AW: New Tool: episodescanner - adds series and episodenumbers to your MP or 4TR EPG

Hi, it's me again...



I enabled the remove recordings feature, but it still records existing TV-series episodes.
I guess my paths for the db have wrong syntax with spaces in between.

# remove recordings which are also listed at tvseries
$cleanup_recordings_tvseries = 1; # on / off
$cleanup_recordings_tvseries_db = 'C:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\All users\\Anwendungsdaten\team Mediaportal\\Mediaportal\\Database\\TVSeriesDatabase4.db3';
$cleanup_recordings_tvseries_db_mainpath = 'C:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\All users\\Anwendungsdaten\team Mediaportal\\Mediaportal\\Database\\';
$cleanup_recordings_tvseries_recordings_mainpath = 'E:\\Aufnahmen\\Serien\\';

What would be a correct syntax for tthese paths??

thanks

hi!
actually the scanner is working great, however i got a problem, of which i don't know how to fix:
I am recording "Dexter" which is broadcast two episodes as one, also in the EPG. The Episode titles are seperated with a slash.

Is there a way to scan these episode or do I have to split the up via a video editor?

cheers

Hey disaster123!

It's been a while since I've been around, but I have been having to deal with a family emergency and the growing number of school tests at the same time! Now that I have a second though, I did have 3 questions to ask:

1- I LOVE your substitution implementation! I have come up with a config that seems to work for 95% of all names. However, I was wondering if you could release a version that could search on theTvDb.com with a substitution for the series name as well. The reason I ask is that one of the shows I watch is marked online with a date (2008), because of a show with the exact same name years earlier... Therefore, your program fails to find any info.

2- I was wondering if you think it would be a good idea for users to post their config file substitution parts, to see what is working for most people, and find the most optimal one.

3- Last, I was wondering if you had any more thoughts on the possibility of an output file with only the names of the shows/episodes that it couldn't match as of the last scan (not growing, just replacing). I think that this could be an invaluable tool when it comes to creating substitutions, and would be helpful in the creation of a plugin gui counterpart inside of MediaPortal.

Thanks again for your help!

Sincerely,
James S.

P.S.: HAPPY EASTER!

Hi,

I finally found the right database path for "$cleanup_recordings_tvseries_db_mainpath" and it works -- but only for new recordings.
In case I record a new episode and later on this one is repeated, MP does not record ==> great

But for my existing old series which are all correctly recognized in TV series existing episodes are nevertheless recorded again. A repetition of this new record is then correctly not made.
The old records might have different file names, but even renaming to the current chosen convrention does not help.
No logs, as these do not comment at all on that issue

Any explanations or help??

regards
flintstone

Hi,


on my installation

$cleanup_recordings_tvseries_db_mainpath = 'C:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\All Users\\Anwendungsdaten\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.1\\data\\';

works

oh sorry missed the last two posts. it should be the path to the .db file of the mptvseries db. normally in the database path in MP appdir.

I would also like substitutions to support the series title, for series in thetvdb with dates. Additionally, I'd like an option to replace the SeriesNumber in the database even if it is already populated.

If you upload the source, I'd be happy to help maintain updates.

Hey disaster123,

I saw you posted that you had missed the last two posts, but you never did respond to my post... Could you take a look at it when you get a chance?
