Hi !

I wrote a small plugin for renaming movies, but it is more a kind of example then a real plugin - if you want to give it try see attachment and don't be dissapointed

Press video and then Menu when the Movie is selected, as you are used to to delete a movie and there rename should show up

gutemine ist einfach schon ein altes Mädchen

Das plugin sollte eigentlich schon so halbwegs funktionieren, aber es gibt 2 arten zu renamen - in einer wird nur der name im metafile geändert, so denke ich wäre es auch im CVS schnell zu machen - vieleicht gibt sich ja jemand mal einen Stoss - ich habs extra nur in python gemacht und die 10 codezeilen können nicht zu viele bugs haben

Die andere variante umbenennt auch alle Files, und das ist einfach noch nicht 100%ig implelementiert.

Was auch nicht geht ist reine *.ts files ohne *.meta umzubenenennen die man aus enigma1 Zeiten übernommen hat oder von DVD oder ähnlichem erstellt hat. Dafür gibt es aber ein metagen.sh script (musst aber woanders danach suchen)

Wäre zwar alles nicht schwer zu machen, ABER ich hab das damals eigentlich nur für jemanden gemacht der es unbedingt haben wollte und als Beispiel wie man die extension der Movieliste verwenden kann um sich dort mit einem Plugin einzuklinken.

Also nicht böse sein wenn es nicht 100%ig funktioniert, und fallt nicht wieder über mich her wenn es nur etwas unfertig ist. Ijhr könnt es gerne erweiternd und entsprechend anpassen an Eure Bedürfnisse, so viel sourcecode ist es ja nicht und ich habe versucht brav zu sein und nichts im enigma2 kaputt zu machen oder zu verbiegen

Ich persönlich benutze es auch nur ab und zu um Aufnahmen von Sendern die keinen EPG ausstrahlen (ja sowas gibt es auch noch) in was sinvolles umzubenenen.

short english version:
--------------------------

There are 2 ways of renaming in the plugin one just updates the name in the meat file, the second renames also all files. And renam of plain ts files without meta files is currently not supprted, sorry. The plugin was simply done as an example on how to extend the video menu, not as a fully featured Movie renaming Plugin. Feel freey to optimize and extend it

Well, a Class model would be fine, but I don't think you will find one - even in DMM office building - correct me if I'm wrong

But the Pythons normally have relatively speaking names so a simple grep class *.py of the right py files(s) gives you a quick answer of what could be relevant and then it is not difficulet ot guess from the names which one would be usefull to import/use in your code. So i think the programmers at DMM have done a pretty good job and I laways try (!) not do do too much harm to their code

BTW I now understand your problem - the code in my Plugin' uses simply python string replace (Q&D I know) for moving in the new string, which will not work in this case.

But changing this so that the name is always put at the right line of the string variable would be relative easy - because name and description are always at 2nd and 3rd line in the metafile which is easyto adress within the string array I use to read in the meta file content.

So if you know only a 'little' bit of python (which could be more then what i know to be honest) this should be easy to adapt.

If you are really "motivated" feel free to optimze the code, and create a new version out of it.

PS: I could even post you the 2 scripts needed to build the ipk out of it on the Dreambox itself, so that you don't need to have a full development environment to work on this extension.

Because I simply don't plan to continue work on this issue/plugin, but if it is an inspiration and you wanna continue this path you are welcome.

PS: And I was tempted to use this as avatar, but then dropped the idea

Hi !

Attached is the kitbuilder environment for the renamemovie plugin (it is just so big because of the ar binary, because ar from busybox doesn't allow create of ar files needed for ipk kits)

Simply FTP it to your Dreambox at /tmp
then type the following:

bunzip2 /tmp/rename*
tar -xvf /tmp/rename*

This will create all you need at /media/hdd/renamemovie

If you then have my renamemovie plugin installed and changed the code to your needs you just need to execute 2 scripts and modify the control file to tell it that is a newer version:

cd /media/hdd/renamemovie
eni*.sh

This script will simply copy the plugin into the enigma2-plugin-extensions-renamemovie subdirectory from which the ipk kit is built.

You then could go to the enigma2-plugin-extensions-renamemovie subidrectory and then in the CONTROL subdirectory and change the control file (your contact infos, new version number,...)

Then you go back to the renamemovie directory and do:

ipkg-build enigma2-plugin-extensions-renamemovie

This will then build the new en*.ipk file for you in this directory which is installable with ipkg install as usual.

Have fun creating a Version 3.0, and I'm looking forward to test it !

PS: I develop 9*% of my stuff directly on the Dreambox 7025 (including Compiling C programms), my OE on the Linux PC is mainly for reference purpose and download and/or bitbake the stuff which is already integrated into the OE - but I'm just a bad example and not a real developer

PPS: I added my normal avatar - believe me it is better this way

well, I never learnt/understood python either

After some time you simple don't complain anymore why some things are so strange (- sorry 'different')...

As long as you just change/copy existing stuff and do simple changes it is more then sufficient if you have a generic understanding how a programming language works, the rest you can find easily by Google and on the python online documentation.

But I agree that a proper preparation is probably the better approach and as I already said I'm just a bad example on how to do things, but I simply don't care too much either, because it is something I do as a hobby and enjoy more then putting ships in bottles or getting liquor out of them

Have you cosidered using Menu Fantastic Plugin as pythonwrapper for your shell commands/bianries ?

It is realtively easy to use and If you have special needs on the argument passing I could even Implement it for you.

And it was designed for old script kiddies lieke me who just want to call shellscripts and binaries from a nice enigma2 menu interface

There are lots of sample menus and scripts included, and with the explaination in the readme.txt you should be able to find your way.
