Release TV Show Next Aired (Script) Addon, now w/TheTVDB data
Thanks, Wayne.

Uninstalled, then installed the beta from zip. After restart, the log entry for the background process showed up indicating 6.0.7+

Hopefully in 8 hours it will update again :-)

I'm hoping to push the current code out as 6.0.8 sometime next week. If folks could give the git/zip version a try and let me know of any remaining issues that need to be fixed, I'd appreciate it.

Wayne, 6.0.7+ seems to work very well.

Another user recently started a thread about XBMC not exiting completely after it's been closed, which subsequently interferes with WMC's ability to play video, other programs playing audio, etc. I too see this fairly often, and the last thing that's mentioned in my debug logs, right after the good and bad logs diverge, is "script.tv.show.next.aired" failing to stop. I've copied my reply in that thread below and can provide more info if it would help.

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1683293

I get the same thing from time to time. To the OP, I have added a binding to my AutoHotkey file and bound it to a button on my remote control; it runs the following command, where pskill is one of the Sysinternals utilities:

Run pskill xbmc.exe

This lets me easily kill the zombie XBMC when WMC complains the "files needed to play video aren't installed", IIRC the WMC error message.

Below are the ends of the logfiles I just created, just where they begin to diverge. I am using Aeon Nox Gotham 4.1.9.8, but I've been seeing this problem for several skin and Gotham alpha and beta releases. Sorry, no reliable repro case so far, but just now, it happened when I loaded XBMC, went to my TV show library, selected an episode, watched for about 5 sec, and quit XBMC.

Hung (taskbar icon gone, but process still alive):

Make sure that you're testing the latest zip file (6.0.7+), since it has a fix in it for the backend-info-provider not exiting (not to be confused with the background updating proc).

More info: the backend-info-provider has always exited when told that the window it monitors is invisible (it checks xbmc.getCondVisibility("Window.IsVisible(10025)") in all versions that I know of). Sadly, if the user exits with this info-script going, xbmc doesn't bother to tell it that the window is no longer visible. My latest version thus also checks xbmc.abortRequested (like it always has in the background updater), which ensures that the shutdown request gets noticed even when the visible-window check isn't working right.

If you see any other failure to exit, let me know.

I Installed the addon today but I am getting strange results after I perform a scan.

It shows Next Episodes that do not exist. For example it states 24 -S09E01 will air (there is no s09) or Heroes - S05E01 (there is no s05)

Is this normal?

You can answer questions such as that by visiting thetvdb.com. I know you're behind the times on 24:

http://thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid=...3245&lid=7

But I don't know what's up with the heroes data (I haven't heard if it's making a comeback in 2015 or someone inserted a bum record):

http://thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid=...7821&lid=7

EDIT: It's apparently making a return as a mini-series in 2015.

Version 6.0.8 was just approved, so everyone will be getting the newest version in their updates today.

One new thing in the release is for anyone who has a desire to see their next-aired data outside of xbmc: a simple python webserver script was added (cal-server). If you run it manually, it will serve a simple HTML table of upcoming shows on port 9999 (which I should eventually make settable via command-line option). By default that script sits unused, so it's only there for those power users that want to see the data in a web browser. See the script's opening comments for the /path/components that it accepts (which can customize the view).

Thanks for this post, it helped me locate the problem.

I think I am having this problem, I am running Frodo - Ubuntu. When I started XBMC it did a TV next aired update, then when I restarted, it just crashes. How can I disable this addon, or make it work? Please help, I have been using XBMC for a while, but not very technical with it.

If xbmc is crashing before you can get to addons to disable it, delete the script manually from addons folder.

Thanks, I figured it would be something like that, but I looked through many folders and couldn't find anything that looked like the one.
The closest I found was: /usr/share/xbmc/addons

But there was nothing like TV.show.next.aired, etc. The closest I saw was metadata.tvdb.com, but the files in there were old.

In fact I didn't see any recent folders or files, all from 1/2013 which i assume is when I installed it.

I am using the Aeon NOX skin if that matters.
