MDB.ini for the FilmWeb.pl portal

Thank you for your interest in the topic.

I'm waiting for the first beta version.

Thank you very much @Blackbear199

I'll test both tonight and post the results.

Hi @Blackbear199

Everything works fine.

I only have a problem with matching series if the guide shows the episode number in the form of "E365"
I struggled a few evenings with "episodenum_pattern" matching but somehow I didn't get anything off.
It also doesn't match some series for me, even though they are in the FilmWeb database.

Could you take a look at my mdb_config and tell me what I'm doing wrong there.

In that case, the Bones series should be matched, and unfortunately it is not.
After downloading the data from the tv.wp.pl website, I have the season and episode number.
S10E5
And unfortunately, I do not want to match what is on the FW website
https://www.filmweb.pl/serial/Ko%C5%9Bci-2005-233995/season/10

I have the same situation with The Mentalist series and a few others.

I'm creating an EPG for over 200 channels for Enigma2 receivers and I have a lot of inquiries why some data are missing for these series and for others they are.

I will be grateful for clear hints regarding MDB configuration.

Hi @Blackbear199

Another evening of fighting with matches to the FW base.

Thanks for the advice earlier, you were right with the titles.
After removing the titleoriginal, there are many more matches.

Unfortunately, the bones continue to be thrown at my feet. :)
I've tried all sorts of different settings including episode number patterns and I can't get matches to Bones 10 and a few other shows but luckily they're becoming fewer and fewer. It's weird because Bones 8 matches.
I'm out of ideas and asking for some advice.

There is really no way to match the FW base of serials which as:
E684
E2/18
There are a lot of Polish series with this numbering of episodes and they are described in the same way in the FW database with the same numbering.

Why do I use tv.wp.pl Revision 8?
I downloaded this one from GitHub SilentButeo2, it is the only editable version for tv.wp.pl.
If you can share version 10, I would be grateful to you.

There is also tv.wp.pl.E but as we know, I won't change anything there and it has subtitleoriginal in addition to titleoriginal, so mdb doesn't work at all.

Some corrections in the tv.wp.pl ini regarding were made by my friend @doglover because your version posted on GitHub selectively did not fetch descriptions for random series, movies and other events.

Creating EPG for Enigma2 receivers is a bit of a hassle because enigma2 only reads title, sub-title, desc and skips all the rest of the data, just doesn't load it.
All the data I want to display must be written to desc
You can see it in the attached configuration file.
I also attach a screenshot of what it looks like on the E2 receiver.

I will be grateful for any suggestions and advice and for your free time.

Regards

You're actually right, I hadn't thought of that.
This seems more meaningful.
It would be best to have a choice and disable the appropriate line in the ini file.

With my programming skills it might be hard to change this in the filmweb ini but I can always try.
As a last resort, I will ask one of the developers to make such changes.

In general, my plan is to get ratings for movies and series from FW and IMDB.
In one post-process, it probably can't be done, but if I start two, it can be something. One will add ratings from FW and another will add IMDB to it

Thanks for the suggestion.

It would also be useful to have @Blackbear199 say what he thinks about it and whether it is feasible.

I came up with this while reading the documentation and it was easy to achieve as well
<star-rating system="mixed">WP 'starrating'\t\tFilmWeb 'mdb-starrating'</star-rating>

But I made my life difficult and download events without ratings because the ratings in the tv.wp.pl guide are not very reliable and differ from what is in the FW database.

So far I've come up with it this way:
1. I download events from the WP website and save them to guide.xml
2. I run the MDB process that matches my events to the IMDB database and saves with added ratings to guide_IMDB.xml

<!-- Result -->
<star-rating>'mdb-starrating'</star-rating>

3. The next step is to run another MDB process and match the events to the FW database and obtain ratings for them.

<!-- Result -->
<title>'title'{ - 'subtitle(, )'}</title>
<desc>{[ 'category(, )' ] }{('episode(, )') }{'country(, )' }{'productiondate(, )' }{('rating(, )')}{\nFilmWeb: 'mdb-starrating(, )'}{ IMDB: 'starrating(, )'}{\n\n'description'}{\n\nReżyseria: 'director(, )'}{\nWystępują: 'actor(, )[max_elements=5]'}</desc>
<sub-title />
<credits />
<date />
<category />
<country />
<episode-num />
<rating />
<icon />
<star-rating />
<star-rating system="imdb" />

In this step, I also rewrite the data I care about to <desc> and delete all the data that Enigma2 will not display anyway.
And finally I get a satisfactory result.

<programme start="20230214220000 +0100" stop="20230215005000 +0100" channel="Fox.pl">
<title lang="pl">Cast Away: Poza światem</title>

</programme>

I've only been creating an EPG for a short time.
If there is another way to achieve this or you have any other thoughts, I'm open to suggestions.

I'm still struggling with these matches of series to the FW base.
It's getting better step by step :)

Hi @Blackbear199

After updating WG+ to V5.1.5.0, I have a problem with filmweb.pl_.filmweb_series.ini

I know that in 5.1.5.0 there are a lot of changes in the MDB, but maybe this error can be fixed somehow while waiting for the next beta version.
In version V5.0.1.1 it works without any problems.

Hi @Blackbear199

I updated WG+ to version 5.2.0.0

Unfortunately, MDB postprocess for filmweb.pl gives me an error at the very beginning.

In version V5.0.1.1, postprocess works without any problems on the same ini files.

Could you check and possibly fix it.
