Title request fails with ExtendedPropertyExceededLimitException with WMC package from EPG123 website

[12noon]

This is not an EPG123-specific question, but it is about the WMC package released on the EPG123 website and installed on Windows 8.1. I apologize if I have posted in the wrong location. Perhaps a moderator can move it to the correct place?

The Microsoft WMC on my 8.1 box began to crash after every action. Repairing, reinstalling, rebuilding -- nothing helped. So, I decided to uninstall it and install the WMC package released on the EPG123 website. I also took the opportunity to install the "setup" package of EPG123 1.7.1.7 over my portable 1.6. It is working fine.

However...

I wrote a program that emails me a list of scheduled and completed recordings every morning. It is now unable to request the title and description of scheduled and completed recording events. Every query throws

Code: Select all

ExtendedPropertyExceededLimitException

.

Specifically, the following calls throw:

Code: Select all

ScheduleEvent.GetExtendedProperty("Title")
ScheduleEvent.GetExtendedProperty("Description")

Is there any reason that this "community" package of WMC would not be able to return a ScheduleEvent's Title or Description or that it (or EPG123?) might query those properties so much that it maxes them out every day?
