imageGrabLite 1.1

[mvallevand]

The issue started last week when E18 was broadcast earlier than shown in the thetvdb xml file. IGL should probably have allowed the rename and then erased the xml file so the following episode will trigger the download. I have to think about the best way to do this though.

Tonight's Daily Show picked out an old episode. I'm pretty sure this was because thetvdb has the guest as "Jack L. Goldsmith" this time, while the subtitle was "Jack Goldsmith", and there were previous appearances by the man where it is listed as "Jack Goldsmith", so it matched exactly.

I'd imagine this isn't something you can control for very well, but I thought I'd let you know about it anyway.

That one is a challenge. I could match on the first run date only, but it hurts the ability to rename shows that have been time-shifted or rebroadcast overnight or the next day.

Attached is an update to imageGrabLite with the following changes

1) If the file is marked is first run in NextPVR but there is no show that week in the cached tvdb xml file, the xml file will be retrieved again.


2) If the file is marked <Airs_DayOfWeek>Daily</Airs_DayOfWeek> in the tvdb xml file the episode list from the tvdb will not be fetched, instead the renamed file will be create the file "Show Name.Date.SubTitle" ie

"The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.2012-04-09.Tim Weiner.ts"

The date will be the Original Air Date if it is in the database or the Recorded Date, if the Original Air Date is unknown. This is a valid format for XBMC and Plex for Date based shows.

Here is a bug fix to --updateepg mode that was causing problems for --rename mode if multiple new shows were selected for future recording.

Note: tonight's Revenge won't rename.

As a followup to my comment, Revenge last week actually did properly rename to S00E02. "Specials" are supposed to be numbered as Season zero. It is something you might want to watch for if you use filename order.

It didn't on my system. I didn't worry about it, but I just checked the logs, and it wasn't found.

I've attached the log for reference.

I've also had some problems recently with The Daily Show and Colbert picking up previous seasons, but I haven't tried out your new version yet, so I'll see how that goes.

Thanks.

I checked my Revenge.xml and it is an epoch time the next day GMT: Thu, 12 Apr 2012 14:56:36 GMT calculated using this online tool http://www.epochconverter.com/ for the <lastupdated> value. I batch things up a little differently.

Here is an minor update that most people probably won't use but I thought I'd upload it just in case. It gives the option to update the NextPVR database for Recorded date to be the First Aired date from TVDB.com

The new command line option for this is --first

The existing logic for --reset will restore the NextPVR dates.

It works well for the recording order but it does mean they don't show as "New"

Martin,

I just installed that last version of imageGrabLite that you posted above, and when I ran it to rename a recording it changed the recorded date to the original air date even though I did not specify "--first" (I'm not interested in that feature, I just installed this version so as to be sure I had the latest). My command line was

"c:\program files\npvr\imageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3 --rename --zap2it

and the resulting log was:

sure enough, that episode of ST:TNG now shows as if it was recorded on 11/7/1993.
