EPG Utility: YApi2XML (discontinued)

[qam1600]

Thanks for all of your hard work on this project! I am trying YApi2XML for the first time today. When I enter 30066 and click Get Providers, I get Run-time error '9': Subscript out of range, unfortunately.

qam1600, what version are you using? and can I get the log file?

I'll look into it as soon as I get home.

OZ,

Great job on the EPG!
I tried the "fix" for dublicate channels listed elsewhere but could still not get rid of the extra channels.

Here is what I noticed.

-The XML is fine and contains only the channels I selected and all appears only once.

-The config app shows all the channels with number then repeats them again without the channel number.

- If I try to delete one of the channels without a number it still appears ( I managed to remove 2 out of 70)

Any suggestions to solve this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks

First, thank you so much for developing a (much needed) utility such as this.

Second, I've had some problems using it. I can pull up my zip's providers, select the correct provider and channels, but the EPG will not download. I get an error informing me that the schedule file is corrupted or not found. From the log:

I've putzed with other zip codes and providers and found that I can get others to download. Is my problem with the specific lineup that I'm trying to download (my provider is AT&T U-verse) or am I doing something wrong with YApi2XML?

OZ,

Turned out it was user error
Apparently holding down shift while selecting multiple lines in the config app is not working

After removing all channels one by one and hitting update everything was fine.

Once again thanks for making this app.

I checked my TV Guide today (after the 1:00AM update using YApi2XML) and the TV Guide in GBPVR only showed the channel call-letters rather than channel number then call-letters as with zap2it. I fixed that by changing the YApi2XML config to display both and that's good now.

The issue I have now is there are quite a few channels that don't show up at all and some channels only show partial show listings.

See the pic below for example. Note how channel 2 has no shows listed and channel 3 and 4 is missing entirely, channel 5 has no shows and channel 6 has a few shows, channel 7 and has no shows... you get the picture. FYI, I do have all channels 2-78 selected from my provider.



Is that a yahoo guide problem compared to zap2it?

Thanks again Oz.

Ignore the above. I had to go into GBPVR capture device and remove a bunch of bogus channels. Basically they were duplicates of my channels 2-78 only they started at 79 and up. They were playing havoc with my TV guide listing.

I'm getting it squared away now.

yeah, that is definitely the most common problem now. I'll try to add some mention of this issue to the wiki.

I had to do it on both my media pcs.

I just tried that zip code and it worked here. Can you try again?

Thanks, Oz. The problem turned out to be a popup blocker that acts as a proxy called Proxomitron. I added bypasses for api.digitalhomeservices.yahoo.com and p3p.yahoo.com.
