Can I Pre-Process the xml Files?

[LewE]

I suspect the main reason is that SD does things differently than mc2xml. I can already see a huge problem with that.

Give me a bit...

Do you want a sample xmltv.xml file from Schedules Direct for your testing or do you already have enough of those?

So, right now, aside from me, who would you say is the biggest pain in your butt? New Foundland or Schedules Direct?

Actually just you!!!!

Here's a special version I made just for you. Don't worry, it won't blow anything up...

It has its indexes set for SD. I will be making this more felexible for different locales soon...

[LewE]

Actually just you!!!!

I don't see anyone else standing up for your fellow Newfies....

I'm trying the update now.

I just ran on version 26707 and it didn't seem to shift anything, either forward or back.

I've attached the offset file I used. Since both channels 37 and 38 were off I set one to plus 3 hours and the other to minus 3 hours to see which direction I wanted. Neither channel moved.

Sorry. I had downloaded it but somehow the copy to the Ultra directory didn't take place.

I am now testing with version 41971. Hopefully that is the right one.

It takes about 7 minutes to enhance the xml file plus another 3-6 minutes to update the EPG.

[LewE]

Version 41971 with the attached shift file did not move anything.

Any ideas? I'm willing to leave it for a while. I still have the TimeOffset program.

If you want to try something else just let me know.

Halifax is in Nova Scotia, not NewFoundland. Though I must admit, humbly, as a red necked westerner, I have made that mistake myself....

I can tell, that you did not delete all of the channel files form before. I'm sorry if I haven't been clear. But while I'm messing with the data, you have to start clean with those channel files

There's _Channel, blah blah and _Channel, blah... both files and any other Channel Blah blah file you have, delete them please...
