UltraXMLTV Enhancer Version 2 - rc1

[BrettB]

I'm using ◦Enhancer: 2.0.3418.22741.

When it processed the xmltv file, it is dropping the <video> ... </video> blocks from the new/output file.

Also, the <star-rating> ... </star-rating> blocks are also being dropped from the new/output file.

Star-rating is added to the title tag.

They are suppose to to be added to the Category section. Try looking for the Video information list as a <category> </category> tag. I don't have any video tags in the original XML file, so I can't say for sure if they are showing up or not.

Star-rating is added to the title tag.

Yes (although in my configuration I took that out). HOWEVER, for GBPVR with the TV Listings plug-in to display the stars, they need to be imported by GBPVR during the EPG load--hence they still need to be in the XML file which it loads in the <star-rating>...</star-rating> block.

And it's nice having the video info loaded into categories, but I need for them to still be written out the XML file, too. That way XmltvExtras can find them and load them into the TV Listings database.

They actually should still be there, exactly for compatibility with TV Listings...

I'll have a look...

I just had a problem where Ultra would hang on a particular record. I track it back to the offending record and noticed that the series XML file (83883.xml for "big ideas for a small planet") seems to be corrupt. It began with

Code:

irstAired>2003-04-10</FirstAired>

Should all series XML files not begin with

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

If so, is it possible to trap for this to possibly avoid Ultra from hanging?

Tom, are you saying the corrupt xml had nothing before what you showed? Yes, I should be able to test for a pass/reject xml based on that header

I checked, and the video (and even the audio) tags are passed through as it is in the original. In other words, if tvlistings/xmltvextra is working correctly, you should have the extra information in TV Listings...

Release: Enhancer: 2.0.3427.27026

It checks for a correct XML header.

Frank,

With the new version, both the video and audio tags are in the output xml file.

What about the <star-rating> blocks? My output file still doesn't have any of those included.

That's something that will require more time than I have for right now...

It's very possible that the problem is the documented one where GB-PVR can't have ratings AND starratings displayed at the same time.
