:p

the comments about modifying my skin were more for myself... but could be a suggestion, you might want to add something to the default skin to indicate that more information can be had by pressing up/down. I would consider myself pretty good at figuring things out, but I didnt figure that out until you said it here. however I will admit that I dont usually read the "instructions" for simple stuff like how to navigate the UI, but IMHO the UI should be intuitive enough that you dont need instructions :p

Quote:also, it looks like movie description is getting downloaded from IMDB properly now

You said this in an earlier post. What problems are you having?

you are definitely not clearing whatever data structure you are using to store the listings for the theaters

here is some choice clips from showings.xml to demonstrate

see how they get added, and if the film is being shown in both theaters the showtimes get tacked onto the end of the list as well

hope this helps

those problems with fetching the times still exist... the description is getting downloaded fine... the times are still messed up

sorry for the confusion
