Q: <episode-num system="onscreen"> support?
Added by Icy K about 13 years ago
Hi all,
I'd like to add the episode title to the TVHeadend recordings. As I understand there are 2 types of episode tags: <episode-num system="xmltv_ns"> and <episode-num system="onscreen">.
I'd like to use system="onscreen" but TVHeadend does not seem to support this.
This is the xmltv source:
<title lang="nl">Boston legal</title> <episode-num system="onscreen">Tabloid nation</episode-num> <desc lang="nl">Alan en Jerry verdedigen een man die ervan overtuigd is dat een realityshow schuldig is aan de dood van zijn dochter.</desc> <credits> <actor>William Shatner</actor> <actor>James Spader</actor> <actor>Candice Bergen</actor> </credits> <category lang="nl">Serie</category> </programme>
I ticked the option Include episode in filename , but the episode name doesn't get saved.
In the EPG screen, the episode title is shown, both on the list and on the detailed popup window (see attached screendump TVH_EPG.png).
In the DVR screen however, the episode title is shown on the list but NOT on the detailed popup window (see attached screendump TVH_recording.png), nor is it saved in the file name.
Is there a way I can 'fix' TVHeadend to use the contents of the <episode-num system="onscreen"> tag in the file name?
Thanks,
Dick

Update: when I manually 'fake' a numerical episode, it does get added to the filename:
<programme channel="bbc2" start="20110909230000 +0200" stop="20110909233000 +0200"> <title lang="nl">QI</title> <episode-num system="xmltv_ns">1.0.0/1</episode-num> <desc lang="nl">Stephen Fry plays I-Spy with Sandi Toksvig, Lee Mack, Jimmy Carr and Alan Davies.</desc> </programme>
The result:
Sep 09 22:57:31 dvr: QI.2011-09-09.23-00.S02E01 from adapter: "eth0"
So my conclusion is that TVHeadend doesn't process the <episode-num system="onscreen"> tag.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Before applying this fix, please read the comment from Karl Dietz in the next post!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I fixed it (using git-082e661).
In src/webui/static/app/dvr.js around line 60, change
if(entry.chicon != null && entry.chicon.length > 0) content += '<img class="x-epg-chicon" src="' + entry.chicon + '">'; content += '<div class="x-epg-title">' + entry.title + '</div>'; content += '<div class="x-epg-desc">' + entry.description + '</div>'; content += '<hr>' content += '<div class="x-epg-meta">Status: ' + entry.status + '</div>';
to
if(entry.chicon != null && entry.chicon.length > 0) content += '<img class="x-epg-chicon" src="' + entry.chicon + '">'; content += '<div class="x-epg-title">' + entry.title + '</div>'; /* @@@@@ added entry.episode (= episode name / sub title) */ content += '<div class="x-epg-desc"><b>' + entry.episode + '</b></div>'; content += '<div class="x-epg-desc">' + entry.description + '</div>'; content += '<hr>' content += '<div class="x-epg-meta">Status: ' + entry.status + '</div>';
to show the episode name in the dvr popup window.
In src/dvr/dvr_db.c around line 185, change
if(cfg->dvr_flags & DVR_EPISODE_IN_TITLE) { if(de->de_episode.ee_season && de->de_episode.ee_episode) snprintf(output + strlen(output), outlen - strlen(output), ".S%02dE%02d", de->de_episode.ee_season, de->de_episode.ee_episode); else if(de->de_episode.ee_episode) snprintf(output + strlen(output), outlen - strlen(output), ".E%02d", de->de_episode.ee_episode); }
to
if(cfg->dvr_flags & DVR_EPISODE_IN_TITLE) { if(de->de_episode.ee_season && de->de_episode.ee_episode) snprintf(output + strlen(output), outlen - strlen(output), ".S%02dE%02d", de->de_episode.ee_season, de->de_episode.ee_episode); else if(de->de_episode.ee_episode) snprintf(output + strlen(output), outlen - strlen(output), ".E%02d", de->de_episode.ee_episode); /* @@@@@ added onscreen (= episode name / sub title) */ else if(de->de_episode.ee_onscreen) snprintf(output + strlen(output), outlen - strlen(output), " - %s", de->de_episode.ee_onscreen); }
to put the episode name in the file name, when using the <episode-num system="onscreen"> tag.
Cheers!

Hi Icy,
you are fixing the wrong side of the interface. Your example shows wrong usage of the xmltv schema which will lead into problems with many consuming applications.
<title lang="nl">Boston legal</title> <episode-num system="onscreen">Tabloid nation</episode-num> <desc lang="nl">Alan en Jerry verdedigen een man die ervan overtuigd is dat een realityshow schuldig is aan de dood van zijn dochter.</desc> </programme>
The episode-num system "onscreen" is for the textual rendering of the episode number, e.g. "#FFEE". See http://xmltv.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xmltv/xmltv/xmltv.dtd?view=markup#l354
You episode title goes into the sub-title element. See http://xmltv.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xmltv/xmltv/xmltv.dtd?view=markup#l236
The corrected example is as follows:
<title lang="nl">Boston legal</title> <sub-title lang="nl">Tabloid nation</sub-title> <desc lang="nl">Alan en Jerry verdedigen een man die ervan overtuigd is dat een realityshow schuldig is aan de dood van zijn dochter.</desc> </programme>
Regards,
Karl

Hi Karl,
Thanks for your remark, I didn't realize that from the words "simply copy what the programme makers write in the credits".
In fact, I 'corrupted' the xmltv file on purpose. Originally, the episode title indeed was placed between <sub-title> tags. But as TVHeadend does not seem to support the sub-title tag, and I really wanted the sub-titles, I made this change.
But if sub-titles could be added to TVHeadend, that would definitely be the preferred solution.

Hi Icy,
I saw the other thread later.. yes using the sub-title element is preferred.

Karl
