Alt categories processor

[alanbirtles]

I have developed a processor which will change program categories, save the following script to
scripts\uk_rt\ukrt_altcats.lua

Code: Select all

require("XGUI_Lib")

--map from category name to another one
local CatRemap={
		{From="Film",To="Movie"},
		}

--change category of specific programs on specific channels
local ChanCatRemap={
		{Channels={"92"},Map={
			{Progs={"EastEnders"},Cat="Soap"},
			{Progs={"Planet Earth"},Cat="Documentary, Nature"},
			}
		},
		{Channels={"1959","1972"},Map={
			{Progs={"Curb Your Enthusiasm"},Cat="Sitcom"},
			}
		},
	}

local function Pass1Func(proc,program)
	local chid,cat,name,i,j,k,n,m,o,chanmatch
	XGUI.SetStatus(2,"Processing "..XGUI_Lib.XS.Val(program.Title))
	chid=program.Channel
	if program.Category then
		cat=XGUI_Lib.XS.Val(program.Category)
		else 
			cat="No Category"	
		end
	if program.Title then
		name=XGUI_Lib.XS.Val(program.Title)
		else 
			name="No Name"	
		end
	n=table.getn(CatRemap)
	for i=1,n do
		if cat==CatRemap[i].From then
			program.Category=XGUI_Lib.XS.Add(CatRemap[i].To,program.Category)
			return program
			end
		end
	n=table.getn(ChanCatRemap)
	for i=1,n do
		chanmatch=false
		m=table.getn(ChanCatRemap[i].Channels)
		for j=1,m do
			if ChanCatRemap[i].Channels[j]==chid then
				chanmatch=true
				break
				end
			end
		if chanmatch then
			m=table.getn(ChanCatRemap[i].Map)
			for j=1,m do
				o=table.getn(ChanCatRemap[i].Map[j].Progs)
				for k=1,m do
					if name==ChanCatRemap[i].Map[j].Progs[k] then
						program.Category=XGUI_Lib.XS.Add(ChanCatRemap[i].Map[j].Cat,program.Category)
						return program
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end
	return program
	end

PostProcs.UK_RT_Alt_Cat={
	Name = "UK - Radio Times Category Mapper",
	Version = "1.00.00",
	Author = "Alan Birtles",
	InfoURL = "http://www.birtles.org.uk/xmltv/wiki/index.php?title=UK_RT_Alt_Cat",
	Grabber = "UK_RT",
	Passes={
		Pass1={
			Type=XGUI.PassTypes.Program,
			Func=Pass1Func,
			},
		},
	}

the part you will need to modify are the two tables at the top of the script,
"CatRemap" controls mapping from one category to another, simply add new lines to the table in the same form as the existing one
"ChanCatRemap" remaps the category of specific programs on specific channels,
Channels is a list of channels that the table applies to (RT channel ids),
Map is the table which controls the mapping,
Progs is a list of program titles to change the categories of,
Cat is the new category for the program.
The tables in the above script will have the following effects:

• Change the category of films to "Movie"
  for programs on bbc1:
  • Change the category of eastenders to "Soap"
    Change the category of planet earth to "Documentary, Nature"
  for programs on more4/more4+1
  • Change the category of curb your enthusiasm to "Sitcom"
