v3.x isnt working for me, using mono. it crashes right after selecting a scraper folder.

The program crashes for me when trying to run just the selected function.
Noticed it happening when just playing around with the program, so nothing is added. Empty scraper, just started the program.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start program, add a function
2. Hit tester tab, select added function
3. Hit "Run selected function"

Error code (in swedish, do you need it translated?):

The first line of this error:

Quote:System.NullReferenceException: Objektreferensen har inte angetts till en instans av ett objekt.

tells me, in english, "The object reference has not been assigned an instance of an object"

There was another crash when opening another scraper that I thought I'd look at for reference, specifically The imdb scraper from svn.
Then I got this error, just by opening it:

The first line of this error:

Quote:System.FormatException: Indatasträngen hade ett felaktigt format.

tells me, in english, "The input string had the wrong format." - but the input file was named imdb.xml and was a plain text file. Creating my own scraper, saving it as something.xml and then opening something.xml works fine. So perhaps opening something that wasn't made in the program doesn't work?

Tell me if you need any other info, system specs etc.

Great program otherwise, tried creating a scraper and it made the process alot easier!

Not running just selected function isn't working through my own fault, when i changed the tree structure, i was focused on getting the overall scraper testing to work, and forgot to look over the individual function operations... should be an easy fix. Til then you can always step through using Run selected RegExp, thanks for the heads up on that error, since i never use that particular option it escaped me.

I'm having trouble reproducing this error, but the problem may be that all the includes needed for the scraper do not exist in the scraper folder, if using a svn scraper, also make sure that all the includes from svn are also available in wherever you designate the scraper folder (my suggestion is to keep a separate folder updated with a mirror of the svn, to use when opening scrapers from svn, that's how i do it when testing the editor against svn, i have a completely separate SVN folder that keeps updated with svn on a 6 hour basis, Maybe i should put an option for it to copy SVN includes (to the app folder) locally, and user can toggle use of svn includes at their liesure.

I haven't tested against mono in a while, i'll check that out soon, and see that the problem is, it could be as simple as me not accounting for a directory path difference somewhere...

btw, as far as linux goes, i plan to be creating a newer version of scraperxml that will be pure c++, and likewise a new version of scraperxml editor, that will be completely gtk+ based, with no need for mono, however since i'm only learning c++ (and its so much different from c# fundamentally) that may be months in finishing, hopefully since the basic application of code will be same, its simply a matter of either creating, or finding the options i need to do the things in c++

Features:

* Added SearchStringEncoding for CreateSearchUrl function
* Added CachePersistence capabilities
* Update for conformance with XBMC xml conventions
* Theoretically fixed crash on run selected function
* Miscellaneous bug fixes

Yeah, I haven't tested that, but as it doesn't crash when I use my own scraper, with the thumbnail in the same folder, that's probably it.

if my regexp match 2 results like genre. how can i use 2 different row together?

i wanto use "dram" and " aksiyon" on capture 2 together...

Just click repeat function and it's capture all results.

I'm making new scraper in Korean.
Ugly thing is that the page is written in euc-kr encoding, not utf-8.
So, I added SearchStringEncoding="euc-kr" to each CreateAlbumSearchUrl and CreateArtistSearchUrl function.

When I run the scraper with pressing 'Run Scraper' button, it seems like encoding query string still in utf-8, not in euc-kr.
I wanna know such encoding conversion is supported in your editor.

sorry, that was my fault, a omitted statement in the function.

In one word (and several question marks)

What??

Hi Nicezia,

are you still maintaining your vital applications?
In other words: do you accept bug reports and will you adopt the editor for the upcoming addon structure?

fyi i'm not holding back on the info nicezia, just want to avoid you annoy you until stuff is set in stone

I don't want to annoy him, just expressed my general interest :p
And I've discovered a few bugs which are not related to the changes at all.

heh, sure, i didn't mean to imply you were annoying him. but if he had gotten instructions from me all the time (as you know yourself we're done quite some changes as shit is developed), then he would probably have been annoyed by now

its fine spiff. I'm trying to work out some localization and encoding issues, any changes you've made in the scraper process will be pretty quick implementation i believe.

Oh one thing though did fanart get sanitized sanified.. or whatever?
