Scripting

How to make a script for XMM
Example: FILMTV.IT

1. Set the script’s description for information purposes (no execution)

5. Set global variables to their values (#SETVARIABLES#)
    #PUT#=0#00#

6. Check if the search term is already a valid link (#RIGHTPAGEFOUND#) for updating an already imported movie

7. Read the list of movies that match the search term (#CREATEMOVIELIST#) and output them this way:
    #WRITETITLELIST#=webaddress    ---> Title [more info if wanted]  §Link to Cover

8. Preload subpages for later use (#LOADWEBSLOTS#) if needed
    #OPENWEBSLOT1#=#03#
    #LOADWEBSLOT1#
    … script code …
    #RESTOREMAIN#
Alternatively use #OPENNEWWEB# … #RESTOREWEB# in other blocks

9. Get all the info of a movie (different blocks)
    See http://www.binaryworks.it/cgi-bin/data/wiki/doku.php?id=programmer_s_guide

10. Special blocks for removing/replacing HTML code constants
#DELETETAGS# #61664; remove phrases from a variable #61664; #DELETEWORD#=Top 250: 
#SUBSTITUTETAGS# #61664; replace HTML code #61664; #SUBSTITUTEWORD#=±=±
#SUBSTITUTEWEBQUERY# #61664; replace HTML code in WEBQUERY’s search term #61664; #SUBSTITUTEWEBQUERYWORD#=#=%23

11. Important commands to set, save or get saved positions (line / cursor)
#COMPUTECURSOR#=+/- value #61664; set the cursor position relatively to it’s current position
#RESETCURSOR# #61664; set cursor to the start of the line
#STARTREADWEB# #61664; set line and cursor to the start
#PUTCURSOR#=#01# #61664; save the cursor position to a variable
#LOADCURSOR#=#01# #61664; reload the cursor position
#SAVEWEBSITELINE# #61664; save the actual websiteline (No variable used)
#RESTOREWEBSITELINE# #61664; reload the actual websiteline (No variable used)

12. Special commands
Search a phrase in the loaded HTML of the website
#FIND#=text#01# #61664; find next occurrence of text in current website line and store the cursor position in variable
#FINDPREVIOUS#=text#01# #61664; find previous occurrence of text in current website line and store the cursor position in variable
#FINDLINE#=text#01# #61664; find next occurrence of text in website lines and store the cursor position in variable
#FINDPREVIOUSLINE#=text#01# #61664; find previous occurrence of text in website lines and store the cursor position in variable
#READNEXTLINE# #61664; read next line of website or
#READNEXTLINE#=2 #61664; read 2 lines of website
#TAKEWORD#=#13#,#01#,#02# #61664; store website line from position 1 to position 2 in variable 13
#CHECKVARIABLE#=#13# #61664; perform replacements on variable #61664; #STARTSUBSTITUTETAGS#, #STARTDELETETAGS#, #CLEARTAGS#, #TRIM#
#STRING#=#13#=text #61664; combine text and/or variable (or multiple phrases)
#PUT#=0#13# #61664; fill a variable with an alphanumerical value

13. Loops and conditions
    #IF# #01#==#02# // ==, <<, >>
    … code or #GOTO#=LABEL // continue with code line :LABEL
    #ENDIF#

    #REPEAT#
    … code …
    #WHILE# #01#==#02#

Use only one condition of the same kind (do not nest them).
You can combine both #IF# and #REPEAT#

14. Take info (different commands)
    See http://www.binaryworks.it/cgi-bin/data/wiki/doku.php?id=programmer_s_guide

15. There are a few more commands but in 99% of all cases you need only the above mentioned.

16. For scripting use either the MagicScript Editor or the ScriptDebugger.
MagicScript Editor is the internal one
ScriptDebugger is a plugin and behaves under rare conditions slightly different but is much more comfortable

From which site do you wanna grab the data?
I know that some sites can't be scraped (with XMM) like TheTVdb. On others you have to change the https: to simple http: to be automatically redirected. And on some sites the https: works like a charme.
Therefore I can't give you a trick that will work everytime.
For release 10 I have written an additional downloader as plugin that was accepted by XMM's MagicScript Engine...

thx Dommy
I always have the problem that request will be aborted (error message: request aborted: no secured SSL/TLS channel can be created
do you know this problem and how to solve it ?
JDommi Posted - 14 Jun 2020 : 22:25:51
Of course. Nothinh has changed on the script engine.
o.baum Posted - 14 Jun 2020 : 21:25:45
Is this template still valid for xmm 10 scripts?
