EPG Utility: YApi2XML (discontinued)

[zaldwaik]

Hi OZ,
I have gotten passed the corrupt listing issue, but the listings in the XML file are 4 hours off (10:30 instead of 6:30). I have not used them in GB-PVR yet, but I was wondering if this is normal, or if somthing is wrong. My timezone is set to eastern. There is a +0000 included in each time field. Here is my ini file in case you want to test.

Code:

[Options]
output="C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Third Party\yapi2xml\yapixml.xml"
chformat=1
nologging=0
clearlogweekly=1
epaddperiod=0

zaldwaik, the offset setting in GB-PVR config should be set to 00:00. It will automatically adjust to your timezone.

Sorry Dan, not much you can do about this one on your end, unless you want to check for the last channel listed in the download and hang the program for 15 minutes to try again (not recommended).

Yahoo's servers are taking a huge hit these days. I've found at least one other program that is pulling their data as well (DigiGuide).

Awhile ago it was having issues with not reading all the files out of the ini so that was why I was curious. It sucks we're taking down Yahoo!

Is your timezone actually eastern in windows? The last person who had this issue their timezone was off. Also, make sure when you load it into gb-pvr (the capture device setup) the offset is 00:00.

Yes

Also, make sure when you load it into gb-pvr (the capture device setup) the offset is 00:00.

But how will GBPVR fix this if it is already wrong in the XML file and the offset is 00:00?

Here is a sample, this is "Fox News at Ten" but the time is 0200

Code:

<programme start="20070908020000 +0000" stop="20070908030000 +0000" channel="0005">
  <title>Fox 5 News at Ten</title>

Thanks for your time.

Give me your zip code, provider, and please attach your log and ini file and I will take a look.

Hi Oz, Whurlston,

Thanks for the feedback, I waited yesterday out and tried to download the listing again today it is even worse. Now the schedule only goes up to channel 41...

I tried several different zip in my area and still no go. Attached is my logs. I'm in 95134 using Comcast digital. I also tried 94086, 95054 and several others...

Thanks for your time.

0000 is the UTC time offset. GBPVR will know exactly what to do with that. think about it this way, 0200 minus 4 hours is 2200 or 10pm so it will be correct. The TV guide is formated to UTC time, always.

And lolento, when I get home I'll see if I can duplicate your errors.

[zaldwaik]

Thanks, it works great now. I did not know about the UTC time.

Still no worky for me, my scheduled d/l at 7am this morning failed with the usual 'not found or corrupted' message. I'll let it run everyday, but it might not be reliable now.

Looks like I have the same issue. This is my first attempt at using this app.
