Release Notes for latest version Morgan111 has been working on a SageMC compatible version of this STVi. You can find more details in this post. The MovieTimes STV Import allows you to view movie listings and showtimes in SageTV. It was developed using SageTV version 4, and currently has been tested with 5.0.2 of SageTV. I think that other versions (starting with 4) would work, but I have not tested those. There are some issues in the operation of the import, but it is useable. The MovieTimes STV Import supports multiple countries (Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, United Kingdom, and United States). I have only personally tested the United States, but the others should work. Let me and key master know if there are problems you encounter in the listings. This import uses the MovieTimes Standalone (MTSA) program written by the author of the Meedio MovieTimes VBNet Importer (key master). IMPORTANT: This import requires the .NET Framework to be installed on your computer. It should work with either version 2.0 or version 1.1 of .NET. For .NET version 2.0, click here. For .NET version 1.1, click here. MovieTimes Installation Guide can be found in the ZIP download below. Download Page NOTES 1. The MTSA program will take care of only keeping active posters and trailers (if selected) on your system. Once a particular movie drops off your listings, the corresponding poster/trailer files will be deleted.

FYI, It does appear to work with neilms dynamic menu, I had to add the MovieTimes Main internal screen then save the definition file, load the config.xml inside the new screen and then restart sage tv before I could get the config screen but that seemed to work.
![]() I followed the rest of the directions however, I can't get it to display any information under "List Movies" or "List Theaters" It just says "no movies were found please run and update to download"..... I did run MTSA and it did download theater times, thumbnails etc. I do have a moviedata xml and xsd file now. The configuration does appear to point to all the correct directories. I do get a list of theaters in the configuration screens but no data shows on the list screens. any ideas? |

When I try to load up the config file it looks for it on the Server even though I'm on the client. Thats fine I guess so I can just use the same folder on the server from all my clients but Its not loading the config section. I pick Load config file and pick the file but it just goes back to the Load config file sreen again.
I'll keep playing with it.....

There's no real feedback that you have loaded the new config file when you select that option. If you select "Load Config" again, the first popup screen should show what the current config filename is. That way, you can verify you have the correct file loaded.

Sorry My Bad.... just finished an over night shift so my eyes are messed up.
After picking load config file.... it says Load Location file. I didn't realize that it had changed. ![]() Its all good now. Did the set up now just waiting for it to download the info and we'll see what happens. Just a quick question, do you know how to make the scheduled task run minimized or in the background so it won't pop up on the screen in case I'm watching TV at that moment?

I have the same problem (and I do not get the "load location" item) but when I select load conf again it says that no valid file was found so apparently it is not loading. This is true on server or client. Help please!!! One potential issue is that many older users will have their sage installation in the "Frey Technologies" folder not in "SageTV". Maybe that is the problem Last edited by ldavis; 05-08-2006 at 09:58 AM. |

Ok got it all to load up but its not seeing my theaters and movies. I check the xml files it creates and its all there but sage doesn't read those files for some reason. Could have to do with the client/server networking paths?

Also, regarding the trailers, I know you are working on it but can you put it in for us to select the player application of our choosing or the default app, even if we can't play it in sage for now? Also, a quick google search shows that there are a number of conversion tools for .mov to just about any file format. Could this be an option to have Dirmon, or something, launch a conversion application to convert the .mov to .mpg so that they could be viewed with in Sage? Then if you have clean up turned on, it would delete both the .mov and .mpg file after they had left the theaters. For now, I have my MTSA set to download the .mov trailers anyway, as I can go and watch them manually. |

Well, I retarted Sage (incl. the service) and the config file loaded properly. During the configuration, though, when the local theaters are being downloaded, I get an error about need a location file. When I try to load a location file, it will not load.

Bug Found
Quote:
The reason my location.xml would not work is that it had an illegal character in it. On of the theaters had the following "& ". Apparenly it did not like the space after the &. I removed the "&" and all is working now. Data is downloading and I will see later if all is well. |

I am having the same problem as well (&). It works great with the default zip code but when I change it and modify it to my settings it does not display anything. Starting to look awesome though! This will be a sweet plugin

Try changing the stand-alone "&" to "&" and see if that doesn't work for you... Last edited by aperry; 05-08-2006 at 05:41 PM. |

Aperry,
I have been able to get past the ampersand issue but I am having the same problem as others - All of my directories are full of data and trailers but this does not show up in Sage. References are correct in the configuration. |
