How do I compile xmltv plugin?

[owilsky]

Hi,

I made a quick hack on show.java because I often have episodes in a series that does not have a sub-title and I want to consider the description in order to recognize re-runs. Only if it does not have a description the time should be considered:

  CRC32 crc = new CRC32();
  if (this.title != null)       crc.update(this.title.getBytes());
  if (this.episodeName != null) crc.update(this.episodeName.getBytes());
  if (this.desc != null) crc.update(this.desc.getBytes());

  if ( (this.title == null) && (this.episodeName == null) && (this.desc == null) 
             && (this.startString != null) )
            crc.update(this.startString.getBytes());

I am not a real Java freak, could anybody please tell me how to compile that class?

I did a "javac show.java", but got this error:

Show.java:73:
 cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : class Channel
location: class xmltv.Show
    public void setChannel(Channel chan) {
                           ^
Show.java:149
: package sage does not exist
    public void EPGInsert(sage.EPGDBPublic epg) {
                              ^
2 errors

I guess that I need to copy something into the folder of show.java, but what?

Thanks,

Oliver

is nobody able to tell me how to compile that plugin?

Assuming current working directory is SageTV directory
Assuming xmltv plugin source files are in ./xmltv

javac -classpath .;Sage.jar xmltv/Channel.java xmltv/Show.java xmltv/XMLTVImportPlugin.java

should recompile everything in dependancy order. (disclaimer: I don't use javac -- but it should point you in the right direction). The reason you should not be in the xmltv source directory is so that the compiler can find dependant classes in the xmltv subdirectory (hence the error above about channel.class) and the classpath needs to include sage.jar to include the sage interface classes.

Thanks, the classpath argument was the clue, it works now!

Thanks again,
