Zap2it Closing Down

... and here is the application + source.
the UUID I used for test from here:
http://www.google.com/search?q=titantv+UUID&hl=en



if everything works fine, I will make it a console app that can be called from command line with zip, provider, etc as params.
I think the time needs some work, but for now I want to make sure I'm creating the xmltv file correct.

Thanks,

Thanks!

I did use this tool and the listings seemed to work. Pulled down the data for one day of listings.

what about the time of the shows? is that OK too or is off by few hours?

I am working on extracting the lineups/schedules from Y! Go for TV. I am alble to retrieve them and just have to output the xml file. It also looks like I may be able to force an update but I have not tried it yet. What is your provider id? I'll run a test with it.

How do I tell?
Can I help with anything?
What is Y! Go?

Are you going to add something so we can pull 13 (or the max) number of days? One day doesn't really work for what I do.

It's off 5 hours with shows that are at 2PM Central showing up at 7PM.

Sounds like it might be a UTC (GMT) vs CDT issue. Might be tricky to handle with daylight savings.

If the date/times are UTC, them mark them as UTC and GB-PVR will take care of converting them to local times.

<programme channel="13501" start="20070626200000 UTC">

BTW, also probably a good idea to specify the end time on programmes.

Wow, this has gotten to be a large thread! Anyway, I was running a test with Yahoo Go For TV where I installed it and configured/downloaded the TV Listings but didn't configure a tuner.

I was going to leave the software running in this configuration to see if it would update the listings after a day (like the docs say) but it didn't. Or at least, the 'date last modified' on the tv listing datafiles didn't change.

Just thought I'd give an update...
