Frank, the <previously-shown> tag should be as reliable as I can get for the original air date. I will add the <date> tag but it should pretty much just be a copy of the <previously-shown> tag.

My enhancer is working with the Previously-shown tag already (if not exist, must be new)

I noticed in Schedules Direct data, that the <date> is pretty accurate, including dates for New Shows, where I can then compare to the Program show start time.

With the current MCE converter, as we discussed, the Previously-Shown tag has not been reliable... (Paid Programming etc would all be considered new shows...)

So unless you do not find a more reliable date in the raw mce data, you might not have to rework the converter...

The MCE guide does not include original air date for any PPV listings. If there is an original air date present in the MCE data, it is in the MceEpg2XmlTv data. I just double checked my database to make sure I was correct on that.

What I can do is add an option that if it is on a PPV channel, mark all but the initial instances of that show as new. Keep in mind that I cannot anticipate if there was a showing prior to the first listing in the data. In other words if a program started showing repeatedly from 8pm on 1/5 for 24 hours but the guide data starts at 12am on 1/6, then the one that is on at 12am will be listed as "new". All showings after that will be marked as repeats (2am, 4am, etc).

Well if there is nothing new in the MCE data, maybe we don't need to worry about it.

I see the problem with the scenerio you mentioned, one that I hadn't thought about.

I actually meant to say "mark all but the initial one as a repeat" but I think you knew that.

I´ll may be usefull to have a "Title Move Text" just like the "Title Exclude Text" list, but instead of removing It´ll move the text to the end of the title after a ",".

For example: "The Office" will be "Office, The"

PVRX2 already do something like that when you search the guide, but only for american titles (It will sort of ignore "The" "A" "An"), but for regional matters, in Brazil "The" will be translated to "O" and GBPVR won´t do it´s magic with it.

Another example, with the Brazillian The Office title:
"O Escritório" will be "Escritório, O"

I hope my idea was clear enough...

EDIT: Maybe I could ask sub to include something like that into the default search engine. Sub are you reading this?

Thanks.

I did understand! Smile

Personally, I don't like to butcher a Title of a show. There was one case though, in a UK listing where all movies are preceded with 'Film:' I don't like that so I'm able to get rid of it.

I suppose I could add the feature you asked for. I know that I won't use it though...

Hang on. I should have an update soon.

Hey thanks, looks like it worked very well. Thanks for the really fast reply Smile

Another one for a future release: Just and "pt" for the lang drop down box. No need to hurry about that, it´s working fine if I type it.

And thanks again.

Thanks for pointing out that typing in a value works...

Edit actually, I noticed that if you type it in manually, it doesn't stick. So I updated the app to include pt and allow for manually typing a value
