Using the following parameters for recording filename:

%title%\%title%_%startyear%_%startmonth%_%startday%_%name%

The title and date tags resolve fine, but the filename always has %name% on the end.

I am using XMLTV to download the guide and checked that the episode name is present in the TVGuide.XML file.

Using the same parameters on MP 0.2.1 (standalone) works fine, putting the episode name at the end of the filename. If the episode name is not present in the TVGuide.XML file it puts 'unknown' at the end of the filename. Therefore I think that the %name% tags is not being processed correctly.

Please let me know if any log or xml files would be useful -0 I had a quick look, but could not see any obvious errors.

I'm having the same problem. %title% and the date/time variables seem to work fine. %name%, %episode%, %part%, and %series% don't seem to work for me. At least %episode% and %name% are in the XMLTV guide data.

I downloaded the source and had a quick look. It appears that in TVLibrary\TvService\Scheduler\RecordingDetail.cs in MakeFileName(string), the lines that do the replace on the 4 variables that I mentioned above are commented out. That would explain why those variables don't work.

I have updated to the latest SVN, but this still does not work - is it simply a case of uncommenting the code, or is there more to it than that?

 

[skiingwiz]

Unfortunately, no. I looked further into it and this information is not yet being stored in the database. So what has to happen is this:

1. Update the database schema to incude the approriate information
2. Update the EPG providers (XmlTv, Zap2It) to put this information into the database
3. Uncomment those lines.

The DB schema is updated - I'll see if we can add support for those tags.

 

[skiingwiz]

That is execellent. Thank you.

The DB schema is updated - I'll see if we can add support for those tags.

Did this ever get added to the schema? I'm using RC3 and the schema doesn't appear to have "episode name" in it. Certainly the filenames still get %name% in them. I haven't seen anything about this in the change logs up to the latest (1.0.1) version.
