RT_FilmFix - temporary fix up for Radio Times XMLTV users

[bgowland]

I've moved this over to the Add-ons forum rather than have it clutter the Community Announcements.

Please see [URL="http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?51263-RT_FilmFix-v1.0-temporary-fix-up-for-Radio-Times-XMLTV-users&p=425677#post425677"]RT_FilmFix v1.0 - temporary fix up for Radio Times XMLTV users
[/URL]

I've update things to include better error handling, prefixing the title with 'Film:' and proper use of alternate XMLTV GUI configurations.

Cheers,
Brian

Worked first time for me. Using Joseph LeBlanq's TVGuide to view, I now get lots of films as opposed to none before.

I've certainly not checked the whole EPG, but the first few dozen films look OK and there is no sign of any 'none' films being flagged.

Nice early Christmas present - great stuff - thanks Brian...

Thanks for testing it out Alex and glad it works for you.

Interesting exercise although not without its headaches. I think I've got at least 50% of the code there to make my own RT XMLTV grabber. Another one for the back-burner.

Hi,

I tried to run this and get the following error message

Code:

Unhandled Exception: System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
   at RT_FilmFix.Program.CreateFilmList() in C:\Documents and Settings\gbpvr\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\RT_FilmFix\Program.cs:line 126
   at RT_FilmFix.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\Documents and Settings\gbpvr\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\RT_FilmFix\Program.cs:line 28

My command line was

Code:

RT_FilmFix "C:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI" "C:\XMLTV\data.xml"

and I had RT_FilmFix installed in C\utils

Sorry for the news - is there any obvious error here?

Thanks for the proglet, Sorry, but I get a problem. Haven't had much time to try to double check it as have to do hospital visiting shortly.
I will try it on a "cleaner" machine when I get back.

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\martin\Desktop\junk\film-fix>RT_FilmFix "E:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI" "E:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI\data-hd.xml"

Interesting - you both got a failure at the same point of code. I can see what is happening but don't know why. I've put some error checking in place to hopefully prevent it happening but I'd be curious to see either of your xmltv files.

Updated zip file in my original post.

Only a quickie as I'm passing through.
The extra checking showed a missing file in the cache directory (movie 24 ISTR) and copying another file to the missing file name got rid of the error.
I've not had chance to empty and re inport the EPG, but a quick glance shows a 'film' category shown in some film4 entries.

more later - Thanks
Martin

edit to add a bit.
I use multiple sets of directories and use the command line to create different xmltv.xml files.
I noticed that running your fix on my 'freeview HD' xml file failed with the missing file for movies24 which isn't in that xml file ???

I also just did an import (to gbpvr - yes, sad I know) and it has filled in the genre properly, but I would really have liked it to shove "film:" in front of the title as one of Alan B's post processor options used to to - handy for searching.

thanks again

Hi,

I still get errors as below. I can send you my zipped xmltv file and xmltv cache if it helps - let me know an email address...

OK guys, thanks for the feedback.

@martin123 - I'll have to think about the multiple directories thing, I'll take a look at the code in a short while. I can certainly add a "Film: " prefix to titles if that's what you like.

@garyeuph: I've tweaked the code to properly handle missing cache files. I'll upload a new version after making a few more mods.

Cheers,
Brian

Thinking on, I don't think the multiple generation will have any effect on your prog - they share the cache directory and only have their own 'settings' directory, and you copy the channel ID's into the base directory.

Yup, a film: prefix would be nice.
