Show sub-title field in EPG from XMLTV Source? - Page 2

Mew · 2007-10-10, 21:23

Hi

You need to bear in mind that the Program table in the database for TVE3 only currently contains the following columns:
Program, channel, startTime, endTime, title, description, seriesNum, episodeNum, genre, originalAirDate, classification, starRating, notify and parentalRating

There is no subtitle column to store the information.

An XMLTV site such as the Radio Times one in the UK also supplies the following information:

Subtitle, Year (for films), Director, Cast, Premiere, Film, Repeat, Subtitles, Widescreen, New Series, Deaf Signed, Black & White, Choice and Duration (in minutes). Some of these are just true/false flags and fields are populated depending on the type of program.

For additional information to appear in the EPG the Program Table would need to be dropped and redefined with the new columns. The XMLTV Plugin in TVE3 would need to be amended, XMLTV grabbers may also have to be updated to supply whatever information is available and MediaPortal would need to be amended to be able to display it properly.

I would imagine that this will be enhanced in time after 0.2.3 Final has been released and the change freeze lifted.

Hi all,

Seems to me that with tv3 is not yet possible show on tv guide and naming the recorded files with the subtitle tag, so I was wondering if is possible give to mediaportal a tvguide.xml "modded file", where each "title" tag become for example "title - sub-title".
