XMLTV.properties Season Episode ?

[nyplayer]

I am trying to get TVE from Channels into sagetv but I have 1 problem the Season and Episode is not parsing correctly coming out under misc ...


Is there anything I can add to the xmltv.properties to get the Season and Episode correctly ?

Is this resolved then?

Sorry... This is an unknown area for me so I may be able to dig in a bit and help but would need some details on the process you are using.

No but it might be that Sage is looking for the season and episode on different tags then the XML I am using as input to XMLTV. I might have to run the xml through a script and change the season and episode that SageTV expects ... but I am not sure what that is at the moment.

This is just a sample of my XML into XMLTV plugin. If anybody knows what format that SageTV expects Season and Episode Input let me know.

using last example the XML looks correct SageTV parse the following

    <episode-num system="tms">EP022364400015</episode-num>
    <episode-num system="onscreen">S2E1</episode-num>
    <episode-num system="xmltv_ns">1.0.</episode-num>

It uses the xmltv_ns which is zero based so

1 +1=Season 2
0+1=Episode 1

Not sure why it is failing based on the Java code it looks correct. Here is the code that manages it.

     
    /**
     * The regular expression for an XMLTV numbering system number.
     */
    private static final String RE_NS_PATTERN = "\\s*([0-9]+)?\\s*(?:/([0-9]+)?)?\\s*";

    /**
     * The regular expression for the XMLTV numbering system.
     */
    private static final Pattern RE_EPISODE_NUMBER_PATTERN = Pattern
            .compile(RE_NS_PATTERN
                    + "\\."
                    + RE_NS_PATTERN
                    + "\\."
                    + RE_NS_PATTERN);


* Sets the XMLTV numbering system number on the show.
     * 
     * @param aEpisodeNumber the XMLTV numbering system number.
     */
    private final void parseEpisodeNumber(String aEpisodeNumber) {
        if ("xmltv_ns".equals(this.system)) {
            Matcher matcher = RE_EPISODE_NUMBER_PATTERN.matcher(aEpisodeNumber);
            if (matcher.find()) {
                this.show.season = toInt(matcher.group(1), -1) + 1; // 0-based
                this.show.seasons = toInt(matcher.group(2), 0);
                this.show.episode = toInt(matcher.group(3), -1) + 1; // 0-based
                this.show.episodes = toInt(matcher.group(4), 0);
                this.show.part = toInt(matcher.group(5), -1) + 1; // 0-based
                this.show.parts = toInt(matcher.group(6), 0);
                if (this.show.season > 0 || this.show.episode > 0) {
                    // Create a free-form version of the episode number.
                    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
                    if (this.show.season > 0) {
                        sb.append(this.show.season + "-");
                    }
                    if (this.show.episode > 0) {
                        sb.append(this.show.episode);
                    }
                    this.show.freeFormEpisodeNumber = sb.toString();
                }
            } else {
                this.show.freeFormEpisodeNumber = aEpisodeNumber;
            }
        } else if ("dd_progid".equals(this.system)) {
            this.show.showId = aEpisodeNumber.replaceFirst("\\.", "");
        } else {
            this.show.freeFormEpisodeNumber = aEpisodeNumber;
        }
    }

Java playground code to test example from above. You have to escape the string as it has quotes

import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;


class Playground {
        public static void main(String[ ] args) {


        int season;
        int seasons;
        int episode;
        int episodes;
        int part;
        int parts;

            String aEpisodeNumber="<episode-num system=\"xmltv_ns\">1.0.</episode-num>";
        Matcher matcher = RE_EPISODE_NUMBER_PATTERN.matcher(aEpisodeNumber);
        if (matcher.find()) {
            season = toInt(matcher.group(1), -1) + 1; // 0-based
            seasons = toInt(matcher.group(2), 0);
            episode = toInt(matcher.group(3), -1) + 1; // 0-based
            episodes = toInt(matcher.group(4), 0);
            part = toInt(matcher.group(5), -1) + 1; // 0-based
            parts = toInt(matcher.group(6), 0);
   
        System.out.println("season " + season );
        System.out.println("seasons " + seasons );
        System.out.println("episode " + episode );
        System.out.println("episodes " + episodes );
        System.out.println("part " + part);
        }
        }


    private static final int toInt(String aString, int aDefault) {
        return aString == null ? aDefault : Integer.parseInt(aString);
    }

    private static final Pattern LOWERCASE_WORDS_PATTERN = Pattern
        .compile(" ([\\p{Ll}]+)");

   private static final String RE_NS_PATTERN = "\\s*([0-9]+)?\\s*(?:/([0-9]+)?)?\\s*";
