TheaterListings request

darisb · 2005-08-10, 03:28 PM

Jorm,

My wife and I really like the TheaterListings plugin. Thanks for creating it. I was playing with it last night and got to thinking. It would be really cool if there was an option to search and select a movie, then drill down to the list of theaters that it's playing in. I don't know if that's feasible, but keep it in mind for future releases.

Thanks,
Daris

that is definitely doable.

And is now done.
The modified version is now posted on wiki.

Can now search by theater or show. ( 2 minute change)

Jorm,

You're the man! You're right up there in the Ubercool league with Sub! I can't wait to get home and try it. Thanks a million.

Glad you are happy.

If you think anything else let me know.

Jorm,

I just got home and gave it a try. It works like a charm. Absolutely brilliant! :p

How long would it take to add a feature to get listings for a future day? Big Grin

The day wouldn't have to be configurable, since new movies usually come out every Friday.

it is already there. Check out the theater page. You can specify the day of the week you want it to run but it is something like (check theater for the exact syntax)

gettheaterlistings 33063 -day5

once you get it working add it to postupdateepg.bat

Thanks for the quick reply. If I understand it correctly, the -dayX parameter tells it to only update the listings if it is day5. What I would was hoping to do is to look up what's playing this upcoming Friday on Monday or Tuesday.
