That should give you new show markers...

As a test, I've uploaded a new build that will use its own local copy of system.xml.dll
What this means is, rather than rely on the version that should be on your computer in a more 'central' location, we'll use one that I'm pretty sure works. Though it might still be the xmltv.dll and its reference to system.xml.dll. Then again, I might not be troubleshooting the logs correctly For lurkers, here's the exception LewE got Code: See the end of this message for details on invoking

Frank, ignore the first part of my email. I downloaded the new version and I'll test this tomorrow for xmltv.dll errors.

I found the only reliable way to determine if a show was a first run was to compare the original air date against the current date. Yes that is true...The same goes for xmltv gathered with mc2xml... I'm working to create a littel bit more checking, and use previouslyshown, matching dates, New tag and other markers to give clues... I'm looking at my old vb6 code, and think that much of the testing hinges on Movie detection, so I'll be doing something about that too. The very last build uploaded isn't dependant on a local copy of System.xml.dll any more (doesn't hurt if the file sits there though) I need to know if the latest build works for you... Thanks 2.0.3347.23639

Zehd: The wiki page is superbly detailed but I think it might benefit from an intro that actually explains what UltraXMLTV Enhancer sets out to accomplish and what prerequisites (if any) exist.

It ran cleanly and the lisitngs in GBPVR looked like they should. Now that Ultra2 runs so quickly, I don't have any qualms of running UpdateEPG.bat anymore. I was looking at the Series Lookup in EPG function. That is really neat, to be able to scroll through all of the episode descriptions just by using the roller on the mouse.

I'll take that 2 cents. Of course we all know that I'm not ready for NEW users :-) I've already broke you guys in... Or maybe the other way 'round... A picture is a thousand words, and I think I will have a before and after of the same data, to show how it can benefit...

A reminder that I was playing with many of the routines that will result in the new Ultra Renamer, yet actual file renaming isn't enabled yet. Please pay attention to what steps you are taking when you 'break' something I'm releasing a version soon enough that will disable the UpdateEPG.bat, call the grabber manually and call GBPVR EPG Update all from inside Ultra. And I'm playing with a zip and send routine that will upload logs, settings files and even the xmltv.xml file itself to a common server, where I can download and check...

Using Version 23639, I noticed that a movie from 2008 was flagged with an asterisk to indicate a first showing of a series and it did not show the release date of the movie.
I've attached the portion of the xml file for the movie. It may be the wrong showing (the movie was being repeated several times during the 14 days of the download) because I didn't want to take the time to figure the offset from GMT. |
