Is there something special to change if I use disc id instead of upc.  I get upc to show, but, not using disc id.


I found when I created child profiles for some of my TV series (thus a cut down version of the main) was to save the cut down version in with the rest of my EPG's by first calling them series name-disc#.html (yes I use html instead of htm)

Then running DVDPv3 I went to the disc in question, looked in the EPG window, right clicked to bring up the properties screen made a note of the number the EPG code was looking for then rename that particulr disc to the EPG required number.
ie 24season1disc1.html - 408431F5B5069A25.html
up came the shortened EPG for disc 1 season 1 of 24.

Yes, sorry xyrano, trying to edit a reply and check disc id number at same time, forgot the leading I.
But still the easiest way I've found so far for doing child EPG's.

Haven't got around to using your v1.2.1 yet still using v1.2,, might even try northbloke's check someday as well

No worries, Steve, as I though it was only a typo, still... important enough to mention.

They (1.2.1 vs 1.2) doesn't really differ that much, just some comment removed and variable rearrangements made, because the need for a tutorial... you know... so you can relax ... for now

Right all we need now xyrano, is a script to send out over the net to tell all the banks to pay our bills for us free of charge so we can spend our lovely cash on buying more DVD's.

It took awhile but I figured it out, except.  On my episode window the top graphic is just a place holder and I do not get the graphic of the TV show that comes with the zip file.  it is a jpg.  Please help.

Did you extract the jpg file and put that in your EPGSL?
The EGPL does not have the capability to configure the paths inside a EPG file from within the EPGL itself, you need to configure those paths. Open the EPG in notepad (or something) and look for '<img src...' inside the EPG. Set the src attribut to a relative path (that way you do not need to edit it if you decide to move EPGSL in the future, you just need to remember to keep all files related to EPGs in the same folder). So a relative path is a path that specifies; "from this folder and downward in the hierarchy". Like so: <img src="./[imagename].jpg" />. You can (if you wish), put all your EPG images in a subfolder to EPGSL. Like so: <img src="./banners/[imagename].jpg" />. I do it this way: <img src="./banner-[title].jpg" />.

The EPGL was design to utilize functionality that (as far as I know) only exists within DVD Profiler 3+. Furthermore, I do not own a device that could install DVD Profiler Mobile 1+ so I can't answer that question.

The TV Series Episode Guide Loader v1.2.1 is now available in my uploaded xyrano - Collection List (v 1.0.0) layout.

It also includes the Gallery Viewer v1.2 and Dynamic Previewer v1.1 which I use when previewing contributions to download.

Enjoy!

Thanks for all the hard work done on this.  I finally got around to installing it yesterday and, except for a few minors issues, got it working just fine.
Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

I got this working relatively quickly (good tutorial), but get a few strange results.

A few profiles (3d Rock from the Sun S1, S2) give an error message: "Notes say get UPC filename, but no file. 404", written over the actual result, which looks just fine, so the file is found. These particular files do not link to jpg or other files.
Additional info: out of 50 cases, I found 4 like this. They have in common that they do not use banners.

I also get an error message on some sound files (.wav) about a missing dll. I can do without that.

I use epg=1, and files with UPC.html naming, and have set that in the editor, and made no other changes.

this also happened to me, you need to check the actuall file to make sure its looking where the jpeg is on your system. Sometimes the person that uploads it does not change the locations.

Dont know about the wav file...Sorry

This is a profile without any jpeg file, so no need to look up anything anywhere. Actually that is the common feature between 4 (out of 50) cases that give this message. I "solved" this by removing the error string, since when a file is really absent, you still get the system 404 message.

As four the sound problem, this apparently happens with anything that isn't mp3.
