International Cinema Listings plugin version 7.2

[mrxtc89117]

It crashes immediately. My program path is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Devnz\GBPVR\Plugins\InternationalCinemaListings

Vista puts all its 32 bit programs in \program files (x86)

the internationalcinemalistings directory contains
\poster
\trailers
cinemas.xml
films.xml
showings.xml
sources.xml
InternationalCinemaListings_readme.txt
InternationalCinemaListingsPlugIn2.dll dated 08/27/2008
InternationalCinemaListingsUpdater.exe dated 09/27/2008

the plugins\common directory contains
\seriesinfo
CommonGBPVRUtilities.dll dated 01/07/2007
GbpvrUiElements.dll dated 03/01/2007

Hope that helps. Thanks

I installed a new card and now I am unable to view trailers. I have attached the log file, playback settings amd misc config. I have both quicktime and ffdshow. Could anybody help?

Thanks in advance.

Found the thread referencing the QuickTime DirectShow filter. I guess the full QuickTime doesn't have it. I downloaded a couple of versions. The first did not help but the second, from MediaLooks, cured my problem.

Just installed this great plug-in, but it fails to update from imdb. Looking at the log files I noticed the location the plug-in was going to to get updates. I went to the location myself and IMDB said location does not exist. I then manually when to showstimes and put in my zipcode and then found the reason for the failure. Below there is the url the plug in is going to and the actual url that should be used:

incorrect url: http://www.imdb.com/showtimes/cinema/56308/2009-01-28
correct url: http://www.imdb.com/showtimes/location/56308/2009-01-28

Perhaps I'm looking at this to simplisticly, but thought I would put this out in hopes to get it working.

If it's just the URL that's changed, and not the web pages themselves, then you can try replacing cinema with location in the IMDB section of C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\Plugins\InternationalCinemaListings\sources.xml

Code:

<!-- listings URLS -->
    <cinemaURL><![CDATA[http://www.imdb.com/showtimes/cinema/%CINEMAID%/%DATE%]]></cinemaURL>
    <filmLinksURL><![CDATA[http://www.imdb.com/showtimes/cinema/%CINEMAID%/%DATE%]]></filmLinksURL>
    <filmURL><![CDATA[http://www.imdb.com/title/%FILMLINK%]]></filmURL>
    <showingsURL><![CDATA[http://www.imdb.com/showtimes/cinema/%CINEMAID%/%DATE%]]></showingsURL>

to

Code:

<!-- listings URLS -->
    <cinemaURL><![CDATA[http://www.imdb.com/showtimes/location/%CINEMAID%/%DATE%]]></cinemaURL>
    <filmLinksURL><![CDATA[http://www.imdb.com/showtimes/location/%CINEMAID%/%DATE%]]></filmLinksURL>
    <filmURL><![CDATA[http://www.imdb.com/title/%FILMLINK%]]></filmURL>
    <showingsURL><![CDATA[http://www.imdb.com/showtimes/location/%CINEMAID%/%DATE%]]></showingsURL>

Thanks for the quick reply.

I did what you said and I now get the error in the enclosed attachement when starting gbpvr config and I get crash message when the updater runs.

Thanks for your help

Make sure to use notepad to edit the XML file (not Word or something like that). What is on line 139, position 39?

Thank You!

Works great. Thanks for your hard work!

Just so you know, it wont scrape anything on the fandango website for the cinema plugin except the movie titles and times. It looks like the web page changed. I switched to IMDB for now. I liked how clean it scraped with fandango. Great plugin!

Thanks for the heads up. It's because of this type of thing I'm migrating towards Google Movies (as one global source).
