UltraXMLTV_Enhancer: How to add rating only.

[gEd]

Hi Zed

I have been playing around with about 1% of UltraXMLTV_Enhancer abilities in order to simply add the film rating (PG,12, 18 etc) to the description field. (so I can check if a film is ok for the kids to watch)

I couldn't seem to get it added at the start of the description but I eventually worked out how to add it to the end by using only [[description]] and rating in the desc. fields. Great!

Only I now realise that UltraXMLTV_Enhancer has only written the basic xml fields to the new xml file. Specifically, this means that I have now lost the star-ratings info.

How can I write out the rating added to the description and export the star-rating field "as is" to the xml file.

or even

Is there a way to get UltraXMLTV_Enhancer to output the xml file as it was, only with the rating added to the description?

cheers

There is a bug that has been hapening with GB-PVR for many versions (if not, from the beginning) where it takes either ratings OR Starratings, but not both from the xmltv file

Ultra works around some of that, but I think you're asking for a workaraound for my workaround. It's all good. It might be time to draw the bug to sub's attention.

But if it does not get addressed this time around, I'll be looking at my code closer for that type of situation.

I'm very swamped at work right now, so I don't know when I'll be able to spend much time on it though.

no problem, thanks for the response. I ask Sub about it.
