    Re: Proof-of-concept for a tv library app for watching series in order

    Thanks Mikegb, I'd been trying to work out from reading the tvdb how the specials fitted...and setting the season to 00 was the only thing I overlooked. Worked a treat :o)

    Re: Proof-of-concept for a tv library app for watching series in order

    Hi,

    Anyone know how to name the series Hard Knocks (about NFL football)? The name in thetvdb is "Hard Knocks (2001)" and it can only be found by using the parenthesis in the query. If only "Hard Knocks 2001" is queried nothing is found, but if only "Hard Knocks" is used then thetvdb finds also an old series with that name.

    So I need library app to include the parenthesis in the query or some other way around this. I only have one season of the series and it is in "Hard Knocks\Season 4" under Videos.

    Any help is appreciated.

    For the new Battlestar Galactica series, I used "Battlestar Galactica (2003)" for the folder, and then as an example of naming my avi's "Battlestar Galactica (2003) - S00E01 - Miniseries".

    This works fine.

    If I turn on banner view in a folder and have more than twelve objekts in the folder, the application stops responding... It freezes the moment the banners start showing?
    The wiered thing is that this happens on just one of my two MediaCenter computers. It's the one with the pre-TV pack installation that have this problem.
    Any ideas? :-)

    Hey Jack, I'm not sure the level of info you're after but if you want to grab movie fanart from TMDb, you can do so now with a matched IMDb number. http://www.meligrove.com/forums/topic/49/themoviedborg-backdrop-api/ The backdrop API is only one of the many end points we'll have by the time we're done. Obviously, movie data is up next.

    Thanks for the info, Travis. Unfortunately, i would still need to be able to determine the IMDB # and I can't get that w/o movie data. Since I was pulling all movie data from movie-xml.com,  essentially, I can't do much w/o a public API ;-)

    sorry to take things off subject but can anybody please tellme what exe/files etc i need to add to my firewall to allow this to download the metadata? everytime i try this with my firewall on i get nothing but as soon as i turn it off, it all works fine.

    This is quite a pain as i often forget and the whole thing seems to lock up.

    Thanks!

    !? well the app needs to initiate a http requests and download xml files and various picture files from thetvdb.com (and themoviedb.org when it's released). Are you locking down your firewall even more than teh default?

    no its just kaspersky doing its usual thing, which when i say "get nothing" i mean it downloads blank images but they are 1px x 1px and blank and the xml files are too. Is there a file that makes the requests that i can just add to the allowed list?

    I had the same 1x1 download problem...as soon as I took off "Pop Up Blocker" and "Ad Blocker" everything downloaded. My antivirus and firewall are left in their normal state.

    K, that's what I wasn't sure about. We're working on the movie search which is what you're after. I'll let you know once we've completed it.

    like all plug-ins, the http requests are coming from a dll that's installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). Translation: a dll located in c:\windows\assembly.

    cool beans. Wasn't trying to rush you guys --I already knew it was a couple of weeks out  --but just wanted to clarify how movie-xml was used. Thanks again!

    Wait...if you had videolibrary installed before, it shouldn't get rid of your current \ProgramData\videolibrary\videolibrary.dll.config file...(??).

    Anyways, I'll look into correcting/changing/removing this once and for all. What's most likely happening is that you have a path in your recorded tv or movie library watched folders that don't exist anymore. To compound matters, I probably missed a "confirm directory exists" check somehwere.

     

    UPDATE: Yup, I missed a directory verification check. I am working on the fix and will have a new build posted in 2 hours or so. pluckyHd, will you be willing to test and confirm for me?

    Also, do you have a tuner? If you do, what other folders are you watching for recorded tv?
