imageGrabLite - renaming/nfo problems

[airberger]

Hi,

First let me say iGL is great, and with most current programming works fantastic in terms of renaming for purposes of XBMC scraping.

I'm having some problems with some syndicated kids shows on German television. I use the --nfo and --rename tags. The shows have subtitles and can be found on tvdb, will pull art but will then rename the file with a fictional S##E## nomenclature, and not create an nfo file. XBMC is then unable to scrape the file, meaning it won't show up in the XBMC TV Shows database.

If I use only the --nfo tag it works fine, creating an nfo file that XBMC will use to populate the TV Shows database with a fictional episode number. But this is not satisfactory because for most other shows the --rename tag operates much better.

My understanding from reading some related threads (see, e.g., http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post447258 ) is that that where true S##E## info cannot be provided by tvdb, that iGL should create an nfo file rather than creating a false, unscrapeable filename. That would certainly be my preference, however that does not seem to be happening.

Let me know if you need some more info, logs, or a db, or if I haven't explained this well. Getting these kids shows properly imported into XBMC is one of the final hurdles I'm facing with respect to attaining a fully functional XBMC.

Here is a sample log file (run from the command line) for one such show, Wickie und die starken Männer. However, I'm getting the same results with several other kids' shows on the same channel:

What if you delete C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Media/Shows/Wickie und die starken Männer.xml and add another command line option

--language de

Martin

[airberger]

Same result, though the log changes. I think the xml has false OriginalAirDate info in it, it says 2004 when these shows originally aired in the mid 70s, which might explain why there is no match. This episode should get S03E07.

I'll have to check why it didn't use thetvdb and moved on to tvrage.

Martin

[mvallevand]

Can you try this attached update and repeat my instructions in post 2? If it fails I will need your database I can't figure out how to add the ä to a test here

I expect the original air date is from your database.

Martin

[airberger]

You're right about the database - KiKA (German kids channel) seems to report false original air dates for all of these old shows, so it makes sense (to me) that iGL wouldn't find an episode match. My question is, in these cases where no episode match is found, can iGL create an nfo file instead of the false episode rename in these situations?

Here's the log, and a link to my npvr.db file as well. Thanks for your effort!

Thanks that helps, I had a typo in the language parameter to tvdb so it wasn't working. Try again with this one.

Edit: File on wiki

Martin

[airberger]

Hey, that worked! Thanks! (log below if you're interested)

Next question - I record shows from both England and Germany. Is there a way to set it up so the --language argument applies only to certain shows? Maybe in Searchlite.xml or something?

Hmmm - now I have the same problem with another show, from the same channel, even with the new iGL version. This show should get S01E73, and is in the database I sent earlier:

Good, glad that worked. I have found that the en value does get returned when the locale is not found but not vice-verse. Maybe wait to show an example of a problem, maybe I can work around it. You could special case post processing too.

I'll check Yakari
