Python exportmetadata binding needing an inetref, but none is available in V34

Sep 13, 2023, 2:22 PM

Post #1 of 6 (201 views)

As indicated, I have some video that has no inetref, and won’t have one, but there is some already available from the schedules direct including season, episode, description, and others.

However when I use the mythvidexport.py script, an exception occurs because there is no inetref for the video and fails. This used to work when I was running V32.

Is there a flag, or way to get exportmetadata to work ? I don’t care about exporting artwork as there isn’t any available for the video I am exporting.

OR do I need to get all the metadata and export manually now with V34?

Regards!

Jay

Yes I did, in fact, I am the author of it(well along with Wagners original that it was modified from)! The problem however lies in the MythTV python binding it uses to export the meta data as mentioned in my earlier email.

BTW, I had no success in trying the mythvidexport2.py script from the wiki.
Running it in manual mode by providing 'chanid' and 'starttime' I got this
exception:

File ".../master/mythvidexport2.py", line 109, in get_format
self.hr = "%02d" % self.starttime.hour
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'hour'

I will try that out, thanks!

The way I am using the script is to call it from a Job. And self.starttime is copied directly from the job start time which has the
Mmm dd yyyy hh mm ss defined from the start time object in Job.

I confess to never having tested the script using just the start time and channel id from the command line.

Oops, Adding that to my todo list!

If it is in the job queue and you use the job queue id, it will work correctly on the cmd line as follows:

/usr/local/bin/mythvidexport.py --listingonly 88546. ## where 88546 is a job id from job queue
