuts, which is really frustrating with some of the recordings I make. For example, when I record rage, I often want to cut out individual songs to separate files. With the cutlist editor that came with FW 17.5, I would bookmark the start & end of all the songs I liked, select "remove before this position" at the start of the song and "remove after this position" at the end of the song, save the edit with a unique name, delete the cuts and move to the next set of bookmarks and repeat. I can't do this with the 19.3 version because it deletes all of the bookmarks in the areas that are cut out.

I tried going online to see if I could download an older version to my U4 via the Download plugins option in Setup but the cutlist editor wasn't listed. I'm guessing that it doesn't show plugins that are already installed but it looked like all of the plugins listed were the FW 19.3 versions anyway.

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to get and install the cutlist editor from the 17.5 firmware?

I could add "preserve bookmarks in cuts" to the menu (which would then become "remove bookmarks in cuts").

That's a great idea!

Install this, restart and you'll have the new option. It will automatically uninstall itself prior to an upgrade (there might be a conflict with epg-hide-hl, if you're using that, too); you will need to reinstall manually.

Thanks adoxa. I installed the plugin update and, after selecting "preserve bookmarks in cuts" in the menu, it fixed the issue with the bookmarks being deleted in areas that are cut out. I particularly liked that you didn't need to select this each time you opened the cutlist editor (it remembers whether you want to preserve or delete bookmarks in cuts).

Unfortunately the new plugin has created other problems. Now, as soon as I select "start cut here", the PVR crashes. It happens every time I select that option on both my U4 and T3. I have included the CutListEditor sections of 2 of the crash logs below in case this might help trace where the problem might be.

Code: Select all

Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Your firmware is too old, install the latest.

Your firmware is too old, install the latest.

Thanks but I don't want to install a release candidate firmware. I always wait until the firmware has been an official public release for a few months before updating (unless I am having a serious issue with the currently installed firmware). I'll just delete the plugin and download the FW 19.3 version again.

Thanks for your help.

There is no point in waiting that long. This version has been released in more or less it's current state (only minor changes) for a couple of months already.

This release candidate is just about to go live, so if you install it now, you don't even need to run the "beta feed" script. You will be fully to to date on what will become the official release.

Overall you will be in a much better place

Aren't you having "a serious issue with the currently installed firmware"?

download the FW 19.3 version again

By the way, "19.3" is not a firmware version. It's the version number of the build environment used to build the firmware and there are many firmware releases that have been built using that environment. Specifically, both the current official release, 201901106, and the current release candidate, 20210901, are "version 19.3".

[maverick#1]

Aren't you having "a serious issue with the currently installed firmware"?

I'd classify it more as a minor issue with a plugin, not a major issue with the firmware I have installed (19.3, Build 20191106). I've had no major issues with this firmware and I'm an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" sort of person, so I'm happy to stick with the firmware I've got installed at the moment.

I'll just delete the plugin and download the FW 19.3 version again.

I think I could have phrased this better. When I said I'd install the FW 19.3 version, I meant that I would delete the updated cutlist editor plugin, then download the version of the plugin available via the Download plugins option in Setup. I thought this would be the version of the plugin that was bundled with firmware 19.3, Build 20191106 as it is listed in Download plugins as something like "cutlist editor (19.3)". So I meant "I'll just delete the updated plugin and download the version of the cutlist editor plugin that was bundled with FW 19.3 version again."
