Sorry I don't agree with the mp3 file explanation. I have the epg loader working fine with several wav files. ie 24 series ... Are you sure the file location is correct ?

Yes, but if a .wav or .mid file is found, I get a message that a file u32Prod.dll is not installed. No real problem, I just point the sound file to a wrong directory. That way nothing happens, not even an error message, and I keep the reminder for when the problem is solved.

By the way, the .wav and .mid files do play when I activate them in Windows Explorer.

Xyrano,

Great Idea, but I just cant get it to work.

I have got as far as the title & the links section showing but no EPG. If I fiddle around I gennerally get a 404 error.

So far I am only tryng this on on title. I have copied the HTML from the notes section and saved it as 043396114906.html in C:\Documents and Settings\Windows User\Application Data\DVD Profiler\EPG where the images also live.

Here's  my code

// TV Episode Guide Storage Location (EPGSL)
var pathToEpGStorage = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Windows User\\Application Data\\DVD Profiler\\EPG\\"; // <-- SET

// filename
var fileNamePrefix = "epg-"; // <-- SET
var excludeLocality = "true"; // <-- SET true/false
var fileNameSuffix = ".html"; // <-- SET .htm/.html

// TAGS
var tagName = ""; // <-- SET
var useFooterTagName = ""; // <-- SET

var useNotes = true; // <-- SET true/false
var useNotesFilename = true; // <-- SET true/false
var useTagName = true; // <-- SET true/false
var useTheIFrame = true; // <-- SET true/false
var useTheFooter = true; // <-- SET true/false
var tryLoadEPGAnyway = false; // <-- SET true/false

// error messages
var errUPCFilename = "Get UPC filename, but no file. 404";
var errNoteUPC = "Notes say get UPC Filename, but no file. 404";
var errNoteFilename = "Notes say Filename, but no file. 404";
var errTagMessage = "Tag say EPG, but no file. 404";
var errIFrameMessage = "No TV Episode Guide available!";

// Some variables for the footer.
var epgURLSource = "epg.dvdaholic.me.uk";
var epgURLSourceSearch = "?letter=";

in the notes section of DVD Profiler I have <![epgfn=043396114906.html]>

My Episode Guide Tab states note says filename, but no file .404

Any ideas how to get it to work?

Thanks

Big Al

Big Al: Did you get it to work?

What am I doing wrong?

Here is how to get this episode guide to work with ease.

Step 1.
Create a folder for the images named epg.

Go to...

C:\Program Files\Intervocative Software\DVD Profiler

and make a new folder naming it epg

insert all images (and midi if available) from this zip file into the newly created epg folder.

Step 2.
Please ensure that in dvdprofiler you have enabled html in notes...

Tools->Options->Display and check Use HTML for notes

Step 3.
Go to the profile of the TV Show you just downloaded this episode guide for and then go to ther personalize option. Copy the text file from this zip file and paste it into the notes box. Click ok.

Step 4.
Enjoy your NEw Episode guide

Thank you for downloading my Episode guide.
Have a good day! :-)

Why does it show in Notes and not the EPG loader tab?

I have this in the code:
// -------- Configuration block - Start --------
// TV Episode Guide Storage Location (EPGSL)
var pathToEpGStorage ="C:\Documents and Settings\Randall Lind\My Documents\DVD Profiler\EPG"; // <-- SET

ok...  sorry I don't think he added how to do the EPG's on the site.

What you want to do is change the TXT to an HTML file (Renaming the file to epg-UPC Code.html) and store it in the epg folder too... change all img and sound locations to the epg folder.... and then depending on your setup either put <epg=1> in notes or check the epg tag for that profile

Randall_Lind: That is the way it was done in DVD Profiler 2.*. With DVD Profiler 3 there is new functionality that alow third party scripts to be used. The EPGL is such a script. Your short step tut and EPGL is not the same.

Actually, This EPGL was created to avoid using EPG's in the notes section, and to introduce additional functionality. Creating a tutorial about how to do it the old way, here, in this thread, should be avoided if possible. I would like to keep this thread on topic as it may be confusing information for others. Thanks!

I read your tutorial over and over again and it totally lost me when it got the the epg- part. RossRoy was the one that told me to use <![epgfn=filename]>

Sorry if I am doing it the old fashion way.
