Eden - scraper no longer works using yyyy-mm-dd

mgk69 · 2012-03-07 01:08

Hi.

No idea if anything can be done about this but I have noticed that since upgrading to Eden the TV scraper no longer correctly scrapes files I have in my library as [showname] yyyy-mm-dd - description.

So like Conan 2012-03-05 - Zac Efron.mp4

They don't show up in the library or under files any more either other than as a folder for the show with nothing in it.

I found it easier to rename these by date rather than trying to work out the series and episode number for each one - it used to work in Dharma, just not any more.

Thanks,
Mark

"or under files any more either".

That's your problem. Fix that first. A debug log will probably tell you whether the scanner sees them or not.

Working on my new program over in the suplimental tools section (hydraulic) I ran into this issue also what I've been doing is using a regex to seperate teh date from the show name, and then use that to look up season and episode information at tvdb, when a match is found I'm renaming the file to SxxExx format. then the scraper appears to find them just fine.

The relevant section of code I'm using is below. It's in C# but probably could be ported to any other language easily.

Code:

string daily_shows = @"^((?<series_name>.+?)[. _-]+)?((?<season_num>\d\d\d\d).+?)?((?<ep_num>\d\d.\d\d).+?)";

                        regexStandard = new Regex(daily_shows, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

                        Match episode3 = regexStandard.Match(titles[title_index].InnerText);

                        var Showname1 = episode3.Groups["series_name"].Value;

                        var Season1 = episode3.Groups["season_num"].Value;

                        var Episode1 = episode3.Groups["ep_num"].Value;

                        XmlDocument tvdb_search2 = new XmlDocument();

                        string first_aired = Season1 + "-" + Episode1.Replace('.', '-').Replace(' ', '-');     

                        for (int scrape = 0; scrape < tvdb_ids.Count; scrape++)

                        {

                            try

                            {

                                tvdb_search2.Load(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory().ToString() + "\\scrub_info\\" + "temp_scrape" + scrape.ToString());

                                XmlNodeList tvdb_fa = tvdb_search2.GetElementsByTagName("FirstAired");

                                XmlNodeList tvdb_season = tvdb_search2.GetElementsByTagName("SeasonNumber");

                                XmlNodeList tvdb_episode = tvdb_search2.GetElementsByTagName("EpisodeNumber");

                                for (int scrape2 = 0; scrape2 < tvdb_fa.Count; scrape2++)

                                {

                                    if (tvdb_fa[scrape2].InnerText == first_aired)

                                    {

                                        Season = tvdb_season[scrape2].InnerText;

                                        Episode = tvdb_episode[scrape2].InnerText;

                                        Showname = tvdb_titles[scrape].InnerText;

                                        foundmatch = true;

                                    }

                                }

                            }

                            catch

                            {

                                Log_File.WriteLine("tvdb lookup failed");

                            }

This suddenly works again - I don't know if I did anything or it just got over some glitch it had hit? I think I just did a library clean and then a rescan and it picked them up.

Thanks for the comments.
