EPG support for Australia???

Doh! I actually missed that. I saw the requirements in the link you posted. I don't know how complete your xml serializer is but there is one included with my MceEpg2XmlTv utility. All fields are strongtyped and it makes extremely fast work of reading and writing xmltv files.

Hi whurlston!

Nice to see GB-PVR has such a good stable of active developers

Your MceEpg2XmlTv utility and other utilities look great! We (epgStream.net) are starting to slowly release all our own internal tools to help Media Center users survive in the future, long after we're gone. We have our own internal releases that are similar to your ???Epg2XmlTv and ???EpgDownloader tools (which we use for testing) but they are last on our list to scrub and make public ... But now that I've seen your versions are available, we might not even have to release them!


Thanks,

The downloader could use recoding. I completely recoded the converter recently and it is about as efficient as it can be but the downloader could use some work. If you are interested in cleaning it up or incorporating it with the converter, let me know.

It's probably easier for us just to release our own download component than refactor code, but if yours already works, then who really cares what it looks like on the inside!

Oh, do you think you might have a use for our low-level xmltvAlter tool? Or is there already something similar on this forum?

It works which is why it wasn't a high priority to recode it. I was just thinking more along the lines of making it more user friendly.

I used to have some of those features in the MCE converter but they are not in the latest version because UltraXMLTV has similar features. There are definitely a couple of features that some people around here could use though.

Sorry, this will be me last "off-topic post" in this thread! :o

xmltvDownload and xmltvAlter really has been designed as a generic XMLTV tool that can be called by other applications or batch files. Originally we had very large programs which did all our server processing, but these applications were too specific to our server guide processing. After we started to break down the function components into individual "tools" we could start sharing them out with other users. Now we have simpler controller software which calls our tools.

Back "on-topic" ...

Just so nobody is confused as to what epgStream.net offers:

Hey Guys!

We've release xmltvDownload v0.99.37 which includes the ability to change channel DISPLAY-NAME properties and adjust channel times (to counter time zone issues).

Enjoy
