I attempted to set this up... but being completely new to this type of code... I was completely lost trying to set it up.


I tried to set this up too first thing I noticed is that nothing appears where the set tags window is its blank.

In the episode guide window all I get is a title.

That is what you normally get when you don't have an EPG for a title. Did you tell it that the profile has an epg? It is done a few ways (set in the code)... you can put <epg=1> in notes... or you could use tags as a couple examples.

Did you point to the folder where you have the episode guides stored? You have to tell the loader where they are on your hard drive... then use one of the methods to show them.

There is a whole section you have to set in the code of the loader. Look for this section for all the things you can set....

Quote:

// -------- Configuration block - Start --------
// TV Episode Guide Storage Location (EPGSL)
var pathToEpGStorage = "F:\\EPG\\"; // <-- SET
// filename
var fileNamePrefix = "epg-"; // <-- SET
var excludeLocality = true; // <-- SET true/false
var fileNameSuffix = ".html"; // <-- SET .htm/.html

// TAGS
var tagName = "EPGL/Load"; // <-- SET
var useFooterTagName = "EPGL/Links"; // <-- SET

var useNotes =false; // <-- SET true/false
var useNotesFilename = false; // <-- SET true/false
var useTagName = true; // <-- SET true/false
var useTheIFrame = true; // <-- SET true/false
var useTheFooter = true; // <-- SET true/false
var tryLoadEPGAnyway = false; // <-- SET true/false
// Some variables for the footer.
var epgURLSource = "epg.dvdaholic.me.uk";
var epgURLSourceSearch = "?letter=";
// -------- Configuration block - The End --------


... and see what I put in bold... that is where you put the path to your EPG folder.

fileName = fileName.replace("[epgfn=","");
if (fileName.indexOf(".htm") == -1) fileName += fileNameSuffix;
pageToLoad = pathToEpGStorage + fileName;

I get the error when I put in <epg=1>, but no error when I use <epg>

No idea why by looking at the above. But is it working with <epg> (showing the episode guide?) then? if so that is good... use it. If not what do you see in the epg screen when you put <epg> in notes?

In other words the same thing if that is on every profile... the title on a dark blue background.

OK... one thing keeps popping in my mind. Did you go to the site and download the episode guides we created? (See my signature for link) And if you did... did you unzip it... put the contents into your epg folder (C:\\Program Files (x86)\\DVD Profiler\\epg\)... rename and edit the files as needed?  Most are in text format you need to change it to html format and change the name to epgupcnumber.html (since in the html window code you have it as var fileNamePrefix = "epg"; // <-- SET)You also have to make sure the paths for any images are correct for your use.

Only thing I didn't do was rename it.

That is your problem then... you have to rename the files as it looks for the epgUPCNUMBER.html to show it.

I'm using the UPC for Stargate Atlantis: The Complete Fourth Season as the example

Is the format for the rename this

epg883904110132.html

or

883904110132.html

I tried it both ways and I still have just the title after I renamed it.

Going by what you have posted above in the code you have it set as...

var fileNamePrefix = "epg"; // <-- SET

mine is set as...

var fileNamePrefix = "epg-"; // <-- SET

so I would use epg-883904110132.html

But in your case since you have

var fileNamePrefix = "epg"; // <-- SET

it seems that...

epg883904110132.html

would be what you are supposed to use. I don't know for sure as I never has mine set any differently.

Did you also put <epg=1> in notes? because you still need to tell the epg loader it has one.

Another thought that came to mind...

When you renamed it... were you sure to change the file type to html and not just add it to the name where it is still a text file? I know with XP I had to tell it in the folder options to allow me to see the file extensions so I could change them.

Stargate Atlantis: The Complete Fourth Season was already in an html format so I used that one as a test.

I'm going to try the way you have it set.
