new indicator where it shouldn't be

[pBS]

and zap2xml data from zap2it website...

btw, mc2xml can also use json service as well as older method..

sure...

I wonder if they're just putting <new> on any entries that don't have a previously shown date?

ie, NextPVR is already deciding an xmltv listing is new if it's not explicitly listed as having been previously shown.

[pBS]

maybe so... i can't find any that don't, but it's hard to search on that..

[sub]

Yeah I tried looking too, but it's bit hard to check.

[pBS]

aha, i made an .xslt transform to weed it out and yes, that is correct except for movies with episode num starting with MV like i heard you mention before..

Code:

<xsl:if test="( not(contains(title,'*')) and (not(previously-shown)) ) ">

[pBS]

oh, and he says he gets the 'new' tags from sd....but i also get the new tags in regular[non-json] method too..so asked him for clarification on that..
i believe he's just using the new tag that comes from sd..not adding it himself..

[pBS]

yes, he confirmed that he new tags are coming from sd, he's not adding any himself...

so all that's needed is a setting to use the new tags from sd and nothing else for sd .xml imports..would then match native sd usage..

[sub]

It's already using the 'new' tag from SD.

This is the logic that it currently uses:

Code:

// first airing                                    
                        epgEvent.FirstRun = true;
                        if (epgEvent.UniqueID.StartsWith("EP") || epgEvent.UniqueID.StartsWith("SH") || epgEvent.UniqueID.StartsWith("MV"))
                        {
                            if (programObject["new"] != null)
                            {
                                epgEvent.FirstRun = (bool)programObject["new"];
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                epgEvent.FirstRun = false;
                            }
                        }
                        else if (epgEvent.UniqueID.StartsWith("SP"))
                        {
                            epgEvent.FirstRun = false;
                            if (programObject["liveTapeDelay"] != null && (string)programObject["liveTapeDelay"] == "Live")
                            {
                                epgEvent.FirstRun = true;
                            }
                        }

[pBS]

hmmm, but my '*' tags don't line up with the 'new' flag in guide.. wayyy to many new tags compared with *'s...
i'll see if i can figure out what the diff is...

[sub]

That is the logic for built-in SD support.

XMLTV is a little different. With this it's assumed all shows are new, unless it has <previously-shown> set, or has "®" at the end of the title.
