Plugin: Theater

They might have changed their format. Try an area code like 90210. And see if there is anything

BTW, I added a sub menu called "Utils" and I have a button there as a "Custom Task Setting"  It points to the GetTheaterListings.exe with the arguments box having my zip code.  Then from my MVP, I can refresh the listings without going down to the basement and running it.

This isn't working for me at all. Any zip code produces "Invalid area code"

Same problem here. I've sniffed the network connection, and fandango's returning the page you'd expect. I guess the format of the page has changed and the utility is looking for a different format. I'll check the source out a little bit later and see if I can figure out what is wrong with the utility not parsing the page correctly.

Well, it looks like (to answer my own problem) it was using the old code. Newest download worked like a charm. Great plugin. If you're having the same problem, make sure to downloaded the newest version (from the wiki), get rid of all the old files, and install that one. Edit getlistings.bat with your zip-code and viola!

glad it is working.

Does the theater module work for the UK and if so, how do I get the 'GetTheaterListings.exe' to recognise the postcode? - I tried C:\GetTheaterListings.exe (+ my postcode) and it doesnt recognise this.

It currently only uses fandango. But you can modify the grabber to work with a UK theater site. I can help you with this.

Do you know how to do any coding? It is fairly easy just need to play with the html data.
