XMLTV: It´s possible get the star rating?

Nicolas Rioja

Hi,

I get the EPG info from xmltv and inside I can see the star rating value but I´ve tried to get that info from tvheadend without success.

This is the original input of the .xml file:

  <programme start="20161129120500 +0100" stop="20161129135500 +0100" channel="Atreseries">
    <title lang="es">El síndrome de Ulises</title>
    <desc lang="es">Episodio: S1
Descripción:Ulises es un joven niño rico, que acaba de venir de los Estados Unidos, donde, a parte de salir de fiesta y conocer a chicas, ha terminado sus estudios de medicina. A la vuelta a España, le espera un panorama muy distinto al que está acostumbrado, ya que se convierte en el coordinador de una clínica ubicada en las afueras de la ciudad. Allí, tendrá que lidiar con sus nuevos compañeros: Reyes, una atractiva enfermera que tiene mucha empatía con los pacientes; Cristóbal, el divertido médico de cabecera, y Estela, la trabajadora social del centro.Esta comedia social narra el estrés que sufre un 'niño de papá', acostumbrado a una vida guiada por el ocio y el placer, al conseguir un trabajo de responsabilidad en un hospital. Interpretada por Miguel Ángel Muñoz, le acompañan en el reparto rostros populares del celuloide (Nancho Novo, ''La Celestina'') y la televisión (Toni Acosta, quien ya había coincidido con el protagonista en la serie ''Un paso adelante'', y Olivia Molina de ''Al salir de clase''). 
	¤ Fecha de producción:2007. 
	¤ Intérpretes: Miguel Ángel Muñoz, Carla Antonelli, Toni Acosta, Nancho Novo, Olivia Molina. 
	¤ Género:Series de comedia españolas. 
	¤ Calificación: +7.</desc>

    <episode-num system="onscreen">S1</episode-num>
    <rating system="ES">
      <value>+7</value>
    </rating>
    <star-rating>
      <value>1.0</value>
    </star-rating>
    <review type="text">+7</review>
  </programme>

I´ve been reading this info:

https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/Epgdb

And I´ve tried the next changes in the line but wihtout success.
In the same line:

<star-rating><value>1.0</value></star-rating>

Changing the value to this:

<star-rating><value>1.5</value></star-rating>

<star-rating><value>1/5</value></star-rating>

<star-rating><value>1</value></star-rating>

And even changing <star-rating> by <star_rating> based in the episode objects:
https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/Epgdb#Episode-object-epg_episode_t

<star_rating><value>1.5</value></star_rating>

<star_rating><value>1/5</value></star_rating>

<star_rating><value>1</value></star_rating>

But tvheadend is unable to recognize the star in the EPG section:

So the question is if it´s possible to do with an xmltv file and how should appear the line to be recognized by tvheadend.

Thanks a lot!

I don't get it, unless maybe you have an older version of TVHeadEnd or the code is buggy. I am looking at https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/blob/master/src/epggrab/module/xmltv.c but I am not a programmer (especially not a C programmer) but I suspect the section that is relevant is this:


/*
 * Star rating
 *   <star-rating>
 *     <value>3.3/5</value>
 *   </star-rating>
 */
static int _xmltv_parse_star_rating
  ( epg_episode_t *ee, htsmsg_t *body, uint32_t *changes )
{
  double a, b;
  htsmsg_t *stars, *tags;
  const char *s1, *s2;
  char *s1end, *s2end;

  if (!ee || !body) return 0;
  if (!(stars = htsmsg_get_map(body, "star-rating"))) return 0;
  if (!(tags  = htsmsg_get_map(stars, "tags"))) return 0;
  if (!(s1 = htsmsg_xml_get_cdata_str(tags, "value"))) return 0;
  if (!(s2 = strstr(s1, "/"))) return 0;

  a = strtod(s1, &s1end);
  b = strtod(s2 + 1, &s2end);
  if ( a == 0.0f || b == 0.0f) return 0;

  return epg_episode_set_star_rating(ee, (100 * a) / b, changes);
}

My only guess would be that your code sample shows


<star-rating>
<value>1.0</value>
</star-rating>

And TVHeadEnd is looking for


<star-rating>
  <value>1/5</value>
</star-rating>

or something similar. But if you have an older version of TVHeadEnd the code may be different, or the current code might be buggy, I don't know.

Hi K Shea,

Following your indications I´ve changed one program like you wrote above where TVHeadEnd is expecting... but unfortunately without success.

Anyway I would like to share with you my setup to get more details:

TVHeadEnd | Version: 4.1-2195~g65dfd15

I´m using xmltv to inyect the .xml file generated vía WegGrabPlus (http://www.webgrabplus.com/) to tvheadend.

So, not sure if there is a bug or is another type of problem.

Regards.

You need to adjust your WebGrabPlus sincroguia.tv.ini file like this:

starrating.modify {addend('starrating' not="")|/5}

Maybe you need this if Tvheadend wants 10 as maximum:

starrating.modify {calculate(not "" format=F1)|'starrating' 2 *}
starrating.modify {addend('starrating' not="")|/10}

I have IMDb ratings in my XMLTV files like this:

    <star-rating>
      <value>6.1/10</value>
    </star-rating>

And it shows fine in Tvheadned webui.

Sometimes you have to start with clean EPG db in Tvheadend to see the changes in XMLTV files.
