MyTVSeries - Plugin that organizes TV Video Files (1 Viewer)

[WeeToddDid]

Re: OGG Files?

this should be taken from the list in "movies"-"movie extensions". that way if someone had some bizarre file format they'd configured their computer to play they could still use it

I have posted the source codes and binaries of version 0.22a of this plugin here.

Done. I found a list of supported video extentions stored in an array list under MediaPortal.Until.Utils.

Hey WeeTodddid - firstly, thanks again for all the work your putting into this plugin!

Here's a couple of issues i've found with the latest version:

- clicking 'test' under regular expressions crashes with an error
- seems to be a problem with detecting Point Pleasant 1x12. The plugin comes up with a window asking me to select the episode, but episode 12 isn't listed, it skips from 11 to 13. I haven't noticed this with any other series... only Point Pleasant
- Six feet under series 1 won't display any episode descriptions. maybe this is because there's html formatting for the descriptions?

Apart from those - everything's working great

am I doing something wrong ?

Hi WeeTodddid - your TV series plugin looks great from the screenshots from this thread !

However, I am having some trouble getting this to work. I downloaded and installed the latest version of Media Portal today and installed the latest version of your plugin (0.21a).

I was able to import the videos just fine via the configuration utility. And I can get to this screen inside Media Portal :

But nothing happens when I click on the actual TV series. This is what appears in the error.log. I cleared out the log file before trying this, so all these error messages are related to the My TV Series plugin :

at MediaPortal.GUI.Library.GUIWindow.OnMessage(GUIMessage message)

From the above there seems to be two issues. One relating to the database table already existing (??) and another regarding a missing method when I actually clicked on one of TV series.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks in advance !

regards,

Chris

Re: am I doing something wrong ?

But nothing happens when I click on the actual TV series. This is what appears in the error.log. I cleared out the log file before trying this, so all these error messages are related to the My TV Series plugin :

I have posted the binaries of version 0.23a of this plugin here.

I do not have this issue. But then again, I have compiled the latest source codes from the CVS. Do you compile the lastest source codes or do you have the latest compiled version from the net?

In any case, I think I have solved your issue. Please download version 0.23a and let me know.

PS: Just copy the MyTVSeries.dll to your plugin folder, unless you want to wipe your database.

WeeTodd,

This is one seriously awesome plugin, this is just what I was looking for.

However unless I am missing something, I find the 0.17 version to be more usable than the 0.22 version, i like the way in 0.17 you get the synopsis screen at the beginning with a show overview and then per episode you get the description and so on.

I can see the information is there in the DB, I take it that it's the GUI part
that's missing from displaying this ?

Great work regardless..

- clicking 'test' under regular expressions crashes with an error

My Fault... I have fixed this in 0.23a

- seems to be a problem with detecting Point Pleasant 1x12. The plugin comes up with a window asking me to select the episode, but episode 12 isn't listed, it skips from 11 to 13. I haven't noticed this with any other series... only Point Pleasant

Tv.com fault... The problem is that they have an 'Aired Date' of 0/0/0. The HTML parser is looking for a valid date. I have fixed this in 0.23a by allowing the year to equal 4 digits or 0.

- Six feet under series 1 won't display any episode descriptions. maybe this is because there's html formatting for the descriptions?

This specific series has a weird entry in the html. I have updated the HTML parser to take it into account.


Is everything ok within MediaPortal? Can you play videos? I am trying to figure out why Senhwei is having a problem. Do you download the latest CVS code?

I am going to have an information screen showing all database info when you press 'Info' on your remote (its called info on my remote anyway). Do you want me to add the description back? If so, respond and i'll do it in a few minutes.

 

[garyday]

WeeTodd,

Please, at the moment i don't have a remote (can't buy MCE where I am) but will get one soon.

The thing that i miss is just that, if you could add it then it would be fantastic!

One more thing, I see the banner download (i.e battlestar-banner.jpg). however i don't see this being used yet (only in the Database Config Screen), is there anyway to:

1/ if a banner exists show it on the main front page and then skip the the normal jpg when browsing seasons and episodes
i.e
on mainscreen where you see list of shows use if available the banner jpg
if not use the normal jpg file.

2/ If there are no thumbs per episode / season simply use the non-bannered jpg that is downloaded when importing the database ..

This would then be to speak canadian "awesome"

You mean use the series banner instead of the series thumbnail on the image beside the description (when you hover over a series in version 0.17a)? or do you mean the images in the list? If it is the latter then, delete the thumbs and you will see what it looks like (not very nice)

Ok... I'm off to bed... I'll finish your request tommorrow.

 

[garyday]

Weetood,

The former, when you hover over a series you see the image on the top left
with the description to the right of it

When youre in the season or episode listings, if you don't have a specific
thumb then do like in 0.17 where on the right where the listing are you show a scaled down version of the image (just to have something) again with the full size pic top left and the info to the right.

I guess this kinda makes it look just like 0.17 ...

P.S Wierd error - i get a crash when trying to add Friends 2x11.avi (in 0.17 and 0.22), no ideas why.. Air date seems ok, no funky HTML in the episode guide - althoug there are a set of speechmarks - " " so maybe that does it ?

Top stuff WeeTodd
