Powerrun Question wtith Pocket TV Browser

[davy19]

Ok I downloaded Powerrun, and it seems to work great so far.

Here is the thing, I can get Pocket TV Browser and the databse to run off the memory card with Powerrun, but how do I get TV Grid Listing to run while the database is on the memory card?


If I run it from internal or from the memory card, it gives me an error that it cannot find the database. Any ideas?


Thanks

In case you didn't see the other post.

Okay, figured it out. Move TV Grid to the MS with PowerRun. Using Filez or McFile or whichever, move the Pocket TV database into the same directory(folder) as TV Grid. It should then work. You will run into a problem when you update the database with the conduit. The app & database will need to be in the main RAM.

thanks

should I move Pocket TV app to the memory stick as well using filez?

Here is what I did:

1. Move TV Browser to MS using Powerrun.
2. Move TV Grid to MS using Powerrun.
3. Using a file manager, make a copy of the TV browser database in the TV Grid directory under the powerrun directory on the MS.

When updating the TV Database (set the TV Browser app on your PC to only update manually) via hotsync move the TV Browser into ram using Powerrun. After you hotsync move TV Browser back to the MS using Powerrun and copy the new database to the TV Grid directory.

It takes me about 5 min longer every 6 days but saves me a couple megs of ram. Other than that the only drawbacks are keeping 2 copies of the database on the MS and the slower speed.

Thanx quagmire. Your procedure is very well defined and probably be what I would have done. I don't use either of those apps, but I did run into the problem when a required database had a different creator ID than the application.
