Series & Episode# Possible? (1 Viewer)

[Noelix]

I have my recording names set up in TVE3 so that it's supposed to save the filenames as:

%title% %series%x%episode% %date%

But my filenames only come out as:
Monk %series%x%episode% (2007-03-02).mpg

Does zap2it have this missing information and it's just not being downloaded, or am I forever doomed to manually renaming my episode files?

On that same note - does anyone know if the xmltv method (using Yahoo) grabs the seasonXepisode number?

 

[rtv]

currently we're lacking some database fields to provide that info but that should be added soon..

Cool, thanks for the quick response, rtv. I'll keep checking the svn changelog!

Patrick, did you see this on the svn changelog? MP is ready, the zap2it plugin just needs to be updated to acommodate

MediaPortal tvserver
03/04/2007 [17:37h] rtv added: added parts of sf.net #1651921 [Additional fields in Program table] for further EPG usage - thx youdee! (db upgrade needed)

Hi Noelix,

Sorry, there is nothing I can do, I do not have the access.

Er....what?

Can any devs help resolve this issue?

Can't image what he's talking about?

Maybe:
- access to the computer because of a wife in bad mood?
- access to download the latest sources because internet is down?
- access to zap2it EPG data
???

However - fields are in and the remaining bugs will be fixed soon.

For a first step it would be interesting to know the format and range of your EPG's star rating.
Is it something like "5.3/10" or "3/5" or just "4"?

Developer access to SVN.

Not that this hasn't happened before

The source data from zap2it goes from
1 star, 1.5 stars, 2 stars, 2.5 stars, 3 stars, 3.5 stars, 4 stars

The plugin for MP stand alone converts this to a whole number out of 8.
So 2/8, 3/8, etc.

So if MP needs an int from 0-10 to display 5 stars (including half ones) it would be enough to multiply the fetched value with 1.25 before casting to int.

SVN access is granted to Portal Developers only - do you want to join the team? That includes being "reachable" on IRC for questions and responsible at least for fixing "own" code.

Sorry for "hijacking" the thread, but i was wondering if this is possible without using Zap2It?

I'm currently Using TVE2 and living in Denmark, and would love to have the series named correctly with the episode and/or season numbers.

Right now my recorded files just turn up like: "Band of Brothers - unknownxunknown.dvr-ms"
When set to %title% - %season%x%episode%.<ext> (or something like that, can't remember excactly and the girlfriend is watching tv so can't make sure right now.
