Zap2it Closing Down

I slept back in July

(A cookie to whoever can name the movie.)

"Thank you for Smoking"

[EDIT]

Wrong answer.

In "Thank you for Smoking" Jeff Megall (Rob Lowe) is asked, "When will you sleep?" He responds, "Sunday."

I still show 35 pages of info as of today so I don't see where anything has been moved.

You didn't I don;t think. The forum just hides the page numbers to show the first few and the last few. If you page back you should be able to see them all

I've gone ahead and asked TitanTV what options are available for getting a UUID that works with RequestProgramData and will advise on what they say (subscription service or otherwise).

I thought I'd managed to find my TitanTV UUID by starting the TitanTV Remote Scheduler, logging in, and populating the UUID key in my registry. However, trying that value with the TitanTV RequestProgramData tool yields an error 40030 - "Invalid uuid".

I installed a packet sniffer and verified that the UUID sent for the RetrieveAllRemote utility was the same as that stored in my registry. RetrieveAllRemote does work and I was able to run it via "wget --output-document=testtv.xml "http://www.titantv.com/Services/PartnerTools.asmx/
RetrieveAllRemote?CreatedTime=6/24/2007%209:24:39%20AM&
PartnerId=49757&ProductID=&ProductVersion=&UUID=yaddayaddayadda".

However, RequestProgramData continues to fail with "Invalid uuid". Am I doing something wrong, or is TitanTV differentiating between users authorized to use the RequestProgramData service versus those who can use RetrieveAllRemote ?

Thank you for using TitanTV.com. We only offer this service to people
who have the compatible TV tuner cards that have a remote schedule
function.
Please let me know if I can help in any other way.

Just so people are aware, it sounds like a 'pay for listings' option will be available in the near future. This will give another option for those that dont want to do too much work to get their listings.

Over the last few days I have been talking to several groups of people about this, including Tribune Media Services and the project leaders from mythtv and xmltv.org and some other companies. I dont have much in the way of details at this stage, but it looks like a company will be offering paid listings in the near future (no, not TMS or WelltonWay or myself) .

(BTW, it was interesting to get stats from TMS. GB-PVR one of the largest consumers of zap2it listings today, and had more active US/Canada users than I would have thought)

And of course it's safe to assume that these services will work with GBPVR? I'm willing to pay but am also willing to do a little leg work if necessary to get my listings. My problem is that it's the simple things I mess up most on.

Yes, thats the assumption I'm working on.

I will as soon as I'm ready to post my first test app.

Here's a quick status update:
1) I can add support for just about any tuner card so that you can set up your lineups.
2) I can now initiate a guide update through without having to start the Go for TV app. (This eliminates the problem of tuners being inaccessible to GB-PVR.)
3) I can access all the lineup data.

Things still to do:
1) Test multiple lineup configurations.
2) Actually output the data.

I installed yahoo go also and looked at the listings that were downloaded. Pretty good stuff. The challenge is to decipher all of the fields in the output data. Have you made any headway?
