EPG Utility: YApi2XML (discontinued)

[nirmelamoud]

with the command line, is it possible to download less days -to make it faster?

[whurlston]

No, but it is not a limitation of the utility. Yahoo does not provide the option for specifying the number of days to download. They serve all of the data at one time.

Help me. For the live of me, I could never see the Guide showing up (on my LiveTV or on the "TV Guide" menu). I know it's there, because when I do "Search Guide", I could search alphabetically, and schedule recording based on it.

I'm using YApi2XML, and have set the EPG thing to pint to the xml file that I created from the program.

Thanks!

P.S. Newbie here, just wanted to say great program here. The only thing that works properly with my HVR-1800

Most likely you have a duplicate channel and it is causing the EPG to fail on import. Zip and post your devnz\gbpvr\logs folder after hitting "update epg" in the config.

[re2st]

OK. I got it to work for a while. But today, when I hit Update EPG, it gives me the "Schedule file corrupted or not found" error.

What should I do?

[whurlston]

Not much you can do for that error. It means there is an issue downloading the data from the Y! servers which can be quite common.

every once and a while I get this error, why? what should I do,
I have windows XP, and the latest version of YAPI2XML.

thanks

I don't have the source in front of me, but that is an error when the program tries to create or retrieve a list of things, when one of the things isn't on the list or numbered incorrectly.

I can't be more specific that that...

I'm working with the update script file, and I need a silent update, the error (subscript ... ) has a GUI message box, and stop the next update to run, and make me click it,
is there a way to turn that off, and maybe (not even needed) get an error from the script like an errorlevel or a print to stderr or something?

If the script calls yapi2xml, whether hidden minimzed or normal view, and the program causes an error, it will give that error message. There is no way to fix this unless -oz- or someone else who has the source can fix it.
