TV Listings 2 - Support Thread

[zehd]

Hi,



I guess you pasted the string "premiere" manually into the tvlistings database, which can't be recognized by the plugin. The column "premiere" should contain 'Y' if the programme is a premiere, or nothing if it isn't.

I just double checked that XmltvExtras is doing it correctly; whenever the <premiere> element is present within a <programme>, this show is added with premiere='Y' into the tvlistings database.

THat's what I needed to know. Thanks...

Is it possible to use XMLTVExtras with schedules direct?
I have the following in my PostUpdateEPG.bat file.

XmltvExtras.exe C:\zap2it.xml >>XmltvExtras.log

The C:\zap2it.xml file does exist. But when I run the command I get the following in the XmltvExtras.log.

[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]Error reading C:\zap2it.xml: There is an error in XML document (2, 2).
Exiting.[/COLOR]

I thought the GBPVR's internal schedulesdirect support output an XMLTV compatable file?

What am I missing?

Thanks,

First of all, the native support for SD is not XMLTV. When you change a setting in the config.xml <SaveZap2itXML>true</SaveZap2itXML> then GB-PVR does save an XML file, but it is not in XMLTV format. So xmltvextras will not work.

You may want to get Schedules Direct data using the Generic XMLTV.exe. That way the data is downloaded straight into xmltv format. You can use xmltvextras or other Enhancers (or both) and THEN import the enhanced data into GB-PVR. (all this can happen automatically)

Hi,

it doesn't matter - just the existance of the premiere element indicates the "premiere character" of the show.


The image that will be shown for premiere shows can be adjusted in the skin.xml file of the plugin.

Found a bug then...

here's a record in the original xmltv file:

Code:

<programme start="20080128030000 +0000" stop="20080128040000 +0000" channel="I17609.labs.zap2it.com">
    <title>Battlestar Galactica</title>
    <sub-title>Collaborators</sub-title>
    <desc>(2006-10-27) Without Laura or Adama's knowledge, a secret jury forms aboard Galactica to pass judgment on those who collaborated with the Cylons.

(60 min)
Actors: Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff. </desc>

    <episode-num system="dd_progid">EP00710749.0041</episode-num>
    <episode-num system="onscreen">304</episode-num>
    <audio>
      <stereo>stereo</stereo>
    </audio>
  </programme>

(no <premiere> tag present)

When imported into GB-PVR, that record becomes programm_oid 683431

I then run (after the epg update) the xmltv.xml file on the xmltvextras.exe and the extra data is filled in...

Mosty of all entries that were not tagged <premiere>NEW</premiere> are still marked Y in the extras database, including the example programme above.

Even when I blank the table, or delete the db3, to have a new one created.

But when I choose for my xmltv source to never have a premiere tag (as opposed to only when New Show) the xmltvextras.exe kkeps all Prmiere fields blank (as they should)

I suspect that in your program, the Premiere flag or variable is not being reset to null or empty or whatever, between records as you are cycling through the xmltv file...

yes, it was the database parameter that's being reused all the time - thanks for the report.
I've just fixed the bug and uploaded a new release of the plugin on the wiki.

Hi all. I'm trying to run this by typing it in the command line and I get this weird error:

Any advice?

You're too quick for me. THat manager I'll be talking about will be working with this too.

Anyway, xmltvextras.exe is suppose to be in the gbpvr folder... I think that's why you have the error.

Thanks Zehd, you're the man. That's what it was. I was trying to run this because ultra (as you know) is not cooperating with me.

I put it in the main directory and now it works. however, it only found like 15 items. Oh well, better than nothing!

Thanks, and sorry to be such a pest! :o

I think you'll like Ultra and xmltvextras working together...
