mythicalLibrarian - a tool to build Movie and TV Show library from MythTV recordings

I will need a debug log of that event. This looks like inconstant data where the show was attempted to be scraped as a show and a movie at the same time. That 2006 movie year should not be there and it does not make since since it is an EPIT. That may have screwed with mythicalLibrarian and somehow it was detected at 2006 and there was a $ in there where it shouldn't have been and the internet went down for a minute. I can't really tell why mythicalLibrarian made it's decisions without a debug log to tell what it's thinking. I'm setting mythTV to record curious george. I'm sure my kid will like that.

Replace line 291 with this so you don't have to reset all of your settings:

Code:

test "$TvDbTime" = "" && TvDbTime="1"

That was part of the offline file handling which had a $ after &&
Uploading new version now.

Okay, I updated that line and I'll set some shows to record. I am having this same problem with every show. I have not been able to get mythicalLibrarian working yet. I had some permissions issues with an NFS mount and the mythtv user but that is all working now

I just did a pastebin of a debug log at

thanks

From what I'm seeing, you do not have permission to move files from /var/lib/mythtv/recordings. try changing your record dir to a better location, like /home/mythtv/recordings.

You do not have permission to write to either of your primary move dirs. add yourself to the mythtv group and make sure mythtv is a member of the group which can access your primary dirs.

I will do some more testing when I get on my computer tonight. This may be something to do with permission errors and needs better handling.

I can try moving my recordings around. I do have write access to all of the move directories, thats what seemed odd to me

MythicalLibrarian tests write and delete access thoroughly. It starts by checking free space ( original file size for movedirs, 5mb for working dir, 1 byte for originaldir), then creates a small arbitrary file with about 10 bytes of data, checks that the file was created, then deletes the file and checks that it was deleted. If any part fails then writable flag is set to 0. Otherwise if sucessful writable is set to 1. I may need to look at how the rest of the program works if original dir is 0.

I've tried running this a few different ways and it seems to work well even with no database access and the errors between the guide and thetvdb. It recognizes the show well.
Here is the very first one: http://pastebin.com/m226812fc
The 'no match found' is because I am in database mode with no database to back it up.

Try this.
download this and put it on your desktop: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mythica...h/download
download this and put it on your desktop: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mythicallibrari/files/mythicalLibrarianBeta/librarian-notify-send/download

to set up mythicalLibrarian:

Code:

sudo apt-get install curl agrep libnotify-bin

sudo mkdir /home/mythtv /home/mythtv/mythicalLibrarian /home/mythtv/Episodes /home/mythtv/Movies /home/mythtv/Videos /home/mythtv/FailSafe

sudo chown -R mythtv:mythtv /home/mythtv /home/mythtv/mythicalLibrarian /home/mythtv/Episodes /home/mythtv/Movies /home/mythtv/Videos /home/mythtv/FailSafe

sudo mv ~/Desktop/mythicalLibrarian.sh /home/mythtv/mythicalLibrarian/mythicalLibrarian.sh

sudo mv ~/Desktop/librarian-notify-send /usr/local/bin/librarian-notify-send

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/librarian-notify-send

sudo chmod +x /home/mythtv/mythicalLibrarian/mythicalLibrarian.sh

Then add your username to mythtv group

Code:

sudo adduser Your-User-Name-Here mythtv

See use of mythicalLibrarian on MythTV Applications for setting up mythtv here:http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=MythicalLibr...plications

I just uploaded a new version which corrects the cat could not find lastupdated.time. This is purely cosmetic. Also, i set the default failsafe dir to a different folder.

I just had a serious branching error. I need a copy of mythicalLibrarian before yesterday. If anyone has one, please get it to my e-mail. I am now in posession of a single copy which is a month old because of stupidity on my part. I edited the one on my media center accidentally and then saved it, uploaded it to sourceforge and tested my instructions in the last post, thereby overwriting every copy I had. So, please, if anyone can get one to me it would be very much appreciated. I hope Tim- still has his and did not overwrite it with a 'new' one. If anyone has a newer copy, pastebin it please.

outleradam · 2010-01-22 16:03

Anyone have a version from january 16 or newer? I'd really hate to have to recode everything.

outleradam · 2010-01-23 07:05

I found a copy of mythicalLibrarian on a XBMCfront-end/MythTVback-end-computer-on-a-stick which I had created earlier. What's missing can be rewritten.

Whew, talking about freaking out. That's what happens when I take on too many projects at a time.

outleradam · 2010-01-25 01:21

Alright, new beta https://sourceforge.net/projects/mythica...h/download

Starting the 1 month clock now.

Substantial changes were made which requires the deletion of all libraries created by mythicalLibrarian. Basically, wipe out the entire ~/mythicalLibrarian/ folder
Keep the following files and folders from your old version (if applicable):

dir.tracking
comskiplog.tracking
doover.sh
showtranslations
output.log
/dailyreport/

Delete:

All database folders
shn.txt
sid.txt
markupstart.txt
markupstop.txt
current.time
working.xml

All other files and folders must be deleted or wait until the next mythicalLibrarian established database update cycle from the UpdateDatabase=84000 parameter

Database changes are:
Zap2it database parsing
formatting changes to *.ename.txt
correction to lastupdated.time
addition of *.actualEname.txt

Other substantial changes:
better fuzzy logic recognition of shows
better fuzzy logic recognition of episode names
rebuilt zap2it id matching
better logging of errors

Yet to come:
Cosmetic and bug fixes

Guys- I need bugs to fix. Please use the heck out of this. Record the most screwed up programs. Get your money's worth out of your TV tuner(s) and keep your XBMC library rotating.

My goal is if a recorded episode or movie does not make it from your MythTV backend to your XBMC Library, then it's because your cable provider is sending incomplete/incorrect information, or you have not signed up for an account and added information to TheTvDb.
