[DVB EPG] Added template based naming of epg title and description (1 Viewer)

[gemx]

Since the last addition, we have several fields which are grabbed from the DVB EPG.
These are:
- title
- description
- star rating
- parental rating
- classification (according to MPAA)
- genre
I added the ability to name the title and description by a template. (see the screenshot below)
The template is evaluated directly before the epg event is written to the db.
So you can e.g. have a title template like "%TITLE% (%PARENTALRATING% years)" which would show up in the guide as "Transformers (16 years)".
I thought that might be useful for some people
This only works for DVB-EPG and only for newly grabbed events.

This is really great!

btw. is there a way to get the line-breaks from the description into the db (and probably also have a placeholder for a line-break for this new feature)?

Scrolling speed of description

The templete idea is nice.
Would it be possible to decrease the scrolling speed of the description ?
I have no change to read text with more than 20 lines. I hope i'm not the only one who has this problem.

The text-scrolling-speed is configurable within the settings-part of mediaportal. Went to the mediaportal-home (mainmenu) and move to Settings -> General.

Should be no problem to add a placeholder for a newline but i remember those characters are filtered out before displaying.
Will have a look at this

Thanks for this addition to the epg grabber.

For me, when I enable the %STARRATING_STR%, programs what have no star rating(not a movie) have the guide entry show up as TITLE <undefined>. For example, %TITLE (%STARRATING_STR%), will show up as TITLE (<undefined>) in the Guide inside MP, and as TITLE () in the web server program guide.

Programs that do have a star rating, will show up with a "+" following the stars, eg. TITLE (***+)

Hi ronsonol,

Thanks for this addition to the epg grabber.

That's ok. Should it display just nothing?

That's ok. The star rating steps are:
*
*+
**
**+
***
***+
****

Just added the %NEWLINE% template item

Hi gemx,

Yes I think, when no star rating is available it should display nothing. As I mentioned, inside the guide is actually says <undefined> beside the TITLE of the show.

As for the star rating indicator, every entry I see that has some stars beside it always has the plus. I only see *+, **+, ***+. I've checked the guide over multiple times to confirm this.
The %STARRATING% seems to be numbers like 2, 4, 6, so Does the %STARRATING_STR% get determined from this value?

Many thanks for your great work.

That's true. Only the starrating as an integer is stored in the db.
The %STARRATING_STR% is derived from this value. So if you only have 2,4,6 in the db the derived string is correct.
That's how it's received from the DVB stream
