And notice that I get script error's on some DVD's (non tv) and TV shows on DVD. it's purely random. Any ideas why?

Just a quick question, Is your TVEPG tag the last tag in your tag hierarchy? If you have child tags to TVEPG and anyone of those child tags is checked it will set the bool=1 and continue.

Here are how my tags are setup.

- Blue-ray Disc
- EPG (changed it, still get error, found posible reason)
- For Sale / Trade
- James Bond
-- Daniel Craig
-- George Lazenby
-- Pierce Brosnan
-- Roger Moore
-- Sean Connnery
-- Timothy Dalton
- Sports
-- MLB
-- NBA
-- NFL
- TV (may chage it to Television)
-- 21 Jump Street
--24
Etc. not naming all the tv shows, I'd be here forever.


It seems that on the TV shows the error shows up on have html notes (the episode guides via hyperlink) that have not yet been converted to the new format. I got tired of looking around, so I have not explored the error on the movie profiles as I don't remember a specific one.

That is a good point. So I guess if there are children to that tag, then it must be of that kind which really require the parent to be checked as well...

I'm unfamiliar with how EPG's where loaded in v2.4/2.5 so, I don't know what the problem might be, but it doesn't look like a tag error.

For the most part... the html code for the epg was placed directly into the notes field. on vers. 2.4/2.5
Though some did use a javascript code in the notes field to make the epg pop up into it's own window.

I currently do not quite understand what is the big deal in having the EPGs loaded from files, I'm doing it for more than a year now. 

What would perhaps be  is to link the episode guides online from a file server meaning that they can be maintained in a single place. Take for example the URL
"http://epg.dvdaholic.me.uk/English/Adventures of Superman- Season 1 - addicted2dvd.html"
for the first season of "Adventures of Superman" in English or the URL
"http://epg.dvdaholic.me.uk/German/24 - Season 1 - Mithirandir.html"
for the first season of "24" in German.

Personally, I wouldn't like to use the UPC's for identifying the EPG's because many DVD releases of the same tv series in the same language could not be shared, e.g. US/UK/Canadian/Australian releases or re-releases with different UPCs.
Best regards,

I agree that epgs on the server shouldn't really be named after the upc. That just confuses things.

One advantage of having them locally is speed and availability.

However, having them dynamically download from the epg site is a rather cool idea.

Or, another idea: 

Consider the epg's located locally. If no EPG locally exists for a DVD, the appropriate html window could contain an "install" button, which checks if an EPG exists for it on the server and downloads and displays it afterwards if pressed. Or an "update" button, which cheks if a newer version exists for the EPG currentyl installed. 

There are so many nice things to be done...

Loading the EPGs from a server would not allow me to modify them to my personal taste... and I'd be wondering what kind of bandwidth would be required to host that.

Now, that Install button idea is a whole new dimension... Although I personally have no problem to browse to the EPG website and look for the file(s) needed...

The install button would require direct disc access (-> ActiveX), and I don't think that many user would take the risk allowing a remote website to write on their computer...

What can be done is a "noepg"-site which redirects you to the epg archive.
Or someone writes a plugin...

I've got a few plugins lined up.  But if no one else takes it on between now and when I'm done, I'd be happy to have a look.  In fact I was already thinking of this for my fourth project.  Of course if someone beats me to it, that would be cool too.

Addicted and ya_shin Rock!

Now I have Episode Guides in my DVDPro 3.0.2.

btw, does anyone know if the EPG's carry over to or negatively affect DVD Mobile?  I'm trying to confirm before I do my next sync.

btw, I created a forum topic in the DVD Mobile Tech Support Section:

Putting them in the notes (like we did pre v3) they should appear in the mobile version without any images. Unless you manually copy the images over. Not something I've tried i must admit.

Using the this method I very much doubt they will appear
