Sorry about that...

I knew what I did...

I fixed both of those problems. Stars should work properly and you should be able to select a movie from the list now.

The links at the beginning of this thread and in my Sig will get you the newest version.

I just downloaded the latest version and tried it out. I can't search movies, it never finds any results.

A version number would be great also, at least a build number maybe.

Thanks,
Mike.

The new version fixed up the error I was getting when selecting a movie from the list (thanks for the quick update!) but, as danimal4326 mentioned, I'm also not seeing the movie year field being inserted into the metadata file.

Thanks I can search movies now. I am still seeing the issue if you double click on a TV show more than once it populates the seasons with duplicate shows. Actually if I look at one TV show and then another the original show I looked at episodes stay in the list on the right. I have to perform a new search to clean the right window.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the quick turn around.

Any chance of adding
1. command line parameters in the future?
2. "And"ing search terms for series id instead of "or" if the show contains "the" it returns a lot of results

Thanks,
Mike.

I've run across an unhandled exception :

1) Do a movie search for "310 to Yuma".
2) Select the "310 to Yuma (2007)" entry.
3) Watch it go boom.

Same thing occurs if you do a movie search for "Stardust", and select the "Stardust (2003)" entry.

The dump :

I've also come across an incorrect behavior. An example :

1. Search for TV show "spooks".
2. Highlight "Spooks" from the left panel, and click "select series".
3. Expand the "Season 6" entry from the right panel. You'll see episodes 1-10 listed.
4. Highlight "Spooks" from the left panel, and click "select series".
5. Expand the "Season 6" entry from the right panel. You'll see two duplicate sets of Season 6's episodes 1-10 listed.
6. Expand the "Season 5" entry from the right pane. You'll see two duplicate sets of Season 5's episodes 1-10 listed.

For each time you select the series from the left panel, you'll get another replication of the episode listings for each season. Eventually, you'll get an unhandled exception as well, when you go off too far into the weeds.

No need to be sorry. This tool is really shaping up into a very handy tool.

Could you also look into the problem I've seen near the end of THIS THREAD ? It appears that some metadata might not be filled in properly, which leads to unhandled exceptions elsewhere in pyTivo.

Thanks!!!

Sorry about that. It's fixed now. Next time post a problem like that in this thread so I'll see it faster. I just missed the x part of the stars.

1.3.0.5
fixed bug(s)
-fixed the missing 'x' in the stars field in metadata file

I would have posted the problem here, but at the time I was unsure if it was a metadata content problem or a pyTivo parsing problem. When I get a moment, I'll verify the three fixes you've put in place for me recently. Thanks again!

I just started working with this a few days ago, and it is an awesome tool. Cudos to you!

Two very minor suggestions:

1. Could it be an option to turn off the verification of the file name for the meta file? I just clicked on the file I want to use, and then I have to say, "yes, that is the file I want to use!" One click less when doing a bunch of shows would make a significant difference in time.

2. When there's only one Show ID found with your search, could it be automatically entered? And if so, could the search be done once without a special click, and if there is only one ID found, it can be entered. You could have some red text outside the box saying "Only one Show ID found" - this will remind the user that they didn't pick that one from a list.

Oh, sorry I've got a third one as well, which is not so minor. Would it be possible to reload the metadata from a text file to check it or edit it?
