PaulMc has just pointed out a new Windows based grabber for the UK that will grab its listings from bleb.org. You can download it from http://www.rubiconsystems.com/tv/grabepg.zip

Cool! Quick!

Lackng a little automation...

Anyone got any ideas?

I'm downloading from bleb, specifying XMLTV format and it imports perfectly into GBPVR without having to do any reformating or anything.

I've got a batch file with the following line in it:

explorer "http://www.bleb.org/tv/data/listings?day...MLTV"

It provides a zip file with an XMLTV file in it.

Can you tell me alittle more about what you are looking for?

The idea was to provide an interface to the bleb.org data.  It also unzips the file after downloading.

If it useful and people suggest ideas then I'll improve the program.

I have updated the program with command line parameters to allow it to run without the GUI.  The included readme.txt describes the changes.

You work nearly as quickly as Sub

Thanks Paul, thats really useful now I can have a button which fetches the data, and loads it into GBPRV completely non interactively.

Paul> Sorry, been offline for AGES!

Thats exactly what I was looking for. I set up a schedule to run every night, it downloads, GBPVR updates and the guide is always upto date. No clicks, programs or fiddling.

Life is good again!
