TV episode scripts..

Hi all,

I have been hacking numerous scripts lately to try and get my TV episodes
just right. I have hacked together a script that uses the thetvdb.com but
it is a mess of imdb-bulk-update.pl calling a python script to talk to
thetvdb.com. Has anyone got any good scripts they would like to share?

PS. I use tvrenamer.pl on all dirs and use sync.pl in mythtools to update
video db...

Thanks,

D.

I've been using

imdb-bulk-update in a cron

&

The script below to process anything the bulk updater misses....

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/308346?search_string=Metadata%20autogeneration;#308346

but its not exactly a automatic process........ As the results from tvrage
are hit or miss for tv series it doesn't know about or the episode data in
the file name is not in their format

I'd like to see your scripts though

It seems to be older shows that are the problem. It went bonkers when I
fed it Sapphire & Steel and more oddly, Lexx. I ripped the original
apart and made it work with MythVideo :)

The other thing is quite often you'll just see huge batches of "SxxExx -
<name>" in video manager so it can be fiddly to look after a large
collection.

But yes, your scripts show them to me.

I found http://search.cpan.org/~tigris/WWW-TV-0.08/lib/WWW/TV/Series.pm
yesterday and have made a new script with it which is nice as it grabs top
level folder.jpg too. Also it got all my episodes while tvrage failed on
some. I will post it when I tidy it up. At the moment it assumes a dir
structure of /SeriesName/SeasonNum/EpxTitle

I use tvrenamer.pl to rename all the epsiodes first.

Ok I have a script at http://www.skynet.ie/~shabba/tveps.txt
It is rough as I was just trying to hack an effort together and am not
much of a programmer.

You will need to install WWW::TV::Series and String::Approx.

Feedback welcome.

Thanks,

D.
