Theater Listings - no review or posters

[darisb]

I think I'm missing something. I installed the TheaterListings plugin. It works, but I don't get the descriptions or the posters. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Daris

there is a directory called theater under gbpvr what do you see in there?

[reboot]

There are times, when the update just doesn't get the info from the website.
It's a hit and miss thing, as one theatre will have the poster, but no review, and another will have the review but no poster (same movie).
I doubt this is a plugin problem, but I've been wrong before

Actually, I'm getting the same exception error raptoger is getting. I got the error the first couple of times I tried to run it. It actually ran once and gave me the listings once on Tuesday, but no reviews or posters. I checked a couple listings at a couple theaters. There weren't any discriptions or posters in any of the listings.

When I tried running it a couple times last night I got the exception error each time. There is only one file in the theater directory. I don't recall the file name. I believe it's theaters.xml, and the only thing in the file is the line <database /> at the top. That's it.

Thanks,
Daris

I am guessing that fandango has changed there listing format again. We need to find a new source for this information besides fandango.

Well, this morning I gave it another try. This time it workrf. The plugin downloaded the posters and the reviews. I don't know what it is. I guess I'll just have to keep an eye on it.

keep an eye on it. If you see it again I will investigate it.

I am getting an error when updating the listings. I will post it later.

I have just recently started using GBPVR on the actual box I have it on, as it used to just be in a closet and I would only use it for recording via Web Admin. But now I bought a projector so I have that box hooked up to the projector and I can fully utilize GBPVR. Man, I never knew it was full of great surprises.

With that said, I'm afraid I might have installed something incorrectly, so I'm not sure if the error is the plugin's fault, but I will post it for review shortly.

** EDIT **

I went to grab a screenshot of the error, and it is now working. Good deal.

I just installed the theater plugin today (from the link in the wiki), and am having the same problem. The listings are there, but there isn't any posters or reviews available. I opened up theaters.xml and checked some of the urls listed in the reviewLink fields. They appear to be valid links. I've posted the abridged contents of my theater.xml file in case that's helpful. Anyone have any ideas on this one, or is it still hit and miss with when it loads reviews and posters?

I have the same problem. I thought it was due to the addition of the Plain Jane skin, as the posters seemed to stop after I installed it.

Wow, you revived an 18 month old thread!
