Python version 2.6 required, which was not found in the registry.
I have UAC Disabled and I also did try right click run as admin anyhow.
Thanks for your time |
The version @ http://www.python.org/ is 2.7.1. The installed burps when it does not find 2.6. Should I roll back to 2.6? I have not looked around the python site to see if I can install an older version |

Are you talking about the Windows installer for pyTivo? I haven't updated it since before Python 2.7. The installer looks for a specific registry entry and an additional check needs to be added for 2.7 for it to work.
If you really want Python 2.7, then install Python 2.6 first and then install pyTivo. Then once pyTivo is done, you can install Python 2.7 to the SAME directory as Python 2.6. That will make things work with Python 2.7. But you'll also need to upgrade to wmcbrine's latest code. And if you care about the Photo plugin, then you'll need to install PIL for Python 2.7 |

| pyTivoMetaThis.py is just a script. It doesn't have an installer. Are you trying to install one of it's dependencies? |

it is the imdbpy installer I was having trouble with cause I had 2.7 installed and it wanted 2.6. turns out my WHS DID have 2.6 so I installed it there
the trouble was the dependendencies that the tivometathis needed
now - I need to figure out the correct directory structure to get this to create the metadata correctly |

I've made a couple (very) hack attempts to fix specific issues I have had, and i was wondering if a better python guru had the same issues.
For the tv show 'Tosh.0', the title parsing removed the '.' and it attempts to search Tosh 0 (which then fails.). I hacked out a simple if name ='Tosh 0' then rename it.
The 2nd is that out seriesId comes from thetvdb. Which in turn gets it from zap2it. In -most- cases, the original series id on zap2it is already in SHxxxx form, but in recent times i have seen the format of EPxxxxx. Through research, it seems that EP is perfectly valid and designated episode content on the site, but this snaps the tivo meta grouping on series id, expecting a SH.
I wrote a replace that switches EP0 (with one or more zeros) to 'SH' .
Anybody else running into this ? |

Here is my mod'd version that you can try using. |
Could you point me somewhere that has basic instructions for setting this up and using it? I actually spent about a half hour searching but never could find anything showing what other parts are needed and syntax.
Thanks |

Sorry, haven't visited the forums in a while. What are you trying to set up that you would like instructions for? This python script? I am running it in Windows and just need to double-click the .py file. I think I am not understanding your question though. |

| Is the python script still supported? I downloaded the version I could find (original link fails) and it fails more often than it works, but it still works sometimes. Any updates? |

I'm having the same problem. I know very little python, so I'm the wrong guy to look at this, but maybe when I have 5 min, I'll peek through the source. |

| This program used to work for me, then I upgraded to Lion OSX, and now it doesn't work. Is anyone else using this on Lion and it does work for them? Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? |

I am using it on Lion and it works, although recently there has been a message that seems to be generated by thetvdb.com that say "FutureWarning: The behavior of this method will change in future versions. Use specific 'len(elem)' or 'elem is not None' test instead." (I know nothing about programming, although it seems like it might be a simple change).
I didn't do anything special to make it work on Lion, although for other reasons after upgrading I reinstalled macports and at the same time manually installed imdbPY. |

Unfortunately still doesn't work for me. Also recently since my last post asking for help, I had to wipe out my harddrive (for unrelated reasons) on my Mac and install everything clean. Still this doesn't work. I click the script in the folder with the shows I want it to generate info for. Terminal opens, says the Process is Complete, but doesn't generate anything.
Is there anything else I must do. Any other programs I must install and download, or settings I must change. I have also tried and installed MacPorts, imdbPY, XCode4, and Python 2.7.2 to see if it would help. |

With the recent mass update to theTVDB, this became more of a widespread issue. After some investigation, dflannery and I determined what is probably the best solution. Accordingly, I have written code to implement that solution:
| Code: |
if ( tvTag == 'seriesId' ):
texttmp = str(text).translate(None,' ') # remove all blanks
if ( texttmp.startswith('EP') ):
texttmp = texttmp.lstrip('EP') # strip off leading 'EP' if there is one
if ( texttmp.startswith('SH') ) :
texttmp = texttmp.lstrip('SH') # same for SH
if ( texttmp.isdigit() ): # if remaining is numeric
texttmp = texttmp.lstrip('0') # strip leading zeros
if (int(texttmp) < 1000000 ): # 6 digit format
texttmp = texttmp.zfill(6)
else:
texttmp = texttmp.zfill(8)
text = "SH" + texttmp # add leading 'SH' to numeric ID |
Note that in Python, leading blanks are significant so the code should be inserted exactly as it is formatted. I inserted it after:
| Code: |
if ( ( tvTag == 'originalAirDate' ) or ( tvTag == 'time' )):
text = datetime(*strptime(text, "%Y-%m-%d")[0:6]).strftime("%Y-%m-%dT23:%M:%SZ") |
but you are free to put it wherever you like as long as you don't tell me where to put it. |

I have heard from the current project admin and have sent him the changes. Hopefully, they will be incorporated into the official release.
On a slightly different issue, I am trying to get the zap2it program/episode Id, In order to do this, I must access the data from a specific season. Unfortunately, no matter what url I use, I can only get the current or final season data. Even if I put the url in a browser, I get the same page. If I refresh it, I get the correct page, but there doesn't seem to be any way to do that within a Python program.
Example:
| Code: |
url = "http://tvlistings.zap2it.com/tv/perry-mason/episode-guide/EP00003343/1"
rawHTMLfile = urllib.urlopen(url)
rawHTML = rawHTMLfile.read() |
rawHTML should have the data for the episode guide for season 1 of "Perry Mason". Instead, it has the data for season 9, which was the final season.
This may be a feature of zap2it to prevent someone from doing exactly what I am trying to do but does anyone have any ideas? |
