Scrapers and XBMC Win32 issue

January 6th, 2009

Hi, first I'd like to point out that the new TV Shows Database is a great feature and I love it :)

I've been playing around with a scraper (allocine.fr) and try to get it to work for TV Shows (currently it's used for Movies). I got bored of running from my PC to my livingroom to see if the changes I made worked, so I gave the XBMC Win32 a try.

I managed to have it running on my 2nd PC (since it doesnt seems to work under vista) but I'm having an issue with the scrapers (using TV.com scraper). It finds the appropriate show but it seems to fail to get the episode list and episode details, so when I go into library mode, I only see the Show's title but once enter it, no episodes are present. I've increased the logging level to 3, but nothing related to that appears in the log file.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I figured I should ask here and see if anyone could point me into the right direction.

if you need more info, I'll be glad to provide it, just let me know what you need.

thanks a lot

first; use the scraper dev env in tools/scrap - much easier.

second, really impossible to tell with so little info.

The_Dogg : think about us when you'll have finish with Allocin� for tvshow !! i want it so much !! ehehe

Also see the wiki: http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index.php?title=Scrap

thanks a lot, I've found that exact page a few minutes ago, this tools will help me, thanks for all your help.

the trials and errors phase has just started, hopefully I'll be able to come up with something :)

Thanks I'll give the scraper dev env a try, didn't even knew it existed :)

thanks for the quick reply, and sorry for the lack of info, trying my best :)

Dont worry Scool, I'm not doing this only for me, but for everyone else that needs it too :)

I have a question, when i retrieve some information, in the resulting xml file, I have some line breaks, I was wondering if this will cause problems to xbmc.

here is an example:

WeedsCom�die
Dans une banlieue respectable de Los Angeles,...

the thing is that in the html file the next character after the string i need is located on another line.

I have no idea how to remove the line break (i'm new to this but i have a little php coding experience). If it doesn't cause any problems with xbmc than good, but if it does, I'll need a way to get rid of that line break.

btw I would say i'm about 25% done on my scraper (for those who are wondering :) )

thanks
