Error generating REX in version 5.1.4

Hi, happy new year

I am testing the new version 5.1.4 and I get an error when generating the REX

In version 5.0.1.1 it works correctly

Thanks for your time

the postprocessor was rewritten since V5.0.1.1
i tried V5.1.3 and same error.
so no doubt the rewrite broke something,sent a message to jan to check for the problem.

Hi .. that problem is caused by a new feature of REX that allows to convert episode numbers format from xmltv_ns to onscreen vice versa. For that it checks if an episode pattern is specified in rex.config and doing that it tries to read the url element in the channel section of the xmltv source file.
Your epgsinrexDEP.xml doesn't have these url elements. That causes the crash.
I have changed the source code such that that won't happen anymore. Use evaluation version 5.1.4.1 of the program on GIT https://github.com/SilentButeo2/webgrabplus-siteinipack/blob/master/eval...

It can also be fixed if you add an empty url element to all channels in the channel section of the xmltv source

Thank you very much for the quick solution, REX postprocessing now works correctly.

But, I have encountered another problem in version 5.1.4.1, with the same ini I don't get the same output as with version 5.0.1.1

what ini are you using.
the (?) at the end of the title's in the 5.1.4.1 xml usually means something is broken in the ini.

It is an ini modified by me, I think the part that gives problems is this:

* ARREGLO TITULOS CON ":"
if {('temp_1' ~~ "TEMPORADA")|end}
title.modify {remove('subtitle' not "")|: 'subtitle'}
else ('temp_1' not ~ "TEMPORADA")
subtitle.modify {clear}
temp_3.scrub {single||||}
end_if

* TITLEORIGINAL
videoquality.modify {addstart|'temp_3'}
if {('videoquality' ~~ "TEMPORADA")|end}
videoquality.modify {clear}
else ('title' = 'videoquality')
videoquality.modify {clear}
end_if

else ('temp_1' no ~ "TEMPORADA")
should be
else ('temp_1' not~ "TEMPORADA")
i assume u meants not contain?

also the (?) means the index title and the details title dont match.
you should see messages in your webgrab log showing the title for each for every show that has the (?) in the title.

there were issues with using if/else from V5.1 to V5.1.3(i think).
jan said he had fixed this in V5.1.4 but i havnt had time to do any tests to confirm.
if i remember correctly the arguments were being ignored.

you could also try this,it should do the same without the need for if/else

* ARREGLO TITULOS CON ":"
title.modify {remove(['temp_1' ~~ "TEMPORADA"] ['subtitle' not ""] &)|: 'subtitle'}
loop {('temp_1' not ~ "TEMPORADA" max=1)|end}
subtitle.modify {clear}
temp_3.scrub {single||||} ****replace this with your actual scrub,i assume posting in the forums messed it up
end_loop

* TITLEORIGINAL
videoquality.modify {addstart|'temp_3'}
videoquality.modify {clear(['videoquality' ~~ "TEMPORADA"] ['title' = 'videoquality'] \|)}

Exactly, I have checked my ini and indeed the new versions do not process the if/else correctly

Hi
if/else and loops only work properly in 5.1.4 if scopes are applied for all lines in the siteini . Also on places where scopes don't seem necessary.
Upload your ini , I will try to fix it . I might also be able to change the source such that it isn't that strict with scopes anymore. I prefer if you attach it to a mail, see http://webgrabplus.com/content/contact

Hello, how quickly you found the solution.

It seems that everything works fine in version 5.1.4.2, but there is one parameter when creating the REX that does not work

category lang="es" 'category'
category lang="kodi" 'category(, )

Category "kodi" is not processed.

My REX is so special because I run webgrab on a very limited VPS, I had to simplify all the processes to create an xml with all the information and then with awk I create different xmls for different applications, KODI, tvheadend, PLEX, etc.

Regards David

jan would have to confirn this bu i suspect its because of the language attribute.
one of the updates in V5.1.4.x is the ability select between title and title original.
webgrab identifies each buy it language attribute.
the rex documentation only mentions the title about this so i'm not even sure if its supported for other elements.

example
source xml
<title lang="es">Spanish title</title>
<title lang="en">English title</title>

rex config
<title lang="en">'title</title>

only the english title would be in the rex guide.xml,the spanish title would be omitted.
if this convertion holds true for other elements(if they support the lang attribute) then the reason why its omitted is because there no category with the lang="kodi" attribute in your source.xml
i assume the category with lang="es" works because the category exists with this attribute.

Edit:
i did some tests wuith V5.4.2
i dont think the language attribute is support for category element(or its a bug) as no category elements are written if a language attribute is used the rex config.

also there's another bug i found.
if source xml has multiple categories then multiple language attributes are add to rex guide.

source xml
<category lang="en">Movie</category>
<category lang="en">Comedy</category>

rex config
<category>'category(,)'</category>
rex guide.xml
<category lang="en,en"&ht;Movie,Comedy</category&ht;

if i use..
<category lang="en">'category(,)'</category>

nothing is written to rex guide.xml even though the source has category elements with this language attribute.
thats why its either a bug or the lang attribute applies to the title only.

I am using REX Version: 3.1.1 which for my use works perfectly.
In tvheadend I use an xml with "es" and "en" as languages for different configurations, and the "kodi" language I use to generate categories separated by "," for KODI to identify them.
I know it's a bit "special" the way I use webgrab.

talked to jan about this and here the reply..

It seems that you cannot set a new the attribute name without adding the /a for the element value . This works
rex config
<category lang="kodi">'category/a(, )'</category>
rex guide result..
<category lang="kodi">Series(es), Drama(es), DramaSeries(en)</category>
But without /a it doesnt. Which more or less is correct because the attribute is used as element selection . So without /a it tries to locate categories with lang kodi, which arent there.

you could also use /a+

rex config
<category lang="kodi">'category/a+(, )'</category>
rex guide result..
<category lang="kodi">Series(lang es), Drama(lang es), DramaSeries(lang en)</category>

/a and /a+ is explained in the docs.

OK, I understand the reasoning, with your solution it works.

Now I have another problem, when doing the REX some "desc lang" are lost that in captured xml if they are there.

Sorry to give you so much work ;-)

the /a and /a+ applies to all elements that have a lang attribute,description is included.
title
subtitle
description
category
country
premiere
other that i remember off the top of my head.
the full list is avilable in the xmltv.dtd
https://github.com/XMLTV/xmltv/blob/master/xmltv.dtd

It should work for all supported attributes, not only lang .. like system, type, even role

there is a table in the documentation , chapter 5.1.6.5

The problem is that it does not always have the same behavior.
As I said, when doing the REX, information is lost.

Sorry I don't understand that . What (and where) in the captured xml (is that the 'conrex' one?) is lost . Can you point to a location in that file ?

You already answered that .. will look why ..

I attach two images, one made with REX 3.1.1 and the other with REX 3.2.1.

With version 3.2.1 it seems that information is lost, but it does not happen in all the programs, only in some of them.

I think I know what happens, version 3.2.1 does not like "|".

its fine to use the |
appears to be the custom lang="sc",lang="cc" breaking this.
if you use just <desc> results look ok.
jan will have to look into it.

Contrary to what Blackbear found, the | character must not be used ! It messes up the lines in rex.config while parsing.
If you remove all | or replace them with some other character it all seems to work .

I understand, so I will continue using REX 3.1.1 which works fine for me.

Hello again

I think the new version of webgrab 5.1.4.3 still has problems with if/else, this command does not execute the first condition

if {('index_category' ~ "sport")|end}
url.modify {addstart|'showicon'}
else
url.modify {addstart|'temp_4'}
end_if
