Oversight Jukebox r571-stable

[Slevin]

The new dvd-cover view is really a feature a lot of people have been waiting for i think.
The thing i like most about oversight and your other projets,
is how easy you can edit the code for making your own tweaks..

And yet still you keep making is even easyer for the people to configure the already very cool app..

Keep going the way you are going now lordy,
it is a road a lot of people will folow you into.

Thanks Slevin *sniff*

New version is great.
I am using a 50" HD tv at 720p.
Default settings of poster mode 720p is working just fine with my TV.

---

I have one comment about posters that are being created; they are not very accurate.
For example for the title "Star.Wars.Episode.IV.A.New.Hope.1977" , it brought a cover of "star wars trilogy"
I was using Movie Jukebox before and it brought the correct covers for all the movies.
Can we change the source for posters ?

720 will look OK with 3 rows, 8 in a row and 0 (Autosize)
1080+ is really a mess so I haven't been able to set something descent up really even when changing cover size which ends up with spaces in between. There is probably something in the tab syntax that does it. Talk to Excal about the maxsize of 1080 HD. There are some odd numbers that'll work.

Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the update dinauktion. I'll use your settings for 720 defaults.

How about the other text, poster size and certificate size settings - when you get a chance

Did you manage to look at that lookup/rename issue I PM'd you about the other day?

(Just wondering before I update).

Hi mrmrmrmr

>> For example for the title "Star.Wars.Episode.IV.A.New.Hope.1977" , it brought a cover of "star wars trilogy"

Can you PM me your exact file name. I'll do a scan here to see where it tripped up.

>> I have one comment about posters that are being created; they are not very accurate.

I know it can get them badly wrong if it makes a mistake, and these are the ones that get peoples attention. But what about the percentage that are correct, are you finding this low. If so there is a really bad problem and could you email me your full log files (in /share/Apps/oversight/logs).
It currently is best at searching obscure scene names or very simple names where I see a hit rate much better than 95% I guess. It can have trouble with remakes and 'trilogies' etc. It may struggle with certain names set by the user, esp if the film has commonly used aliases.

>> Can we change the source for posters ?

Poster source is not changeable yet. I was planning on using thetvdb and themoviedb.org eventually. Unless people have other preferences. (English language for now, as all the searching/scraping is based on that)

You can get the correct poster for the film by editing the nfo - but that goes against the no-faffing about ideal - so I better look into it!

@sproglet,

The one where you replied
>>Deleted the beta and put back my backup of the full release.
>> File is put in correct folder and correctly named on screen.

Or another one

[Sproglet]

Yeah the one before I resorted to going back to the full release to fix the name issue.
The one from Monday

[lordy]

@mrmrmrmr

Probably a little confusion due to imdb's "posters" Both the Star Wars and the SuperMan Returns were detected correctly, just the IMDB default poster is not always very good. Once I change some other things in my list (navigation and TVID usage), I will revisit the poster view and use better images from thetvdb or themoviedb.org. But for now it uses the default imdb "poster"

Ah for some reason I read your PM thinking you had fixed in by re-installing the beta!
The problem is epguides simpsons link is http://us.imdb.com/title/tt96697
But the url is really http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0096697

And oversight was being too strict about the IMDB ID format.
tt followed by 6 or more numbers.
I'll change it to "/tt" followed by any numbers.
Since I just realised http://us.imdb.com/title/tt1 is valid.

I'll put this in the next beta. hopefully tonight.

[edit]
I chickened out and made it tt with 5 numbers. this should give anything made after http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0010000/
I wanted to avoid false matches against other html content that might have "class=tt3" etc.

Thanks for checking.
I agree that IMDB poster is not always good and looking forward to a release with better poster source

@Sproglet - Simpsons should be fixed in 20090507-1BETA. Can you check?

@All - Weekend break - will be back Monday for about 1 day!
If you have any scan issues email me the full name of the file

Any other weird problems you will find logs in /share/Apps/oversight/logs Send the ones with timestamp related to problem (or look inside!)

Cheers,

ERROR Segmentation fault when trying to update

[Slevin]

Hmm..
i have been trying to tweak oversights dvd-cover view to show the name of the selected show as Text @ the bottom.
But since my Javascript skills are pretty limited and above that you have the PCH working with all the functions,
i give up and request it over here..

So the what i would like Oversights dvd view to have is;
when you have a picture selected, there is a text in the bottom..
this is handy for TV shows with multiple seasons, wich are still shown as a picture for every season.
and it gives you extra feedback about what you are going to select.

The code changes i made are based on code snippets from YAMJ skins,
it works on on my computer screen..
but the moment i test it on the tv i start yelling because it doesnt do what i want..

Code:

# Before </head>  around line 490 of oversight.cgi
print "<script type=\"text/javascript\">";
print "function changetitle(title)";
print "{document.getElementById(\"MovieTitle\").firstChild.nodeValue=title;}";
print " </script>";

# This is what i need to place inside the img-tag in the localImageLink-function around line 817 of oversight.cgi
onmouseout=\"changetitle('"'"''"'"');\" onmouseover=\"changetitle('"'"'"alt"'"'"');\"

# the '"'"' has to do with awk not showing the ', because of the line
#gsub(/'"'"'/,"\\\'",text);
# for html parsing

# before the footer around line 1256 of oversight.cgi
  print "<h1 id=\"MovieTitle\" style=\"height: 50;\"> </h1>";

edit some < and > not showing correctly,
you'll understand

i don't know if you are anything with the code since it doesn't work on the nmt's browser..
hopefully you can help me

[constantinos_rho]

can you make the font for PLOT into a movie customizable or at least bigger???

Looking good.

Moved the affected folder out to a temp folder and re-catalogued/named

Folder looks ok, it has a "039" instead of a ' but that's not a big deal

I'll try breaking it again and see what arises

Just checked the generated log and at the end it shows:

Code:

[DEBUG]  19 : processed in 14s | processed 1 items in 14s av time per item 14s
[DEBUG]  19 : remove_absent_files_from_new_db size=486
[INFO]   19 : Checking batch
sh: syntax error: "(" unexpected
Segmentation fault

Is this a problem?

Call line was

Code:

catalog.sh RENAME_TV 1

1 being the renamed folder to be regenerated.

---

Ahhh. ok.

The failure is when it trys to rebuild the DB.

I don't want to loose the order stuff has been added so don't want to delete the old .db and .db.idx

Any ideas?

[Sproglet]

Traced it to folder names with a ' in them.

Your new "deleted" detection throws it's toys out of the pram at them

Fixed by going back to V1, renaming the folders and rescanning them with V1. Then moving the new db/db.idx files to new version.
It works perfectly now
