Advanced event library


Plugin for using images and extra data in skins.
Please only install if your skin supports the library or if you want to and can skin yourself!
The library provides for Skinner Converter and Renderer in order to be able to display pictures and extended program and film information in the skin.


Functionality:
The library, which is started by defined task or manually, searches the current EPG, the VTIDB as well as all .m.e.t.a, .ts, .mkv, .avi and .mpg files of your recording directory and searches for these events on TV-Movie, TMDb, TVDb, OMDB, maze.tv and altersfreigaben.de for posters and backdrops and stores them permanently on the HDD, USB or NAS. In addition, a separate database is created in which the genre, year of publication, rating, FSK approval and country are saved. A prerequisite for a high and good hit rate is always a current EPG on the box, regardless of whether it is updated by EPGShare, EPGRefresh or in other ways.


Starting options of the plugin:
Extension menu
Define an FB key with MultiQuickButton
Assignment of a color key in the MovieList
Using the EPG button in the EPGSelection (adjustable in the plugin)
Settings in the plugin: "Data directory (press OK)" - Selection of the storage location of the pictures and the DB
"Maximum storage space (GB)" - Setting the maximum storage space to be used. There is a counter in the DB that counts the number of views of each saved image. If the memory requirement is exceeded, the images that were least displayed are always deleted.
"Number of preview images in the editor" - Number of preview images for posters and covers in the editor
"Quality of the posters in the editor" - resolution of the posters downloaded by the editor.
"Quality of the covers in the editor" "- resolution of the covers downloaded by the editor.
"use EPG key in EPGSelection to call the plugin" - this enables the plugin to be started in EPGSelection to e.g. edit missing or wrong entries.
Please be careful when choosing "original" for the quality of posters and covers! The images can be several megabytes in size. If such images are assigned to programs or recordings, there may be delays in loading the images.


Operation of the plugin:
Red button - Exit the plugin and return to the previous screen
Green button - save the settings made in the setup and restart the box
Yellow button - start of a manual search
Blue button - Opens the editor for the current event
Exit button - Exit the plugin and return to the previous screen
Menu key - Opens a selection menu with the following actions
'Delete entry' - deletes the current entry from the DB, images are retained, the entry may be requested again during the next search, insofar as it is available in the EPG or as a recording.
'Delete entry and put on blacklist' - deletes the current entry from the DB, images are retained, the entry is no longer requested during a search.
'Delete poster' - deletes an existing poster
'Delete cover' - deletes an existing cover
'Delete thumbnails' - deletes all preview images (useful if the skin used has defined a different size of the images)
'Delete BlackList' - deletes the entire blacklist of the DB. All entries will be requested again during the next search, insofar as they are available in the EPG or as a recording.
'create EPG share default image' - only for FluidNext users and installed EPGShare! Generates an EPGShare default image from an existing cover for use with FluidNext.
Operating the editor: The editor is used for the manual search of pictures and event information or for the manual editing of incorrect or incomplete entries. Red button - Accept the data and close the editor. If the event is an existing recording and there is no .eit or .m.e.t.a file, a. m.e.t.a and a .txt file with the information is created, which can be displayed in the MovieList or MoviPlayer. Green button - activate the editor. Here genre, country, year of publication, rating and FSK can be edited manually. Clicking OK under "Search EventName" opens the virtual keyboard with which the event name can be adapted or simply searched again. The search text can also include the year for better results to obtain . (Example: "Illuminat (2009)") After confirming OK all results are listed that match the search query. After selecting the correct entry, the data is transferred to the editor and the images may be reloaded. Yellow button - activate the poster selection. The selected poster is accepted by pressing OK. Blue button - activates the cover selection. The selected cover is accepted by pressing OK.

Fixed display errors in the planners
Key assignment green / blue - Timer / switching swapped in the planners
kexmap.xml taken from @schomi
Converter AdvancedEventLibraryNextEvents now also works in the IB and SIB. with source = "session.extEvent_Now"
Timers that are created in the planners are only created after confirmation in the timer editor.
The event lists of the planners remain at the current position after creating a timer and do not jump back to position 1.
Font colors of all AEL EPG lists can be defined via color definition in the skin 

without definition, the font color is always #FFFFFF.

NEW backup function can be performed via the menu button in the plugin or as a separate task.

Plugin Advanced Event Library 1.0 r120

New:
Used inodes of the AEL storage medium are displayed in the AEL menu (after the first search after the update)
The maximum percentage of inodes used can be specified in the setup to trigger the deletion of images.
TV feature film is used as an additional source for extra data, thumbnails and trailers




Trailers are now available in the following screens: (after the next search)
-AEL MediaHub
-AEL Channel Selection
-AEL-SimpleMovieWall
-AEL PrimeTimePlaner
-AEL Series Starts Planner
-AEL Favorite Planner
-EPGSelection
-EPGSelectionBar_HD
-Eventview


In each of the screens mentioned there is a trailer symbol which signals an existing trailer and plays it when you click the Play button.
You will not save the trailers as such, only a link to them is kept in the DB.


Caution!
If you use a skin part for the screens mentioned, you need an update for this part so that the display of an available trailer works! However, playback is independent of this.


To TV feature film:
The prerequisite is that all channels that you want to search are entered with their channel reference and the associated TV movie ID in the file tvsreflist.data, which is located in the plug-in directory.
In the test group, we have already included the main transmitter references and the associated ID, but this does not mean that this is already complete!
If your station has not yet been recorded, you will find entries in the log file after a search, such as:
21:30:15: [AdvancedEventLibrary] - Boomerang with the reference 1: 0: 16: 1C: 3: 85: C00000: 0: 0: 0: could not be found in the TVS reference list!
If you have such entries, please post here so that I can include them and publish them here in an accessible manner for everyone.


After the update, please check the settings for loading preview images and, if necessary, adjust them according to your wishes

Thx @tsiegel

Plugin Advanced Event Library 1.0 r122

- Fix of the reported crash in the MediaHub
- Fix incorrect display of the trailer symbol when calling the Eventview for recordings without .eit files
- Reference list for TV feature films expanded for cable network users
For the cable network users, I have recorded most of the main channels, the rest will follow later.
Attention, if you have already modified your tvsreflist.data yourself, please make a backup beforehand, as it will be overwritten by the installation!

Thx @tsiegel

[dreams@t]

Plugin Advanced Event Library 1.0 r123

- FIX for images with "BL"
- Possible to switch off the automatic creation of me.ta files for recordings in the setup
- It is possible to switch off the update of the MovieWall data during the search in the setup
- The user can create the reference list for a TV feature film himself.

Since the effort for maintaining the tvsrefList is too great for me, I didn't think that there would always be so many changes to the references, so I included it in the setup.
In the settings, press the "Yellow" button to get to the TV feature film setup. All channels that you have included in the search settings are listed there. By pressing OK, a choice box opens from which you can assign the correct TVS ID to the station. Of course, great care must be taken here, since assigning an incorrect ID can lead to incorrect extra data.

Thx @Tsiegle
