Problem with Theater Listing

[ddrawley]

The update works for me as well. Thank you for taking the initiative.

If you attach the source code as well, I will put all of this on the wiki for everyone.

Not a problem, I will attach it tonight when I get home from work. I just wanted to get the bugs fixed before putting the source back out.

I put the patches on the wiki, if you want to hang on to the source to see if the wiki generates more responses for bug issues, that is fine. Just post when you are ready.

Cool. Now my next step is to delve into the plugin source code itself and get familiar with that and see if there are any enhancements to do there. Anyone have any ideas of things they would like to see in the plugin? I only have a little bit of spare time to work on these things, but I will do what I can to advance the plugin.

You probably don't want to get into the skinning can of worms....As a skinner, I would like even more control. Don't burden yourself with this if your time is limited.

Well the plugin itself works and displays the information needed, so if the biggest request is more configurability with regards to skinning, I will look into that and work on it for you. I haven't even worked on any code for a plugin for gbpvr, so I will at first time my time to understand how everything interacts. Another thing that was brought up was about the trailers. I will see if I can integrate that as well.

Suggestion: Can you add a 'Coming Soon' button to the Theater Listings screen, which would pull up a schedule of upcoming movies by date, and giving synopses and/or previews, and the movie trailers, if it's been downloaded? A comming attractions list would be useful in and of itself, but it'd also be a great way to browse all the other trailers the gettrailers utility downloads. I imagine it'd be a well recieved feature; I know I'd love to be able to pull up a list of all the movies coming out this weekend along with the trailers!

King_Mob,

I will definitely look into the Coming Soon feature. Definitely something I know my wife would really enjoy. As far as the trailers part, the existing gettrailers utility was written in python compiled into an exe, and the source is not even available. The fandango site does include a link to view a trailer, however it launches a separate window using javascript and passes some numeric values to the window and then plays the video in an embedded media player control. I will see if those numbers correspond to the movie id's and url's needed to get the video files. Unfortunately my time right now is a bit limited due to work and family needs, but I will definitely look into this and get something going.

I have the latest version installed (gb and get theater listings), and it is only getting info for the second theater that fandango lists for my zip code.

I ran the .exe manually and captured the output, and I see the data for the theaters, but not why one is being skipped.

If anyone wants to look at the listing I captured, find it attached.
