MceEpg2XmlTv

I think you use the same logic to create the <new/> tag... Compare Previously-Shown to Airdate...) so I won't worry about it ...

reference/pathing: I'll take care of it.

credits: MCE has data for presenter, actor, guest, and director. If it's there, I output it.

generator-info: You should probably key in to "MceEpg2Xmltv (" for the old version. That will get both the 05 an Vista versions of 1.x and "MceEpg2mlTv v2" for the new version.

new tag: I mark it new if MCE does. They mark it new if TMS does. I may use logic to check it too, I can't remember. If not, I will. It's something I meant to do.

And I told you it was fast What takes the longest is pulling the extra info from the database, but there is nothing I can do about that.

Great.... I'll wait for the next RC with a different generator-info... And set up to watch for New tags...

Great work...

It should already be using generator-info-name="MceEpg2XmlTv v2.0"

I mentioned stopping at the "v2" just in case there are "v2.1" and something changes. Most likely it won't unless something changes in the xmltv dtd though.

If there is something else you can think of to use, I'll make it whatever you want though. It really doesn't matter much to me.

Had some trouble, but think I nailed it down to the save settings isn't saving the output file spec. IN MCE2005, running manually out of the ehome dir... using the mce modded .config file

Also Since your GUI is spot on, would you be able to hook in your downloader. And then we can do away with gui altogether?

Edit:

I discovered how I can get rid of this error whenever my Enhancer encounters this...

<!DOCTYPE tv SYSTEM "http://xmltv.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/xmltv/xmltv/xmltv.dtd?revision=1.38">

The error is.. The data necessary to complete this operation is not yet available.

So I added a 1 second pause, and resumed, (rather than resumed next).

It adds about 1 second to the load time. That's before it does anything other than checking for convention and DTD. (when I add .1 seconds and count, it adds about .7 seconds to the time...)

If I change the dtd statement to <!DOCTYPE tv SYSTEM "xmltv.dtd"> then the file loads faster but then it does need a copy of the dtd. I have already built in code that copies a dtd to the location of the xml file. That's not necessarily cool...

I wonder how long this would be on dial-up, as I think the parser downloads a copy of the dtd from the URL, when the parse starts...

[whurlston]

I can tell it to use a local copy of the dtd, that's not an issue at all.

I hope to implement the downloader but I'm not sure when that will be. To be honest there are other projects that are higher on my list. Especially since I don't even use this utility.

I'd go with the local copy idea.

[whurlston]

No problem. I didn't bother with it because I don't use the DTD. I have it serialized.

Same as RC1 except for the following:

Outputs a local copy of the xmltv.dtd to the same folder as the output file.

Includes a config file for pre-Vista MCE versions. Remove the ".mce05" (including the period) extention from the config file if you are not running Vista. If you rename the executable, you must rename the config file as well. Vista users do not need the file at all.

Now copies necessary files and sets pathing automatically for pre-Vista operation. This has been tested on an MCE 05 system with SP3 so I may have missed one or two files that are needed by pre-SP3 systems. If you get an assembly error, let me know the file needed.

Looking forward to testing this...
