i dunno why but app.path gives me RRs path but not the dll path.. so i'm using $PLUGINSPATH$ instead

Maybe something diff with .net as App.Path works as E suggests in vb6.

I cant get movie navigate to run the movietimesnav.exe script. It opens the gps screen and that is as far as it gets.

Sonicxtacy02 · 12-13-2008, 04:25 PM

someone earlier in the thread posted a more accurate version of the nav script. Might want to try that one

That someone was me, I cant get it to run the script automatically when I use the movienavigate command.
It just calls the GPS rr command and stops. It doesnt even run the script.

do you have the address labels coded into your skin file? are they populated?

ThunderStick · 12-14-2008, 10:09 AM

Yes, what I did as a work around is I have RR run the script along with the movienavigate command in my button code.

PHP Code:


  
   
RUN;$SKINPATH$SCRIPTSmovietimesnav.exe||MOVIENAVIGATE

Running the script seperately works great, but movietimes will not run it on it's own.

a little bit of a problem.

i get theater and movie lists, but no details, and one of my theaters only says it has one movie playing.

yet if you are still pulling off m.yahoo it works there.

the only think i noticed was that my first theater doesnt have the "buy tickets" after it and maybe thats messing up your formating?

Are you referring to Grossmont? I see there's only one movie and no movietimes... but there's really nothing i can do about that one theater without breaking the code for all other theaters. As with all plugins like this that scrape data, the format needs to be consistant or problems like this will arise. Other than grossmont every other theater in that zip i tested is working fine.

On a side note, I don't remember MOVIENAVIGATE working with Freedrive. Did Enforcer ever write a script to send coordinates to Freedrive? Are there labels for gps coordinates in the current release? If so, what are they?

My Personal Edition of FreeDrive (see Sig), can accept the coords via a sendmsg.

recommended command string

GPS||SENDMSG;FreeDrive;gotoco:Lat:Lon"

ie

GPS||SENDMSG;FreeDrive;gotoco:51.3456:-0.1234"

84RegalRider · 12-18-2008, 05:55 PM

Thanks for looking.
use to work fine but im guessing since you cant buy tickets now thats killed the formating.

didnt know if i would be easy to look for the buy tag and just skip it if it wasnt there. if-else statement.

not really bugged by it at the moment to reinvent the wheel.
ill just wait it out a bit longer and hope grossmont starts offering tickets again. They just sold to another company so that might be the prob.

thanks for the great app anyways.

I remember that, but how do I get the selected theatre's GPS coords from the movietimes plugin?

Enforcer · 12-18-2008, 07:22 PM

Well the plugin doesn't have GPS coords for the theatres, just the ZIPCODE, so you would need a way to convert the ZIPCODE to GPS Coords. (or Sonic could add that to the plugin so it can provide the Lat and Lon labels)

Sonicxtacy02 · 12-19-2008, 09:01 AM

the coordinates arent available from the site i pull data from.. so i take the address and use geocaching to get an approximate but its very dependent on the geocaching data being correct and very hit or miss. i asked awhile back if anyone knew if a better geocaching site but noone replied
