is yours native english? (meaning using the themoviedb scrapper?)
it happened when PTV cannot read the info of the movie and just skips it when creating the channel.
Thanks everyone for the help
yes but ember doesnt scrape with the hebrew scrapper.
this has advanced a bit and now i know that while populating the channels, the movies with a long description are not displayed and the movie after them is - so that will create a one movie epg sync issue.
while editing the files, i noticed that lines that has 609 characters are not displayed and when i shorten them to 580 characters, the epg os spot on.

i found a weird bug and i hope someone can direct me in the right direction.
when PTV populate the channels, it takes the info of the movies to display in the info bar.
when the description on the movie exceed 500 characters (more or less. the line including the movie name is more than 520 characters), PTV cannot display it and show the next movie's info.
once i edit the channel file (the m3u ) and reduce the file to 550 characters, the info displays it ok.
i think PTV cannot handle long movie information.
now my question is, does anyone know where the in the PTV scripts, there is the parameter? and maybe add a line that tells it only to import not all the info of the movie (it doesnt fit in the info screen anyway)
this goes the same for the EPG windows.
maybe that is the source of the EPG sync issues?
thanks
EDIT: when editing the m3u files, i found out that lines that are not showing in the EPG are lines that have a total of 609 characters (including movie name). it is always 609 so maybe there is a parameter somewhere in PTV' s system files that:
* either import 609 characters and cannot display them
* epg and tv overlay info cannot display info that has 609 characters
this takes the epg out of sync.
so there is a need to change the import settings or display settings.
anyone have an idea what needs to be done?
thanks
I'll take a look...
thanks mate.
if you need me to send you a few m3u files with hebrew scraping just let me know
i am curious to hear what you found out.
edit: started to manually edit each playlist and XBMC database and trim the problematic movie info down to 570 characters and it worked perfectly.
so as i see it there are 3 options:
1) fix the problem that PTV has with movie info with more than 570 characters.
2) trim the movie info direct in the XBMC database (maybe a daily script)
3) run a batch command that goes through the m3u files and trim the long files.
what do you think?
Yes send me m3u
