Hallo,
Is this possible to get tv information in german language?
(The thetvdb.com page contains some tv shows in german language too.)
Perhaps i must change some settings in XMBC?
:confused2:

[spiff]

currently only possible by editing the scraper.

append language=de as an option to all the urls in there

[tvdb-scott]

Actually, I think you need to append "language=14". I'm pretty sure the interfaces currently work with the language id and not the language abbreviation. This will change with the new interfaces.

[Zippolighter]

Language=14 is the correct value.

This is the edit tvdb.xml from the Tech3 Build 30.09.2007

[spiff]

sorry about that little error

[Gamester17]

Maybe that would be a new possible feature, having the language for scrapers set from the GUI? ...I believe that IMDb is also available for different languages, isn't it?

Maybe have it so that it doesn't show scrapers for other languages than ones set in settings? ...though I personaly use XBMC GUI in English but I would like to use Swedish scrapers as well if there was any available.

[Zippolighter]

Yes, I think too that is an very good new feature for the XBMC

Few days ago, I make a feature request on sourceforge for that
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph...tid=581841

@Zippolighter

I had the newest build and your tvdb.xml dont work!

[Zippolighter]

The tvdb.xml is for the T3ch Build 30.09.2007. In this version it works. For the newest T3ch Build 07.10.2007 it don´t work.

The tvdb scraper is changed in the latest version and we look for the necessary changes that the scraper will work in german.

Due to this situation it is important that the feature realized in XBMC otherwise you have the same problem if the tvdb.xml change in one of the next builds.

[Zippolighter]

The tvdb.xml for T3ch Build 07.10.2007 was create and provided by asciii from the xbmc.de forum.

http://www.xbmc.de/xbmc/e107_plugins/for...13041.last

In the thread from 09.10.2007 09:29 is an download link available.

[spiff]

patch welcome.

i dont care about other languages

[Zippolighter]

In my last thread, my statement is not clear, sorry.

The changed (using german language) tvdb.xml for the T3ch Build from 07.10.2007 was create and provide from asciii (xbmx.de forum).

The generell in the T3ch Build available tvdb scraper is create from (I hope is correct) spiff.

[spiff]

a hint; svn diff will show you nicely the one change i did.

i find it weird that the old version broke though, as all i did was fix a bug

[therealwakka]

Thank you for the Link Zippolighter!
