Why is my Movie section identified as HomeVideo in 0.4?

[btilaf]

roidy, you did it!  :)

Thank you so much for your effort to solve my trouble.

I will do some more extensive testing but at first glance it looks great...

 

Now, I found something... When I choose my movie library and then

choose "more..." and then "by year" it uses "HomeVideo_Grid.xml".

I noticed this because I'm used to having columncount = "7" and "HomeVideo_Grid.xml" had columncount = "5".

 

It's not perfect but it is pretty damn close.

 

Once again, thank you.

Thank you.

I don't know if roidy considers this problem fixed yet, if so, please let me know and I will mark this problem aswered as is.

Once again, I dont think the solution is 100% as the movie library still uses a template from the HomeVideo category.

I'm still thankful though for the work roidy put in.

No, not completely fixed, I'm still working on this.

I think I have bumped into an issue related to this change. I have an "anime" section, which used to look the same as "tv shows" section, but now the "anime" section has no nav bar and instead "all shows, unwatched, on deck" and so forth, are all in a vertical list. In addition there are tons more of them appearing than expected.. things like "by first letter", "by genre", and so on.

Everything looks fine in tv shows section though.

I *think* the problem is that I am using a custom scraper (BABS), and this must be mucking with the category detection.

logs show:

20:39:24 WebServer: serving .xml: /library/sections/3
20:39:24 XMLConverter: PlexConnect Cmd: BABS
20:39:24 XMLConverter: PlexConnectChannelsSearch: 
20:39:24 PlexAPI: URL: http://x.x.x.x:32400/library/sections/3

This used to work as expected, but broke a few days ago when I did a fresh git pull.

EDIT: hacked up XMLConverter.py to add cmd=="BABS" to the same line that matches 'Plex_Series_Scanner', and now it is worked better. I am getting what appears to be a "phantom" blank cover in the 'on deck' area though, and when I click on it I get "trailers is unavailable. try again later". weird.

EDIT2: Turned off debug logging and the "ghost title" went away. ha!

Where do I get the "BABS" scanner so I can do some testing?

Edit: It requires a custom change further down in the thread to get it working.

I wonder if Roidy is still trying to resolve this issue as stated september 6th?

No, not completely fixed, I’m still working on this.

[roidy]

It’s still on my todo list… along with a million other things

Any progress? I dont want to be left behind on version 3.1 :( and miss out on any other fixes.

Thank you...
