imageGrabLite --import

[Jaggy]

These files are actually "modification time" all in the correct order so I will try just a normal import on them shortly

another problem I am having

There are two other options to --import in newer versions of iGL

--import fillename unique_id channelOID

unique_id is what to use as the NextPVR unique id typically in North America the zap2it id
channeOID is the id of the channel to show a nice icon.

I can't figure out the syntax to get it to add channelOID (it adds a unique_id ...that I don't want....just fine)??

[mvallevand]

The channelOID is a number (the oid in the channel table). If you start livetv the number would be in NRecord.log You can put a bogus unique_id but something must be there

StartStream(####:title)

Attached is the fix to d/l the thetvdb file properly if it hasn't been done already. removed working on ti.

I have spent way too much time on this, I give up.... it just doesn't do it for me I either get a recording that shows as 0 minutes long or one that shows as 2 minutes long whereas it is actually 1:25 long & nothing I have tried will get the channel icon to show...

[Jaggy]

I had break & then another thought & when I went look again at the last few trials I saw it was actually adding the channel icon now so that's all good..... my thought is to use IGL to grab the details etc. & then generate a recording-backup.xml that I can easily edit for re-import that should A: save me time & B: have the right data (recording length etc.) for those recordings.... only problem is your last update (two messages above) seems to have broken it as even re-doing S01E01.ts (yes I renamed to original file on the HDD) doesn't get the data now but it did with the pre-update version.

Going back to the previous version of IGL & I have got all of S01 just fine now...

OK this should fix the problem for the first file in a series not working. Sorry about your troubles using the features for time and channel, that really wasn't meant to be used I figured most people wouldn't care beyond getting it in the database. My real option was to get the unique id in so it wouldn't record duplicates.

No worries it is actually working well, gives me a really good basis for working from & is saving a heap of time..... well worth the time it took me to get if figured out, thanks.

Question: Would the fact that I moved my Db out & let NextPVR create a new blank one (to make the recording-backup small for editing) that I didn't bother to add any channels etc. too (I decided it's easy to add the channel at recording-backup edit time) affect how it grabs the first-run dates?? As the times & length of recording were all totally weird when I imported Grimm S04 & Humans S01 yesterday
(and yes I know, in my last message, I said it was working well & basically overall it is)

[mvallevand]

The database doesn't matter, no. If --first isn't working let me know and end a log, but the duration could be a mess for sure.

Any idea why it's not grabbing first aired date of renaming the file for these Man About The House ones?? logs & xml attached
