EPG Utility: YApi2XML (discontinued)

I just installed Yahoo Go for TV, and it can't get a program guide either. Doesn't return an error; just comes back really fast, with no data.

They pull from the same place. Thus the problem. You would think they would fix it with their own problem though.

I'm also getting the "Error: Schedule file corrupted or not found; all retries failed." as an error in my log file. I've tried to pull the info at different times 10pm, 2am, 7am, 6pm. No luck.

Have I forgotten to configure something, or is this just a yahoo listings problem?

Thanks

There is a definite difference between what you posted and what I posted. And that url is just to get the channels, it always gets the channels. Its getting the schedule itself that is wishy washy.

Right - thanks for the correction. So what is the actual url to see the listings? This would make it easier to debug.

Okay I think I found it:
http://api.digitalhomeservices.yahoo.com...country=us

Just change tv_provider to schedule in the mode string.

And it prompted me to download a zip file with an empty text file (attached)

BTW - this is 72 hours after the initial try.

I only have 48 hours of free listings left!!!

I wonder if they're just letting it die on the vine? Reading their forums, at least a couple of other people haven't been able to get listings over the last few days. No response from Yahoo.

I tried it with my provider and got:

Couldn't connect to database server -- Can't connect to MySQL server on '216.109.117.253' (61)

I think they're just overinundated. Hopefully something good will happen.

I wouldn't be too optimistic Dan. Since they released the first beta, nothing else has been done with Go 4 TV. It seems to be abandonware on Yahoo's part, unfortunately.

Heh, well then, we'll see what happens. Still working allright for me. And if it dies I'll prolly just start using the MCE one.
