Hi, this program works great. Thanks to the developer.
BTW, I'm using Windows Xp Pro and everything looking good for me.
Edit: For any using Windows and having trouble, heres how I do it and it works for me.
- First I renamed pytivometathis.py to pt.py to make it easier for me. Then when you use the commands you would just type pt.py instead. (optional )
- Then I found that I get the best results if I copy pt.py to the directory of files that I want metadata for. Ex- C:\all.movies\comedy
- Then, in my CMD window, I CD to that folder. Ex- cd c:\all.movies\comedy
- Then if these are tv shows, I simply type in the command window pt.py then hit enter. If these are movies, I type pt.py -m and hit enter.
-Works like a charm every time. The reason I move the program to the directory were the movies are located is because, when I use the -p command and a path the program seems to search for the whole thing. For ex. if I use pt.py -p "c:\all.movies\comedy" -m , the program searches for the whole path name instead of just the file name and I often get weird results. This may only be a problem in Windows though. |

| I have just noticed one thing. Series Id's aren't correct in any metadata file. Are they supposed to be or is this not a feature so far. |

I am on windows...when i try to click this 0.9 version, I get a full screen with no cr/lf seperate lines, everything is a mumble.
How can I download it on windows? | In Internet Explorer, mouse over the "here" link, right click, and select "Save Target As". This brings up a window that allows you to save "pyTivoMetaThis.py", wherever you browse to. It's a common issue, in Windows. I hope I made that clear, and hope it helps. _________________ Love my Tivo, but I love the independent developer's software over the "official" stuff. |

Yeah, seriesID are totally wrong. I just put in the thetvdb.com ID as a place holder at present. Feel free to attach a new ticket in trac. |

hey gmd, a heads up, I don't know if you switched to the new interfaces yet. I had heard they were cutting the old ones off in March sometime...so you might want to look into switching pretty soon.
Also, the new interfaces has a "zap2it_id" which is the seriesID for Tivo...so it's there now. _________________ MetaGenerator

Where is that documented in the thetvdb.com wiki? I only see IMDB id's. |

I don't know if they updated the wiki yet to all the new stuff...
Here is the wiki page about the new interfaces.
Here is a thread that explains how to move to the new interfaces... _________________ MetaGenerator

I'm looking at the movie stuff.
Something like "28.Weeks.Later[2007].R.DvDrip[Eng]-aXXo" would often not find anything at imdb, so I strip out a bunch of stuff and search imdb for "28 weeks later r", which is far more successful. |

Ah, ok, yeah, I'd like that patch. I've just updated to the new thetvdb API and applied your previous patches. |

ok, I've installed it and it works great for movies. I did like suggested above and changed the name of the file to "pt.py". Then I moved it to the directories that I want to have metadata. The problem I'm having is it isn't working for TV. For instance, if I change the directory in the command window to the TV folder for instance "Curb Your Enthusiasm" that has the pt.py file in it and I type "pt.py" this is what I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "F:\TV Media Encoded\Curb Your Enthusiasm\pt.py", line 342, in <module>
main()
File "F:\TV Media Encoded\Curb Your Enthusiasm\pt.py", line 336, in main
episodeInfoXML = getEpisodeInfoXML(MirrorURL, getSeriesId(MirrorURL, series)
, season, episode)
File "F:\TV Media Encoded\Curb Your Enthusiasm\pt.py", line 109, in getSeries
Id
seriesid = series[0].findtext('id')
IndexError: list index out of rangen I type "pt.py",
Any help would be appreciated. |

How are your files named. They must be named in a specific way. For Ex.
curb_your_enthusiasm.s01e01.larry.avi
curb_your_enthusiasm.s01e02.larry.avi
The following is the quote about it on the website:
"The show filenames have to be in the format
SeriesTitle.SnnEnn.Description.avi
If the title of the series is more than one word, they can be separated with dots (.) or underscores (_). The Description part isn't actually used, so it can be anything. If more than one SeriesTitle matches, the program will prompt you to pick the one you want of the choices that matched."

Older versions (< 0.9, I think) would have to have the S and E upper case. That was fixed, can you get the latest version, or tell me what version you have? |
