RE: [RELEASE] TV Show Next Aired (Script) Addon - RavenNL - 2012-03-12 22:15
Love the addon but would it be possible to add a fixed time when this addon updates his time schedule?
Reason is when i use this addon (usually in the evening) it's very slow when i open it, because it's collecting all the data from the website, this easily can take up to 15mins. If a fixed time is set then I would be able to open it instantly without the addon having to scan for new data.
When i use the addon during the afternoon or in the mornings it's quiet fast compared to the evenings, hence my question. My htpc is on 24/7 so wouldn't mind if it scans in the morning or when i'm at sleep.
I'm using xbmc rc2 / aeon mq3 skin.

at startup, it updates only if the db is older then 24h.

hmmz ok strange, then I don't think it's working for me.
Like I said everytime i want to check out the next aired overview it needs to update itself. If it updates at midnight every day and I check it out at 20.00 in the evening it shouldn't be updating then because it's still within the 24h of the last update.
Any idea why it isn't updating then at midnight? Unfortunately I'm not at home atm, I will turn on debugging log this evening to see what is going on at midnight.

@ronie
Are you sure the script runs itself automatically (updating data) at midnight? I don't think that's the case since it doesn't run in the background.

Here is a debug log, as I suspected there is no next aired activity at midnight.

Feature request: In settings, it would be nice to have a list of shows in the library that we could toggle to "ignore." I apologize if this has been brought up before. It does seem like an obvious idea and I was hesitant to post it for that reason.
On a different note, I'd really appreciate if someone can share or link to a method of placing a shortcut to TV Show Next Aired beneath the Videos home screen section (of Confluence). By default, as far as I know, it can only be added to the Programs section.

Why would you want to ignore shows? Besides I don't think it's possible because we can't add anything dynamic to the settings.

If your second statement is true then my point is moot, but my thinking with an ignore list was to allow users to remove listings that clutter the calendar view. For instance, I like The Colbert Report and have a few episodes in my library, but it airs 4 new episodes most weeks. Being able to ignore/skip shows like this (especially if someone has a few of these type of weekday shows in their library) would reduce the Next Aired listings to exactly the things we don't want to miss.
Additional benefits may be that updates occur faster (depending on how many shows a person ignores) and tvrage wouldn't have to be scraped for as much data.
