TV Server Plugin: TvWishList (1 Viewer)

[huha]

Episode will use the buit in MP episode management and use the EPG name for the folder name.
Alternatively you can select Name. This will store all found movies from this tvwish and store them in a folder with the name of the tvwish.
So if you want to preserve a specific name for your folder you can use this name for the tvwish name and then select name

Hello again
I have a few comments on the latest version.

1) The code for the updated epg data isn't quite right. The episode name is updated in the schedule (eg 'Family Guy' with no episode name, num or description became 'Family Guy (4.28 Stewies B Goode)' with a full description. However I already have this episode. When I delete it from the schedule and then re-run the wishes, it does not try to record it. Is it checking to see if shows are still needed after epg data is changed?

2) For the programs that have blank episode name, num etc in the epg they are appearing in the email every day. I don't know if this is what you intended, as there is no change until epg data appears for one of those shows.

3) If I run the wishes through tv config and leave it open until it has finished, everything is good. However if I close tv config before it finishes, or leave it to run on a schedule, the next time i go to the plugin in tv config i get a message saying 'waiting for old jobs to finish' like this:

I then need to restart the tv server to clear the job. I think it may also stops the scheduled job running the next day, because i did not receive an email this morning. I am not certain of this though..
Do you need logs for this one?

foxbenw,
I guess I got an idea about 2) and 3) which will be fixed in the next version.

You can get rid of 3) by disabling the setting DeleteTimeChanges

On 1) I need more info.
So you are starting with an original EPG program:
title=Family Guy
description=""
episode name=""
episode number=""

After some time the EPG program is updated to
title=Family Guy
description="some text"
episode name="Stewies B Goode"
episode number="28"
episode part="4"

You have already recorded this episode? And TvwishList is scheduling and recording again?

TvWishList will should delete the schedule if there exists a Tvwish and will run this tvwish again.

Thanks. 'delete time changes' was checked. This sounds similar to the new functionality for epg changes anyway?

On 1)
You are correct. That is what it is doing. The wish has skip = true and criteria = name. Anything else i can do?

Given the similarity between delete time changes and this, i will check tomorrow to make sure that the same happens. There is a family guy entry that updates in the epg almost every day.

foxbenw,
just confirming so your recording does have the episode data included like your updated EPG - correct?
existing recording title=Family Guy
existing recording description="some text"
existing recording episode name="Stewies B Goode"
existing recording episode number="28"
existing recording episode part="4"

This could be related also to 2), but i want to construct exactly the same debug case

 

[foxbenw]

Sorry, I need to wait until the morning now. But there are too many examples of this for it to be isolated to that one episode.

 

[foxbenw]

Hi
A different example, because I have deleted that first one. But everything else is the same.

existing recording title="Family Guy"
existing recording description="some text"
existing recording episode name="Baby, You Knock Me Out"
existing recording episode number="9"
existing recording episode part="5"
and the epg data in 'program' matches exactly, including the description.

 

[huha]

foxbenw,
please try the attached test version. It should fix all three items. Thanks again for your detailed test descriptions

 

[foxbenw]

I think it is all working.
I will let you know if I notice anything over the next few days.
Thanks
Ben

Hi
I am using name + number for a wish.

There are two programs in the epg.
oldName = newName, oldNumber = newNumber
oldDesc != newDesc.
(sorry, can't remember your names but i think you'll get what i mean)

But also,
oldPreferredGroup = FALSE
newPreferredGroup = TRUE

Both are being scheduled. This is the only time this has happened since the new code. I don't know whether it is because of the description, or the preferred group, or only if both are not the same.

I would guess that this will be quite rare so it is not a big deal. I will just delete it, but thought i would let you know.

Ben
