Version 1.5 released

[Carlito]

Hey everyone, I have updated the ProgramImageTool on the wiki to a 1.5 release.

Changes include:
Cleaner, more efficient code.

I also added a few commandline arguments that can be passed in.
You can use them as follows:

To download images for all unique shows in your epg simply run as 'ProgramImageTool.exe'

To download images for certain shows run as 'ProgramImageTool.exe /Show "show name"'
This can also be added to your PostProcessing.bat file to load images for shows that have just been recorded

To download images for all shows in your recordings directory run as 'ProgramImageTool.exe /Recordings'
This will search all the folders in your Recordings directory and download images for those.

Please post any questions regarding this new release here.

Hey guys, I made a small change to the program and the newest version can be found on the wiki.
I added another command line parameter /File
This allows you to send in a file name ie. 'D:\Recordings\The Simpsons\The Simpsons_20070106_01300200.mpg' and it will figure out the program name and try to download an image for it.
This should be a lot easier to use in post processing.

I promise I'll stop changing the utility daily now

Well, it seems like i lied...there is another change

Apparently I missed a recent change to the TVListings plugin and how it looks for images. I have posted an updated version of ProgramImageTool that follows these new rules.

I will leave the older version on the wiki as well for users not using the latest and greatest TVListings (updated Dec 2006)

Sorry for all the changes so quickly...Thanks...

I updated the wiki with a few examples of some postprocessing lines that could be useful with the utility. They can be used to copy the images to different directories if using other plugins that like to look somewhere other then media/art for images.

The new version works GREAT Carlito!
Much faster, and it appears to be picking up a little more art than before.
Thanks for the update.

I have uploaded a new version of the tool to the wiki.
It can be downloaded from the wiki by clicking the link in my signature.

Updates:
ProgramImageTool now searches epguides.com, TVGuide.com and IMDB.com for images.
These enhancements were created by JavaWiz and integrated into my utility.
Thanks JavaWiz!

I have left the version which only checks epguides.com on the wiki as well
