pattersondm:

I'm running Ubuntu as well and get the same error as you. I don't have any CPAN MyConfig.pm file in my home directory. Where exactly did you find that file and what did you do?

Hi all,

I apologise now that i am unable to help more with the installation of perl modules, but i will try and keep the script dependencies to a minimum. If anyone wants to write a good how-to I'll add it to the project page.

Hi All,

Just a heads up that a new revision is around that corner. I'm hoping this will solve most labeling (numbering) issues. If the script is working fine for you, that is great, if there are a few things it can't yet parse, them I will be calling on you to test the script. I'm currently running it through all my videos and fixing up any issues I find, then I'll make it available to everyone else.

BigB.

PS. Thanks for the loyalty.
PPS. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Thanks!

We are looking forward to it, your scanner really comes in handy for those of us who went all digital for dvd's and tv.

Is anyone else getting an error now with the script

- Can't call method "attr_get_i" on an undefined value at ./mythvideo-scanner.pl line 894?

sub getTVRageTitleImage
{
my $doc = shift;
$hits = $doc->look_down("_tag","img","src",qr/http\:\/\/images\.tvrage\.net\/shows.*/);
return $hits->attr_get_i('src');
}

Looks like src is is coming up empty in the tvrage website? maybe they changed how they embedded their images? It only happens for certain entries that don;t have images - but not all.

It was mentioned on page 7. Just change .net to .com

I don't remember what I did but something happened and I deleted my mythvideo-scanner folder. I just re-downloaded it but the script isn't working for TV shows again. I am trying to figure out my solution again and will post in detail when I figure it out (if I do).

This is a great script. thanks for this!

One thing that seems odd though is it resolves symlinks in terms of absolute paths and then uses the absolute path for the DB entry whereas myth does not. This results in unmatched entries in the database.

For example, my TVshows are referenced via:

which is symlinked to:


Myth sees my shows as:


and the script refers to it as:


The Sym links allow me to keep this organized in one spot. Is there a way to get the script to maintain the symlink path name?

EDIT: I should add that when it retrieves the covers it correctly uses the path:

Hi Christ,

I've added a ticket against this issue, in the mean time, around line 127 change:

to this

A bit of a pointless line, but it will stop the dereferencing of links. As a side effect, all paths need to be absolute.

BigB.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Was there a reason for the use of abs_path? or just force of habit?

C

It was to support relative paths, which would previously go into the database as a relative path. Just a point of interest, abs_path is only applied when a path is given on the command line, the alternative is to allow the script to get it from the database and that is unmodified.

SIDE NOTE: Sorry to everyone for the delay in getting the next release out, it is a big change and i've been busy with other activities.

Hi all,

I have finally commited the latest version of the script. Would anyone willing to test it please do so. I am mainly interested in any regression in parsing ability, and any advancements in parsing ability.

Thanks in advance.

Just tried it on TV Shows and I noticed you fixed the abspath issue (thanks!).

It generally worked well but I did have issues on two formats:
S01E01E02 - often used when 2 episodes are put together. I think your answer is fine in terms of description but it renames the title to S01E01.

I also have Lost Season's 1-4 structured as a directory for each season (ie Lost Season 1) and then each show episode in the directory as "01 - Pilot". Unfortunately the scanner thinks these are all episodes of "The Lost World". Not even remotely amusing

In the Lost case, I guess I can rename the files to match. Not sure if this is a case you wish to handle. Is there a way to name my folder to be more obvious for your scanner?

Hi All,

Any issues that you find, please post 5 examples of the offending numbering format, this will give me something to go by. I should be able to post updates fairly quickly.

BigB.

Christ,

the latest rev should fix your problem.
