It looks like it can't find anything for SQLite. If this were windows, I would tell you that you are missing the System.Data.SQLite DLL file. But since it's mono, I assume you are missing the .NET sqlite packages for mono. If you look back through this thread, someone successfully ported MG through mono to linux and they found the sqlite package...just look back and you should find what you are looking for.

That would be me Smile. But the version I initially set up didn't have the enabled "Find SeriesID" button. The latest version does have the enabled button, and it's only when you click it that the program crashes. The sqlite message appears to be a warning. Does "Find SeriesID" require SQLite? The rest of program functionality works well enough through mono. I know you mentioned removing it as a requirement, as a possibility. Can the function still be made to work without it?

No what clicking that button does is fire another window that searches a sqlite database to find series ID for shows. The TVDB.com took a lot of the seriesIDs that we had and put them in their database so I personally don't think it's needed, but there was someone who requested it to be kept in future versions...can't remember what the reason was....

Well that someone who requested it .. was *me* Smile The same guy who is reporting it doesn't work under ubuntu.

Why was it requested? Well, because it was actually rather handy. At the time I was loading up some old Transformer's episodes .. and if you don't have a series ID .. it was nice to hit that button.. and find a show and get an ID to use. Most recently.. I was trying to do meta-info for a Penn & Teller show .. it comes up blank, but a "find seriesID" (on Windows) finds it just perfectly.

So basically, its a very useful tool if the main program doesn't locate one automagically .. or if you're trying to load something that isn't a current program and you need to find a "close enough" series name.

Could all of these things be obtained through other means? Of course. I just liked how it was all one package. So I take it .. none of us have any idea how to make this part work in ubuntu.. and I should move on?

Is there a current know bug with the way metadata is displayed on 9.4?
I've got a bunch of movies in a directory. They all have metadata files. They only have 'title', and a few other things (example below). When I browse the directory on my tivo after transfering the files, they are listed by file name, not title. When I'm browsing the pytivo directory they are listed by movie name but when I bring up the details on a movie, the file name is listed at the very top, with the movie name below it.

I have found that I have to have seriesTitle included to get the Movie title to show in both expected places. I think what is supposed to happen is movies only have a Title showing on the TiVo, not an episode title, but that does not seem to work for me. I still have TiVo OS 9.3, btw.

I've updated my pytivo branch to follow normal tivo metadata conventions, for the most part. Follow the link below to the latest "snapshot" if you want to give it a try. Your "bank job" metadata should display as you desire with this version.

BTW, no there is no known bug. Certain changes were made in the past to make things display in the popular format of the day. I've made a similar change of my own liking to display the episode number before the episode title.

Yes, the download link doesn't work. How can I get a copy of this to start trying it out?

Ahh, the Master has returned. Welcome back. My recent metadata changes require an episodeTitle field in order for the episode number to be displayed. You may want to consider adjusting your metadata to write the episode title to the episodeTitle field instead of to the title field.

Also, when you write the episode number could you include the season number as the first digit, followed by a 2 digit episode number. For example, season 1 episode 1 would appear as episodeNumber : 101 and season 2 episode 1 would appear as episodeNumber : 201. This appears to be the convention used by the episode numbers displayed on the Tivo.

Sure I could do that...

I'll try to do it by Friday if I have time. That shouldn't be too hard at all.

Sorry for being gone for a bit...with work and a 5 month old, I rarely get time to code for fun Smile
