thanks.
the updated script is in svn

Alan, ran the svn (assume just replace the new uk_digi.lua) and it works really well. Much quicker.

I've made a couple of changes to get the series/episode numbers working in the sub-title. Specifically:
In prog_details.lua last +1 was missing

Code: Select all

else str=string.format("Episode %d of %d",nums[1]+1,nums[2]+1) 
In xmltv_parse.lua the format needed changing from 1.1. to .1/1.

Code: Select all

prog.Episode.Number = "."..tag.Children["series-number"][1].Data-1 .."/"..tag.Children["episode-number"][1].Data-1 .."."
I'm also going to look at (for my needs to make the GB-PVR EPG look less cluttered) tidying up the subtitle format from
Episode 1 of 1 - Subtitle
to
Subtitle (1 of 1)

I suppose it would be nice with this data now to look at using it in GB-PVR for season recording, avoiding duplicates etc. (like I think zapit use to do) but I've not thought about this yet and whether it is a lot of effort. Guess that is a future subject for the GB-PVR forums.

thanks again
Simon

Further to my bit above about the subtitle and series/episode numbers.
I've found that Digiguide uses a different definition making the text incorrect I.E.
Prog_details sets it to be for example Episode 1 of 22
but
Digiguide uses format such as Series 1 Episode 1

This is the section I've changed in prog_details.lua for my own use but I guess it needs something more general that can handle the various grabbers. I just use (1/1) format but some might prefer the more general (S01E01) or (S1 Ep1) etc.
thanks

Code: Select all

						else str=string.format("%d/%d",nums[1]+1,nums[2]+1)
						end
				end
			end
		if str then
			if program.Sub_Title then
				str=" ("..str..")"
				end
			program.Sub_Title=XGUI_Lib.XS.Prefix(str,program.Sub_Title)

the error is in the program details processor. the digiguide grabber is correct.

actually after checking the processor code it does seem to be correct and handles everything correctly

Alan, sorry I don't understand. Are you saying that:
1. prog_details.lua is correct not to add a +1 onto the second episode parameter?
2. The digiguide section in xmltv_parse.lua for episodes is correct to set format "1.1." rather than ".1/1." ? The latter format being when prod_details.lua understands?

thanks again
Simon

the format of the episode numbers is

Code: Select all

series -1 /total number of series . episode -1 / total number of episodes . part -1 / total number of parts
any of the numbers and the slashes are optional. The output from the digiguide grabber is correct and I believe that the processor is parsing correctly. It may not be able to handle the missing slash (its a long time since i wrote that code and i cant remember if i tested missing slashes)

the lastest svn of program details now handles all forms of episode number correctly and also has an option to use the short form (ie S1E1)

Thanks Alan, this svn looks good though for some reason I still cannot get the episode numbers to appear in the sub-title. Take this example programme.

Code: Select all

  <programme start="20080606200000 +0100" stop="20080606210000 +0100" channel="104">
    <title>Deadliest Catch</title>
    <sub-title>The Finish Line</sub-title>
    <desc>It&apos;s the deadliest job in the world: crab fishing off the Alaska coast in some of the most violent waters on earth. But the rewards are great. Deadliest Catch follows the handful of adventurers battling Arctic weather, brutal waves and a ticking clock for a chance at big money in this modern-day gold rush.</desc>
    <category>Documentary</category>
    <episode-num system="xmltv_ns">.1/4.</episode-num>
  </programme>
I assume I've installed the svn build right as I just copied across wheat I saw as new files. Specifically these 4:
init.lua
prog_details.luia
uk_digi.lua
uk_digi_alt_digi.lua

thanks for all this. It is perfect for me if I could just get the numbers in the sub-title. I have this in my hacked version OK but would rather stick to releases.

Working great now, thanks. Only minor thing is that I still need to modify to add the +1 to episode number.
E.G take this programme where the actual episode is Series 8 Episode 13. So the episode number is out by one. It is also a little confusing for Digiguide users as the E8/12 might imply that it is episode 8 (out of 12 which is the way that Radio Times works) rather than series 8. Once I add the +1 to the script (b+1 in prog_details) I'm happy so please don't feel you need to change anything just for me; you have done so much already.
It is great to have better quality date and more channels in GB-PVR now.
Thanks again.

are you still using your modified xmltv parse? the digiguide output should show episode number and series number. radio times will show episode number and number of episodes
