ShowTimes Plugin Suite V2 (2009/12/30) (1 Viewer)

hi i have just had a try and get the same results as before.. i have just had a play around with what i enter into the box though, and it seems that the search it now uses for UK is not country specific, so as you can see in the attachments 'lancaster1' and 'lancaster2' the results are the same, one is when searching 'lancaster' in the uk, and the next is searching 'lancaster' in the USA..

but then i tried searching 'lancaster uk' in the UK, and i get the correct list of cinemas ('lancaster3' attachment) so just warning people with popular city names, you might need to put 'uk' on the end to get the uk version of the city rather than the US version..

Did you download it again? I've tried "lancaster" in my configuration and it works right (like in your "lancaster uk" example)...

Anyway, i've changed MTA in order to automatically add the country code.
So, please, download it again and try again...

Thank you!!

thanks so much for croatian grabber! awesome work!

however there are some things that can be improved (mtsa.log included)

* IMDB user ratings (ImdbUserReview) are parsed only if <DowloadExtraDetailsTMDB> is TRUE. why is that when imdb rating is imdb thing? besides, they dont get downloaded for all movies..

* DownloadExtraDetailsTMDB is True, downloadFanArt is False, fanart still gets downloaded

* ReleaseDate tag is filled only if DownloadExtraDetailsTMDB is True.. You can get this data from kamo.hr site directly too: look under movie plot summary "Datum premijere:"

* some movies get "N/A" in image tag in moviedata.xml.. that way there is no poster in mp (not even the default one, like for the movies with no posters). check "lili marleen" in mtsa.log

* when there are more than one directors, they are concated together with no space after "," so we get "director1,director2" instead of "director1, director2".. it's a small fix but i would also check other data besides directors that gets concated for the same error (i've noticed this in "urmel voll in fahrt" movie in my mtsa.log

* I didnt check this but i hope that download extra imdb and tmdb details work like this: first download all you can get from local site, then fill empty tags from imdb, then from tmdb.

* one more visual fix. capitalize first letter of genre from kamo.hr even better fix for this would be to overwrite genre data from kamo.hr.. if download extra imdb data is true data from imdb would be filled and translated (i included translation strings too..)

* it would be cool if we could have possibility for poster in list view too.. like in moving pictures (poster of selected list item)..


thanks once again!

best regarts,

thanks so much for croatian grabber! awesome work!

however there are some things that can be improved (mtsa.log included)

Of course...

* IMDB user ratings (ImdbUserReview) are parsed only if <DowloadExtraDetailsTMDB> is TRUE. why is that when imdb rating is imdb thing? besides, they dont get downloaded for all movies..

* DownloadExtraDetailsTMDB is True, downloadFanArt is False, fanart still gets downloaded

Interesting, i'll fix it.

* ReleaseDate tag is filled only if DownloadExtraDetailsTMDB is True.. You can get this data from kamo.hr site directly too: look under movie plot summary "Datum premijere:"

Ok, i'll do that

* some movies get "N/A" in image tag in moviedata.xml.. that way there is no poster in mp (not even the default one, like for the movies with no posters). check "lili marleen" in mtsa.log

Hmm strange, i'll look into this problem.

* when there are more than one directors, they are concated together with no space after "," so we get "director1,director2" instead of "director1, director2".. it's a small fix but i would also check other data besides directors that gets concated for the same error (i've noticed this in "urmel voll in fahrt" movie in my mtsa.log

* I didnt check this but i hope that download extra imdb and tmdb details work like this: first download all you can get from local site, then fill empty tags from imdb, then from tmdb.

Yes, but if a IMDB value is available i'll get information from IMDB (more easy to mantain)

* one more visual fix. capitalize first letter of genre from kamo.hr even better fix for this would be to overwrite genre data from kamo.hr.. if download extra imdb data is true data from imdb would be filled and translated (i included translation strings too..)

OK for capitalization, but no translation because data from IMDB could change and i don't want to mantain a translation table. Sorry...

