Thread: Movie Listings... Coming to an RR near you!

Thanks for the update. I noticed no info in the skin Commands.txt about monietimeslat or movietimeslon. Will play with it tonight. Thanks again for the AU3. FreeDrive probably won't need it. Based on other experience, I think replacing this button code in movietimes_info.skin

Code:

B06,408,510,259,81,"MOVIENAVIGATE","Select"

with this

Code:

???????????????????????????????????

should do it.

Like I said I should have time tonight to put it on the CarPC and run out and test it.

Great plug-in, thanks.

Edit: MOVIETIMESLAT & MOVIETIMESLONG are empty variables on my system.

it also says nothing about the GETMOVIEART command that gets movie art on movietimes.skin by use of the ONCLLISTCLICK events. I'll have to fix this

O.K. the above doesn't work. I tried using MOVIETIMESLONG and MOVIETIMESLAT as labels also but there was never anything shown. I know I saw someones skin less than a month ago that had coordinates included on the movie_info screen but I don't remember whose it was. So I'm back to square one. First, how is the data retrieved? At what point is the data available for use as a label? How do I know when the data is not available? (I remember you said something about data not parsed for some theatres, but most of the ones I'm looking at have full addresses on the info screen so I assume the addressed just aren't getting converted to coordinates ). Any help would be appreciated.

Wow Sonic! You have outdone yourself! This is definitely a full featured plugin! For some reason, the poster art has started working for me with the latest release (Screen Cap 2 below). I had not changed anything in the skin or files, just updated the dll.

I did fine one SMALL oversight however, sorry. When you are in the main listing, and highlight a theater, the "MOVIETHEATERNAME" is updated as you select something. This is not working for the "FAVTHEATERS" list as of yet. (As seen in capture #1 below) I am sure this is due to the fact that you just added in the code for the favorites, and just did not add the code to update the label.

Now one other SMALL request hahha.... Is there a way to make it default to the favorites, then you can change the zipcode if you want. I would think most would use the favorites more so than the zipcode as a dedault.... I tried "MOVIETIMES||FAVTHEATERS" but when the plugin loads, it reverts back to the main list, only flickering the favorites for a brief second..

I know it is a pain to scrape sites to get information and display it. I have been doing this for a long time with my Home Automation system. Getting info such as stocks, news headlines, weather forecasts and the likes. Then when the page is change, even slightly, it breaks and has to be tweaked.

Fantastic work on this plugin!



EDIT: I just noticed that the MOVIEDOWNLOADDATE and the MOVIEDOWNLOADTIME are not displaying in the labels with the latest version.

Double Edit: After reloading RR a few times, and playing around the date and time labels filled in. Not sure what was causing it..

yes i did forget to fix that label. Will get on that right away so i dont forget. I think what i'll do for favorites to default is create a "MOVIETIMESFAVORITES" command instead of making a skin.ini option. running this command will load movietimes.skin and the favorites list.

Sounds good. With all that you have added, I really cant see anything else needed. It's working great!!
