Hi,
I'm currently making my own mdbini file. Information is being retrieved from this page - http://obuolys.lt. So far, I was able to get search results and grab the title with production date. However, the problem is that wb+ ignores the prodcution date when matching epg and mdb values. For example, there is a movie titled "Hope Springs", which was released in 2012. The search engine in that page uses only title, there is no way to add production date. So, after looking for a movie, the results are:
- Hope Springs (2003)
- Hope Springs (2012)
Now, when matching these results with epg entries, somehow wb+ ignores the production date and doen't find any matches, which is wrong. From mdb.config.xml:
<matchmovie mustmatch="title,productiondate" optional="" minimum="2"/>

mdb_director.scrub {multi(debug)|p1|Režisavo:|">|</a>| </strong><br/>}
Also, I am not getting any debug messages when grabbing productiondate and director.
If I use these settings for matching:
<matchmovie mustmatch="title,productiondate" optional="" minimum="1"/>
...then I am getting this:
Matching entry found in obuolys.lt, showid = 10641-prazydusios-viltys
No usefull data in MDB site!!
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

at WebGrab.PostProcess.LocalMdb.AddNoMatch2LocalMdb(XmlDocument xlmdb, XmlNode xn, String searchstring)
at WebGrab.PostProcess..ctor(String[] processes)
at WebGrab.Program.Main(String[] args)
So, it gets showid 10641-prazydusios-viltys (which is the first search result).

p.s. Sorry for using quote bbc for code, I didn't manage to post xml code into <pre> tags.
I found my mistake. I didn't read the comments in default mdb.config carefully, enough. Using this the matching works like it should:
Hi,
Very interesting that you create a new man ini! I am currently absent from all my stuff so cannot assist you right now. I will contact you next week

Actually, everything is going great with the creation of the mdbini. Though, I have a question. Is it possible to update epg values only if mdb finds information about them? Currently, if mdbini can't find any matches of a specific show, it doesn't skip it, but applies values from mdb (even tho it didn't get any data) and the output looks like this:
It would be useful if we could make some kind of conditional statements to keep original epg values depending on the success of mdb search results, for example:
...or...
Hi,
as said , I can't help you right now because I am on the move, but just a question : Are you using the latest build? I can be mistaken, but I remember that there was a similar question some time ago which appeared to be a bug. I fixed it so if I am right it should work in the latest build.
But, maybe I am wrong.
I will contact you early next week and would like to have a look at your mdbini and your mdbconfig

Hi Jan,
Sure. Take your time.
I downloaded the latest build and installed an upgrade (Upgrade 54). The log file says this - "WebGrab+Plus/w MDB & REX Postprocess -- version 1.54.6/0.01 -- Jan van Straaten" and "Starting MDB Postprocess .. Version: 1.5".
I attached all your requested files.
Hi,
the problem is in mdb.config.xml. Any character you add there will come into the output xmltv, unless you surround it by {}.
Like, you specify <title>'mdb-title' ('mdb-productiondate')</title>. :
There is a space, a ( and a ). So if for example mdb-title and mdb-productiondate have no value (e.g because that show had no match in the mdb site) you get
<title> ()</title>
Try this ; <title>'mdb-title'{ ('mdb-productiondate')}</title>
Then if mdb-productiondate has no value, these extra characters are ignored. The {} characters are not displayed because they are control chars
Also. .. I am not sure if the nesting of {} in
<desc>{{'mdb-description(, )'}{\n\nRežisavo: 'mdb-director(, )'.}{\n\nVaidina: 'mdb-actor(, )' ir kiti.}}</desc>
works. Try without the starting and trailing {} . If you want to display any {} try to escape them like \{ and \} , but I am not sure about that. maybe I forgot to add that in the program.
Jan
p.s. One more small thing in your ini:
You use :
mdb_description.modify {addend|.}
This adds a . even when mdb_description is empty. Better make it conditional:
mdb_description.modify {addend('mdb_description' not ""|.} or short:
mdb_description.modify {addend(not "")|.}