Maybe this feature is only skin releated, i'll investigate it...

you could use the translations i gave you and later on, if there is no translation found, use original from imdb..easy.. but i would be happy with just overriding kamo.hr data with imdb data (english) if download imdb details is selected..

* when there are more than one directors, they are concated together with no space after "," so we get "director1,director2" instead of "director1, director2".. it's a small fix but i would also check other data besides directors that gets concated for the same error (i've noticed this in "urmel voll in fahrt" movie in my mtsa.log

ok, example.. check movie "urmel voll in fahrt" in moviedata.xml: <Director>Reinhard Klooss,Holger Tappe</Director>.. i expected <Director>Reinhard Klooss, Holger Tappe</Director> (with space)

oh, and here is my locations.xml and config.xml so you can test everything..

Hi guys...

I'm having troubles with this one aswell.

I'm using Blue3 Wide skin
On launcing it gives me an error on not bieng able to find "Config.XML" I downloaded the XML file a few pages back and placed that in the location the plug is looking for. (C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\config.xml)

Now i get a new error, it also can't find 2 other xml files:
R:\Videos\MTSA\Locations.xml
R:\Videos\MTSA\Moviedata.xml

The funny thing tho, i don't have a "R" drive, i created a "Showtime" folder at "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Showtime" to store the data.
I have put the MTSA.exe file in "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\"

On the manual update afther installing the plugin, i was getting the message that some locations didnt provide the data right (don't know the exact line anymore)

I'm trying to add theather "Greeneville TN USA"

Hope somebody can help me out here........

ThX in advance..........

this is because this is my configuration, and i use my R: drive to store the movie trailers and posters for storage, and it puts the other config files there too even though the MTSA file is in my mediaportal directory, not a problem for me, but you will need to change the config file for your own directory structure.

i advise you to try the newest version, because it seems to work fine for me now, see if you can configure it through mediaportal config or after the install

Ok ThX for your help...

I reinstalled it, but that didnt do the trick at first, can't find "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\config.xml"

I've made a folder for Showtimes in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Showtimes" and placed the "MTSA.exe" in "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal"

Copying the "config.xml" and "config.xml.bak" from "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Showtimes" to "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal" did the trick.

Have to try to update it still, but looks good so far, movies show with cover and i can play the trailers....

ThX

croatian grabber:

today i was grabbing info for 2 days and have noticed that grabber incorrectly named the days.. for example today 2009-03-03 is named "Srijeda" or "Wednesday", and it should be "Utorak" ("Thursday").. tomorrow (2009-03-04) is named "Cetvrtak" and it should be "Srijeda".. something's wrong with day names i think.. day names are shifted one day forward..

btw.. is there any skin guide? for example i havent found a way to show releasedate? what is #trailer or #st_trailer tag? what about #st_theater?

also, premiere date we talked about from kamo.hr is in long format "dd. cro_month_name year.", i have provided a matrix for you so you can translate it to standard date format you use in the plugin (yyyy-mm-dd)

and one more question about that date format.. is it possible to change it to something else? dd.mm.yyyy for example?

thank you and please see my last post too!

best regards,

Wich is the first day of week in Croatia?

Sorry, there's no release date in the MP plugin. I should add it in the next release if you wish. #trailer tag isn't used anymore.

also, premiere date we talked about from kamo.hr is in long format "dd. cro_month_name year.", i have provided a matrix for you so you can translate it to standard date format you use in the plugin (yyyy-mm-dd)

Ok i'll try to add this translation...

and one more question about that date format.. is it possible to change it to something else? dd.mm.yyyy for example?

Date format is country dependant. Are you using that format in Croatia?

thank you and please see my last post too!

I'm a little busy now... Sorry...

its "Ponedeljak" or "Monday"

Sorry, there's no release date in the MP plugin. I should add it in the next release if you wish. #trailer tag isn't used anymore.

ok, i'll delete #trailer from my skin file... you could add the release date if it's not a big problem

thank you and please see my last post too!
