Data from TV-recordings-xml-file (1 Viewer)

[flintstone99]

Hi all,

I am still setting up my HTPC and came along this nice plgin. Thanks to all developers.

However, here is my question/problem:

I record a lot from "my TV" (DVB-S via Astra) and use the DVB-EPG. Works quite fine

I use the TV series plugin to manage and watch the series and my idea is to do the same with the recorded films with moving pictures.
In gereral this works, but obviously some recordings are not recognised by the importers, or even are not in the respective database (ofdb, imdb...). I do however still have a .xml file with the epg data for every recording.
This file does not contain any database ID's but still there is a short comment on the content. See attached sample.


Is there a way to make moving pictures read this .xml file and use the info in case the databases import did not deliver a result?

regards

It's possible but this will get a bit technical:

You can add the channel names and date mask to the regular expression noise filter (available in advanced settings) and it will probably match.

Looking at the default expression you have to place the line below somewhere between (\b( ... |(?-i).

|ProSieben|ChannelName|OtherChannelName|\d{4}\-\d{2}\-\d{2}|

The other option of reading the record information requires a change in Moving Pictures. You can add this to our issue list and we will review it.

Hi,

tried that with some files and I can see that the importer erases those parts of the filename. But still it does not make use of my epg-.XML file (in the same folder as the film itself).....
Am I missing something, or is this the requirred change to moving pics??

Yes, that would require a change to moving pictures.
