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

What plugin(s) do you think that is causing the problem?

These are the only ones currently that I am using in the skin:


X,Motionlock
X,Milage
X,RRMEDIADB
X,MOVIETIMES

i'm not sure which are causing the problem specifically... the only other plugin i had activated was my trafficmapsplus plugin. And i cant find ANYTHING within the code that would make one plugin not work with the other. No variables are the same no indicators.. nothing. If i remove the indicator function from trafficmapsplus both plugins work fine. I'll have to speak to guino about the conflict.

BTW did you catch the question about how to handle the custom list split for the movie details. I've done it with "." as the delimiter and it looks a bit funky.



OT... i've added a label for the address of the theater... in doing this i noticed that some theatres (mostly the run down ones or ones playing random *** films) dont have addresses listed with yahoo. There wont be a navigation solution for those i'm afraid

To access this plugin once i download it and register the dill I will need to move the skin files to my skin folder and edit the skin to have a button for movie times right. Sorry for asking here but there isn't really a topic on how to set up plugins that I could find.

download the rar.. unzip the folder to rr's root path
-register the .dll
-move skin files to your skin's folder
-open the menu.skin in your skin folder and add the line x,movietimes
-change a button on the skin to run the command "MOVIETIMES"

Hopefully it will work (This is how it would look in the exectbl.ini)

Code:

"MOVIEZIP","NUMOSKTOCMD;YourVar;VarSettings||MOVIETIMES"

this did the trick

Code:

SDK.execute ("NUMOSKTOCMD;MOVIEZIP;MOVIETIMES")

thanks for your help on that!

Cool! glad to hear that worked ok. I have used that in quite a few things to handle information entered in the OSK and the NumOSK after ENTER is pressed.

OK, I'm trying this out, but I don't seem to be getting anything.

ir it just sits there saying "Getting movie listings"

now in RR's debug file I have

so it seems to be picking out the cinemas (used johns zip code from his screenshot as my post code won't work ), but it doesn't seem to create that txt file that it is supposed to be putting the info in. Further move, when I created that file manually in then got deleted.

I am running no other plugins.

Any ideas (apart my suspicion that it is something to do with hardcoded paths or drives maybe?)

i dont see anything in the debug that is outta the ordinary. and as long as the path defined in the CLSAVE command is legit that shouldnt be the issue either. There arent any hard coded paths in this, every path is created/accessed by the rrpath label. i have done some changes to the way the custom list is handled.. maybe the new version will work better for you. I should be releasing it tomorrow depending on if i can find any other bugs to kill

I'll see if I can try it on my home PC later today, that has normal paths and is not run off a USB stick
