MyTVSeries - Plugin that organizes TV Video Files (2 Viewers)

[garyday]

idioteque2,

you can simply mod the TVSeries.xml in your skin directory to fix this..
take the skin from 0.25 look at the difference to 0.28 and make the change.

I managed to make .28 look like 0.25 (but keep all the features of .28)
in about 2 mins, and that was the first time i ever looked as how the Skins work in XML.. It's pretty easy..

Also the F9 button should be assigned to a button on your remote already, it is the context menu button and is pretty essential in MediaPortal (at least I use it all the time). It is used in almost every screen (watching live tv, tv guide, music, etc).

Isn't that what already happens. The plugin scan all the files, ignores any file already in the database, and imports the rest.

That is what happens when I import extra video's.

Just tried with 28a, and it went through the whole thing again, meaning it imported all the files again.

Wee, please make this a priority because its unusable if I have to reimport everything all the time.

Thnx

EDIT: correction, I just ran it again and this time it didnt...so, I dunno. But please keep this in mind.

Hey Wee, I've had another two errors since I talked to you, all of them the same. I'm not sure if they crashed MP, because I wasn't home and there were another two other errors in the log. I might just start with a new database.

Firstly, how do you enable the import function within the GUI ? I've updated all the files (except for the database) from your latest binary release. But I don't see the import button as shown in your screenshot.

I love this plugin, but I am in the same boat, I cannot see the buttons shown in the screen shots

It has changed - Press the F9 button.

Hi there, I press the F9 button and am immediately dropped back to windows. No error, just instant shutdown ? Any ideas ?

I have been developing this plugin using the latest CVS version of MP. Maybe there is some compatibility issues.

 

[graemef]

Thanks for that, I am running one of the CVS's, but it is probably a few weeks old, I will try the latest and see how it goes. This is probably my most used plugin now, looking forward to the completed product based on what I have read here.

I will add error checking in the next release.

File Naming

Hi Wee,
First, excellent job! I'm relatively new to MP, but have really been pleased so far and your plugin is a big part of it.

I just wanted to mention something that might be no-brainer...
My Tivo desktop app downloads files using the naming convention -
Series - ''Episode'' (Date, Station, Channel).TiVo [BTW, those are two single quotes. Ugh!]
As in -
Lost - ''One of Them'' (Recorded Feb 15, 2006, WABCDT).TiVo

Since I have a couple hundred files like this, I'd like to avoid renaming if I can. I've used Renamer to make them a little more friendly, but without season and episode numbers, I haven't had real good luck. I'm not sure how the lookup parameters work so this may not be possible. (I've had the Tivo for a couple years and MP for a couple of weeks so I'm still switching over.)

I work in C# so I have the source and will be taking a look, but thought I would bring it to your attention.

Thanks again for a great job!!

Welcome to MediaPortal. You don't even need to look at the source to fix this. All you need to do is the following:
- Open the MediaPortal Configuration application, and enter the configuration of the plugin.
- Modify the File Parsing Regular Expressions.

If you don't know alot about regular expressions, here is a link that might help: http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/regex/

if your not interested in figuring out Regular expressions. I will do them for you. Just do a DIR /S /B > fileslist.txt and send me the text file by email.

PS: If you're a real keener, think about developing a plugin for MediaPortal. If this sounds like something you might be interested in, but don't know where to start..... I can give you a run down of this plugin, with the hopes that you can become a co-author...

PPS: That goes for anyone with knowledge of C#.
