I wrote up a small post when I saw it his the repositories yesterday :D Awesome work. Dialing out isn't working for me, however.

Just tried it for the first time,everything seems to be working fine including dialling the cinema directly.Liked the idea of searching near town you input.Excellent app thanks gilead.

Currently there is no possibility to choose the calendar. I will add a TODO to add some configuirabilty for it.

All data directly comes from the Google movie service and the software tires to present all data from it. But for some reason I do not know the information differes for different countries and cities. Usually up to 4 days are shown for each theater or movie. But this may be different for your location. Which city where you searching for? I will have a look what Google returns for it.

Thank you for that post.

One reason why a phone call may fail could be that my code translating a phone number from the google results into one that can be used by N900 is not fully correct. Did you try with different locations and theaters? Please send me your location and theater name. I will try myself.

I'm not sure what was happening now. I had a look on the google service for my city (Melbourne, Australia), and saw it returned 4 days of results. Then I tried MovieSchedule again and it's correctly pulling all 4 days in. :rolleyes: I wouldn't worry about this, it was probably a connection problem or something.

Re: [Announce ] MovieSchedule - find movies at cinemas near your town
 

@gilead; doesn't seems to work with any location and any theater I put in. What's the call you're using to initiate an outgoing dial?

Re: [Announce ] MovieSchedule - find movies at cinemas near your town
 

I use:


if (!QDBusConnection::systemBus().isConnected()) {
ShowError(tr("Unable to call theater by phone: communication bus not available."));
return;
}
QDBusInterface iface("com.nokia.csd.Call", "/com/nokia/csd/call", "com.nokia.csd.Call", QDBusConnection::systemBus());
if (!iface.isValid()) {
ShowError(tr("Unable to call theater by phone: phone service not available."));
return;
}
QString phone_number = TrimPhoneNumber(cinema.GetTelephone());
QDBusReply<QDBusObjectPath> reply = iface.call("CreateWith", phone_number, 0);
if (!reply.isValid()) {
std::cout << qPrintable(reply.error().message()) << ": <" << qPrintable(phone_number) << ">" << std::endl;
ShowError(tr("Unable to call theater by phone: call failed."));
return;
}

The last call (iface.call) is failing for you. I don't know why - I assume TrimPhoneNumber() does not the right thing. Please send me some locations and theater names you tried. I would like to see if the phone numbers are correctly trimmed.

Regards, Jochen

@hawaii: you may also start the application from the terminal. Then send me a quote of the console output - failing phone calls should print some error message and the trimmed phone number (as you see I do not trust this feature yet, so I left this debugging output for now).

Great app!!!

I can't call a theater (fyi: I am based in Toronto - Canada): I get the error message "Unable to call theater by phone: call failed".

One very minor issue: how to delete misspelled locations in the location list. E.g. I have now "Toro" and "Toronto" in the list. How to delete "Toro"?

Great application so far!
I have already added one feature request to the Garage: https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/ind...1781&atid=6213
Is it possible to add this?
