    Re: New TV archive plugin for VMC.

    Tried installing on Vista Ultimate, 32bit, disabled AdAware and anti-virus apps.

    When the installer gets to creating databases, it quits with "Error -2147467259: failed to create SQL database: myTV, error detail: unknown error."

    Re: New TV archive plugin for VMC.

    I'm new to a lot of this plugin stuff.

     

    Is this supposed to work on the xbox 360?

    Re: New TV archive plugin for VMC.

    Good catch. It won't "see" a filename such as the ones you've been trying.

    The Regex currently accepts the follwing types;

    • ER S13E04 - Parenthood.avi
    • ER.S13E04.Parenthood.avi
    • ER 13x04 - Parenthood.avi
    • ER.13x04.Parenthood.avi

    or a combination of the above. The key thing you're missing in your naming scheme is what's in bold. As for the filetype, it will accept anything that's perceived as video by Windows (which in most instances includes avi, mkv, wmv, mpeg, xvid etc - although this can depend upon the codec installed). The Regex currently in use is this one;

    (?<series>.+?)(?:\.|\s|S)(?<season>\d{1,2})(?:E|x)(?<episode>\d{1,2})(?:\.|\s|S)(?<episodetitle>.+?)\.(?:.{3}$)

    the following is also in code, but currently not being called;

    (?<series>.+?)(?:\.|\s|S)(?<season>\d{1,2})(?<episode>\d{2})(?:\.|\s|S)(?<episodetitle>.+?)\.(?:.{3}$)

    I'll change these to allow for blanket S13E04 or 13x04 naming. If you have other "interesting" names you could always try putting together a Regex for it (I find Expresso to be quite good). If there are enough different ones to warrant it I'll put Regex's in the user.config as another String[].

    As for the code itself, it handles null images for Show and Season, but I autogenerate images for the episodes on a per episode basis (if not found online) hence there is no null handling there - perhaps there should be though. It looks for the images in the CommonApplicationData\senseIT\myTV\cache\episodes folder, named as (tvepisodes.id).jpg so if you put images in there named like so it should not crash.

    Re: New TV archive plugin for VMC.

    The application doesn't care about Season folders or not. As long as it finds a directory in your chosen path it tries to match this against the online database. Then iterates through each and every file (seen as video) in that folder (and subfolders) and (tries to) add these to the database.

    Musictype: Did it install SQLExpress at all? Does it create an installation logfile which you could perhaps post?

    mayankel: If you left your emailaddress with me last time the mail has been sent out, check your trash folder though as I'm having mailserver problems. If you haven't received it send me another PM with details.

    Re: New TV archive plugin for VMC.

    Ok, had a play around with my Regex and came up with this;

    (?:(?<series>.+?)|)(?:\.|\s|S|)(?:(?<season>\d{1,2})(?:E|x)(?<episode>\d{1,2})|(?<season>\d{1,2})(?<episode>\d{2}))(?:\.|\s|\-|)(?:(?<episodetitle>.+?)|)(?:\.)(?:.{3})

    which seems to allow for pretty much anything.

    Not sure yet if it's too wide to be useful though, so I'll have to run some tests on it. It will allow for variations on the following;

    • ER S13E04 - Parenthood.avi
    • ERS13E04Parenthood.avi
    • S13E04.avi
    • ER 13x04 - Parenthood.avi
    • ER13x4.avi
    • ER1304.avi

    and a few others. It fails on 1304.avi and 13x04.avi thinking the 1 in that case is the Showname.

    If any of you are more knowledgable than me on regular expressions feel free to point out any mistakes :)

    I'll see if I manage to get a (better) working upgrade build online later today.

    Re: New TV archive plugin for VMC.

    bledsoe: Very good suggestion on stripping the word "show" from the title. It now brings back a much easier to handle ONE match for "That '70s Show" or five matches for "The Drew Carey Show".

    Now if I could get it to somehow recognize "CSI NY" as "CSI: NY" rather than returning nothing we'd be getting somewhere.

    Re: New TV archive plugin for VMC.

    My CSI NY was matched to:
    CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
    CSI: Miami
    CSI: NY

    That, I think, is good enough. If you want add the regex to user config I wouldn't mind playing with it though my regex skills are limited at best.

    Re: New TV archive plugin for VMC.

    Uhm... Where? Smile [:)]

    I don't want to publically post examples using the interfaces in question (as they're not supposed to be public and all that), but doing a "GetSeries?seriesname=CSI NY" (or in fact, any combination, CSI+NY, CSINY, CSI-NY, CSI; NY, CSI:NY (missing the space)) brings back nothing.

    Re: New TV archive plugin for VMC.

    I'm getting some issues where the plugin just crashes completely.  However, I get similar problems lately with MyMovies, so I think I'm going to just have to try a reformat sometime soon.

    Re: New TV archive plugin for VMC.

    Reformats are always good. Although I must say, I've been running my livingroom box on Vista since December without a reinstall now. Still going strong :)

    What, specifically, are the errors you're getting (if any)?

    Re: New TV archive plugin for VMC.

    Any chance this would be working on a 64 bit Vista yet?

    Re: New TV archive plugin for VMC.

    anyone figure out how to get it to install SQL? it just gives that failed to create SQL database error even though it hasnt even tried to install sql.

    Re: New TV archive plugin for VMC.

    Not as it stands. I\m on my way to pizzashop now, but I\ll see if I can put together a quick 64b fix after that.

    moontan: Are you running mytv.exe, setup.exe or setup.msi? Have you double checked in control panel / programs that microsoft sql express is not installed? You could always run the SQL installer manually from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=31711d5d-725c-4afa-9d65-e4465cdff1e7&DisplayLang=en - however that's the same file setup.exe will try to install so if that doesn't do it, there may be underlying problems on your machine.

    Re: New TV archive plugin for VMC.

    well i deleted the mytv file i had yesterday and downloaded it again, and instead of asking me where to extract it somewhere, it extracts itself somewhere and automatically runs the setup file, which gives the sql error as mentioned on the top of this page. Yesterday, both setup files just tried to install mytv without installing SQL apart from one time.
