New XMLTV Enhancer and more...

[zehd]

Ok, I wasn't choosing credits, that's why it didn't show up in the log. However, now I chose it and I still get nothing..just plain old tv guide and not enhanced.

Well, the settings imported fine, and I was able to get something...

It's almost like Yapi is getting listings, Ultra is enhancing, but GB-PVR isn't importing the file.

Try checking you xmltv setting in the capture source in the GB-PVR config. You need to be sure that it's the same file that yapi is downloading and Ultra is enhancing.

(And that's the reason why I suggested using the c:\epg director...)

Give that a shot...

I will need another few days and then I'm releasing a XMLTV Manager that will help diagnose problems like this...

I figured it out!

I have the updateepg.bat file in the gbpvr and it contains:
"c:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Third Party\yapi2xml\yapi2xml.exe" update

So I would make changes via ultraxmltv, hit UPDATE EPG and it would run the bat file and reload a new schedule from the web every time.

So the order in which things occurred is screwed up. I may need some advice on what is better.

I believe I should leave that line in the updateepg.bat file but add one more right after it to kick off ultraxmltv AFTER the download, right? So when i hit update epg it will download the next 2 weeks of programming via yapi, then it will automatically kick off ultra in order to enhance..

Please someone double check my logic. Thanks for the help

You're absolutely correct...

Code:

C:\EPG\UltraXMLTV_Enhancer\UltraXMLTV_Enhancer.exe c:\epg\xmltv.xml

IN the above example, the enhancer will process the xmltv file in the c:\epg folder. Check where you xmltv file is being created. if it's in the Yapi folder, your updateEPG may look like this

Code:

"c:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Third Party\yapi2xml\yapi2xml.exe" update

"C:\EPG\UltraXMLTV_Enhancer\UltraXMLTV_Enhancer.exe" "c:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Third Party\yapi2xml\yapi2xml.xml"

Remember to edit the lines to reflect the real paths. If I remember correctly, you didn't have the enhancer in the default location...

Very good, thanks for the quick response.

I wasn't sure about the quotation marks, why is it needed sometimes and not others in batch files?

Any time you have something with a long file name that has spaces, you need quotes.

Glad it's working

Done. I did it anyway, after resonding to the last post...

I hate to be dense, but I see no change to 'date' tag handling in 1.1.41. Should I have? Or is this coming later? BTW, I didn't mean to be so hasty in declaring your tool 'broken' :o; your efforts are appreciated.

I don't think either of us are dense. Perhaps not understanding each other.

This is the way I thought you had a problem. You select Date to prepend to desc. Also in the Movie subform, you have it set to add the date to title...

Before the latest fix, Whenever there was a movie, and the date was prepended to the title, it became absent from the beginning of the description. At that point I said that it couldn't be in two places at once. And I suggested using the Previously-shown date for Prepend to Desc, and DATE for Movie Titles.

After I had said that, I did change the program so that it could be in ywo places at once. If you have a movie, you'll see the date tag in the title and wherever you had the date tag going (selected from main form, Append to Desc, Prepend to Desc)

BTW. If you have both Previously-shown and Date, set to prepend to the description, only the Previously-shown date will be shown.

I did that, because the two dates are redundant in most cases. But I suppose, I could remove that, and just let the user choose what he/she wants....

edit... I've decided, next release will have both tags display where you select. Only Date can be appended to title for movies...

zehd, I appreciate the effort to understand my situation. I still think I'm missing something here.

Given my settings for 'date' of "Add date to title" for movies and 'prepend to desc', I'm seeing movies processed correctly in v1.1.41... the date is added to the title as expected. For a movie listing, I personally don't care whether the date is added anywhere else for that specific listing.

For any other (non-movie) listing, I would expect the date to be handled as per the settings and I'm NOT seeing that happen. The date is not added to the description, although it does disappear from the processed XML file. This is not what I expected. v1.1.2 is the last version that processed dates as I expected in all cases.

To be clear, for non Movies, with dates (you know the dates are present because you have checked the preprocessed xmltv) AND with you selecting for the date action 'prepend to desc', you don't get a date to appear?

Hmm. I have have had that working for a long time. Maybe because you have something selected for Previously-shown. Oh well. The latest version (as yet unrealeased) should fix this...

That's correct. I'll look forward to the next version. Thanks!
