Headcase_Fargon Wrote:Sorry if this has been answered before, but what's the best way to go about updating SortTV? Can I simply replace sorttv.pl with the one in the zip and leave everything else as is?

I'd prefer to not have to redo my sorttv.conf if it's not necessary.

cliffe Wrote:For keeping your config across updates:

• You can put all your changes in a secondary config, then you would only need to update the new config with one line at the end pointing to your config;
  
• You can just replace the config file with your old one, but new features will just run with their default settings; or,
  
• You could just use arguments to configure it when starting SortTV (for example, in your crontab).

Must have been an updating config issue or a permissions issue, completely removed sortTV, started again and now working again!!

Sorry about that Cliffe!!

Gfei Wrote:Latest update is pretty sweet, I've been looking for a movie sorting option under linux for a while now. One thing i noticed, the script seems to simply remove "-" without putting a space in it's place like it does with periods. This causes misspellings in the movie names so the movie title can't be found in MovieDB.

is ther any way to force the first letter to be uppercase?

butcherbird Wrote:I love this script. Unfortunately it's hanging for me on linux all of a sudden. Even the old versions back to 1.27 that I still had on the box are not completing so it's something environmental. Now.. I'm not sure what is going on. I've narrowed it down to this if condition:

if(move_episode($pureshowname, $showname, $series, $episode, $year, $file) eq $REDO_FILE) {
out('std','test line 474',"\n");
redo FILE;
}
If I comment that out it completes fine though it doesn't actually sort anything.

I think its looping or something but its not doing the 'redo FILE' that I can tell because my 'test line 474' line I dropped in the script isn't showing up in std output... I'm not a perl guy, pasting in those little debug std outs to narrow down the condition is about the extent of my abilities... Anyone ran into it just hanging like this?

Nexxo Wrote:Hi, I'm trying to get SortTV to work, but I keep getting the same error so wondering if you can shed some light on it.

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 Server.

Whenever I run sorttv, this is the output I get.

Code:

Sorting:
    From /var/downloads/Linked/Tosh.0.S01.MiXED.XVID-BTN/
    TV episodes into /opt/tvsort/current/test/
22:29:14, 11-8-2011
INFO: trying to move Tosh 0 season 1 episode 1

mismatched tag at line 6, column 2, byte 160 at /usr/lib/perl5/XML/Parser.pm line 187

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Dave

mcduff Wrote:I'm having a slight issue with this excellent script. I set it up, loaded all the required modules etc and ran. The images from tvdb are all corrupt. The movie ones were fine however the tv episode ones were all bad. I used activestate perl but tested again on another box with strawberry perl and got exactly the same result. I'm sort of expecting that something is wrong at the tvdb side however since nobody else is commenting I'm now wondering if I've done something wrong. Any thoughts?

thanks
Mcduff

cliffe Wrote:Unfortunately this is a known limitation of the TVDB module on Windows. I believe the reason for this is that the module does not switch to binary mode before writing the file. If you want, you could remind the author of that great Perl module (search "Perl CPAN TVDB"). I recommend you disable downloading TV images.

cliffe Wrote:Hmmm. It is likely something inside the move_episode function. It would be great if you could try your debug line approach inside that function, and see how far it gets.

Pablohoney Wrote:Hey Cliffe,
I've been real busy lately and I'm hoping I'll be able to help personally to give me a chance to learn some perl. (too bad you didn't choose python, but anyway) I just tested your 1.31 update with a handful of files below and I just want to show you what I got out of it. I'm sorry I didn't respond earlier when you asked for examples.





I find the "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.avi" the most curious.

I also have a feature request that I hope to maybe implement myself someday. I'd like to be able to pick a preferred format and/or quality to keep in case there are multiple.

Great work Cliffe!
