Format <credits>, is it possible?

Hi gurabli,

it looks as if you did a great job! Which site is this? Can you include the siteini next time? We may want to include it in the collection.

Your questions: What you ask is certainly possible. But before I point you to the solutions, realise that the xmltv example you presented is perfect and fully according to the xmltv rules. It is very strange that MP has problems with it. I suspect that there is something wrong with the setup of the MP xmltv importer, also because there are a lot of other MP users using WG++ and this problem is never reported before.

If you want the format of the credits despite that: First read chapter 4.6.1.3 'Multiple value elements and modify' and 4.6.1.4 of the manual

You can do :

If you want to reduce the number of credits;

actor.modify {remove(type=element)|2} * this only leaves the first two actors, the rest is removed

After that, if you wish you can merge the remaining actors in one actor element by replacing the element separator | by a comma/space combi, like this:

actor.modify {replace|\||, } * result <actor>Actor-1, Actor-2</actor>

(at this moment I am on the move and not able to verify the lines above, so forgive me if not perfect!!)

description.modify {remove(type=regex)|"Feliratozva a Teletext \d*\. oldalán\."}

should do the trick.

Maybe you didn't use update="f" to force a (re)grab of the showdetails? (Else the old values of the desc will just be left untouched). If that isn't the problem add (debug) to the line Francis suggested , . That way you can see in the log what's missing. Like this:
description.modify {remove(debug type=regex)|"(Feliratozva a Teletext \d*\. oldalán\.)"}
(I also added () to the regex but it should also work without it as Francis suggests!)

Nothing wrong with the line.

Just tried, but got also strange behaviour.
Using
description.modify {remove(debug type=regex)|"Feliratozva a Teletext \d*\. oldalán\."}
Seems to work, if I may believe the logging. But when you look in the guide.xml, there are still traces of the text. Some are gone, some are still there. Tested with 1.1.1/53.16

I'll update the .ini on the site, because I have found an error in it as well. So just start from version 8 of the siteini.

So Jan, debug time I think ;-)

Gurabli and Francis,

Gurabli, you are running a rather old version of WG++ according to your logfile (1.1.1/52.11) Upgrade to the latest beta please.

Francis: I am on the move untill coming sunday. I will look into it then. Con you add the logfile you got? Are you sure that there are no mismatching characters in the description wrt the regex? (I have seen sites using nonstandard 'white space' characters which look like spaces?. And things like that.)

No, nothing like that. Remove works good, but apparently, the result is not being written to the guide.xml, or something else is going wrong.
Attached all the files.

I notice an index_description in the ini! Are you sure the teletext data that fails to be removed is not from this index_description?

Jan

Hi,

being back home , I was finally able to check the isue of why the teletext data was only partly removed. As I already suspected the remaining teletext sentence orginated indeed from the index_description! The problem is solved  by adding:

index_description.modify {remove(type=regex)|"Feliratozva a Teletext \d*\. oldalán\."}

and

description.modify {remove(type=regex)|"Feliratozva a Teletext \d*\. oldalán\."}

I have read manual but it's unclear how to accomplish what i want.

I want to remove all credits for tvgids.nl.ini, for some reason Kodi/XBMC can't handle this so i would like to remove it but don't know how.

Any tips?

Strange that Kodi, can't handle this.

Well, you can't just remove the credits in one go. But you can remove alle elements that can be a part of the credits.

For the tvgids.nl, just add next at the end of the file.

director.modify {clear}
actor.modify {clear}
presenter.modify {clear}
writer.modify {clear}

(Niets meer, en ook niets minder )
