Argus-TV Guide Enhancer

[facted]

I'm having a bug in Guide Enhancer where it doesn't use threedigitseason mapping (even though it is selected as my first option in the config file), and the other methods do not find any matches either. I'm attaching my log below.

Separately, any chance of implementing a four digit season match for shows that have > 9 seasons.

From what I see in your log is, there's not enough information in the guide to match.
Please add the guide information corresponding to the log.

And please add the config file.

[facted]

Where can I find the guide data? Also, the other issue though is that the ThreeDigit match method was not called for these two shows even though other shows did call it. In general for my guide info, no method sucessfully matches a show other than the ThreeDigit method. When threeDigit method isn't called, then it fails. Any ideas on why threeDigit isn't called somtimes?

[MicF]

I thought of a screenshot of the details from one of the episodes not matching.

You didn't say, it's sometimes working.
Looking thru the code it's seems impossible to me, that it should work sometimes and sometimes not.

Send Configfile and log with a working match.

@MicF,
thanks for helping out other users. I don't always have time to follow the forum so I certainly appreciate it when others help others.

@facted,
I'll try to take a look at adding support for 4 digit season ie: season 11 episode 3 (1103). When I added the feature I didn't want to make things worse and back then I figured 3 digit season was low risk.

Hopefully if time permits I'll also add the ability to update recorded shows so we don't duplicate recordings because of episode names.

On another note, I'm probably going to cancel my cable subscription soon and my SD subscription is up for renewal next week which I probably wont' be renewing. I'm not sure what this will mean for this project yet. I know there's XMLTV that's free but I never looked into it so I'm not sure how this integrates with Argus.

EDIT: Last few days THETVDB.com has been very slow and making very painful to test my code. Anyone else had issues with the site?

[sjeffrey]

@facted,
I'm looking at the data for Shark Tank right now and there's no possibility of using 3 digit method. Subtitles are all NULL and EpisodeNumbers seem to be absolute numbers.

What's your data source to populate your guide?

[sjeffrey]

Posted new version. Details in first post.

I will be working on updating previously recorded shows next.

[facted]

@sjeffrey: I'm using mc2xml to get my xmltv data. It's free, very easy to setup, and works very reliably. I can point you in the right direction if you're interested on using that instead of SD.

As for saying that Shark Tank can never use the three digit method, that's not true. There are shark tank episodes that do use the method and find the correct episode, and some episodes that do not. The xmltv source is always the same, so I'm not sure why guide enhancer is not calling the method all the time. I'll install the new version you just posted and let you know how it works.

Evidence of shark tank being found via threedigitmethod:

I'm getting some new errors with the new version (stock, unmodified config file). Seems like there are issues connecting to tvdb that weren't there a few minutes earlier (when I was running the older version of guide enhancer).

Thetvdb.com site seems to have some problems.
Get very slow responses and some timeouts.
