Plugin update : UK Cinema Listings

[McBainUK]

Please note that UK Cinema Listings should be treated as beta (ie still in testing). As there seems to be some interest in this plugin, over the next few weeks I will be doing a lot of code reviewing and testing with as many cinemas/films and possible. Will also add error checking so it will cope better.

Thanks for your patience - McBainUK (16th November 2005)

In the mean time let me know about any problems, happy to help

I have just installed the UK cinema listings plugin into a fresh install of GBPVR v9.4.13. However, I get the following error in my log file:

Anyone tell me where the CommonGBPVRUtilities dll comes from? It does not appear to be in my gbpvr directory.

Thanks,

Ah ha, found in on Wiki, maybe you could update the installations to let the installer know that they need to download this DLL and maybe include the URL where it can be found:

OK, time to play with the plugin - been looking for a UK version of the theatre listings, thanks McBainUK :-)

Hi McBainUK,

I too get the same 'Index was out of range' message. Initially I though that it was if I used multiple cinemas, however I have found that one of my cinemas in particular is causing the problem (1056537). Hope this helps you to sort out the problem posted by others too.

Other cinemas that I have tried work great, thanks for the plugin. Good luck in ironing out the problems.

Cheers,
sweatherly

Wiki has been updated. Gosh Im :o with all these thanks.

Index out of range is (almost) always caused when my html parser cant find what its looking for. In your case sweatherly it can't find the 'booking' telephone number, in the cineama tkgafs is using has no 'num of screens' info. In my next release these kinds of errors will be handled.

Sorry for making you guys beta testers with the previous releases but didn't think it would get used so much. Thought I was the only UK GBPVR user

I figured out the same as sweatherly, it was just one cinema that was causing the problem: 1037339 Cineworld, Cambridge. Removing this and leaving the other two Cambridge cinemas means it works just fine. Thanks for your efforts.
