Add scrobble support for Live TV / Recorded TV (1 Viewer)

It would be awesome if I could hear if this is still a possibility in the nearby future: https://github.com/Technicolour/Trakt-for-Mediaportal/issues/1

I definitely want to get Recorded TV supported for scrobbling, will take a look soon

Maybe as a temporary workaround for now with Movies is if you Scan the movie using the F9/F3 IMDB option, this will then enter the movie info into the videos database. I think then it should get picked up by the My Videos plugin handler if enabled. Not 100% sure if that will work but it should I think. When we add native support we will hook into the Recorded TV API and get the information from the recording if available.

For TVShows with Season/Episode info we will definitely need to look at native support, hopefully those properties can be picked up by the Recorded TV API or by skin properties.

I think I know the answer to this but I'll ask anyways. Does this plugin scrobble live live TV?

Not yet zvap, still need to investigate this.

thanks. Obviously I didn't post this in this thread. The thread title kind of answers my Q. I don't want anyone thinking I'm a complete loon (I AM a loon, just not a complete loon)

If there is no good way to get that information, let us know - providing more useful information to 3rd party plugins is quite important.

Hi tourettes, I have added Recorded-TV support for trakt for now and seems to be working good, I will release a test dll shortly. To get the recording info im using the following:

TvBusinessLayer layer = new TvBusinessLayer();
Recording recording = layer.GetRecordingByFileName(filename);

For movies and shows the best way to get a match on trakt is to use imdb/tmdb/tvdb ids but since this is not available on the recording object we fall back to title+year matching for movies and title+seasonidx+episodeidx for tv-episodes. I have tested movies using the Australian EPG (standard over-the-air one) and for the recording.Title field I get back Title (Year) e.g. S.W.A.T. (2003), from that I can split the two and get title and year separately. Episodes however is another story, the Aussie EPG only returns the Title, the recording.SeriesNum and recording.EpisodeNum fields are empty. I hope EPG data from other countries has valid info for those fields otherwise scrobbling episodes cant be done for those users.

I have a question about the Recording object, there are two fields EpisodeNum and EpisodeNumber, what is the difference?

Cheers

AW: Add scrobble support for Live TV / Recorded TV

Hello I have a question. In which way the scrobbling works. Will it scrobbel to after you switch to the channel ? Because this is not good, wehen you are zapping between the channels. I hope it will only scrobble when you have watched 90 % of the the Movie, Serie, for example.

Yes, when LiveTV is implemented we will only scrobble after you have watched 80-90% of the program.

So it will probably work like this. You will turn on tv or switch channel, we will wait a small period of time and confirm you are still watching that channel and then send the watching state...then after a period of time (depending on progress/duration) we will either send a cancelwatching or scrobble (watched) state.

I got a forum reminder that there were replies in this thread. I apalogize for not sending the XML as I promised, I totally forgot! Look forward to testing though, curious to see what happens since my EPG does not have episode numbers.
