Very fast Dutch TV listings with NLGrabXMLTV 1.0

[zehd]

Hi zehd,

On http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=28932
it says you'll admin the page, so I figured you could take the info from the first post in this thread to add it to the wiki. But if you'd like, I could add this info myself.

NP... just waiting to be asked.... I'll fix it up tonight

Sheik Yerbouti, if you haven't strongtyped the extra data yet, I have a complete xmltv serializer as part of my Mce2XmlTv converter that you are welcome to use.

Could you explain what region setting your using?

I'm currently using modified Dutch settings for date. I've set the short date format to yyyy-MM-dd .

But it shouldn't be relevant as far as I know. IIRC in C# you should probably use XmlConvert.FromDateTime() and XmlConvert.ToDateTime()
with XmlDateTimeSerializationMode.Local in this case, which avoids making any assumptions about localized formatting settings.

Sheik, there seems to be a problem saturday-night on NED3.
I noticed that The Sopranos didn't show up, seems that Jeugdjournaal is the last show listed. In the EPG-file the times for Jeugdjournaal are wrong (the end date is wrong) But The Sopranos aren't there at all in the file.
I downloaded the latest file from xmltv.assies.info, in that file The Sopranos are there, so there must have gone something wrong somewhere?

Almost right , but it got me in the right direction, I think.
Could you try out this new version?

Yeah, I see that Jeugdjournaal has a very long show on Saturday. I'll hope to look into this tomorrow. Thanks for letting me know!

Thanks for the offer. I had your coding on my machine for some time now, but I haven't checked it out yet. But I definitely will!

Works like a charm. Will definitely start using this grabber then as TVxb still has issues with SBS6/Net5/Veronica for me.

Thanks Chris.

Works like a charm.

Great! I will include this fix in the next full version.

Hmmm, I did some bad programming leading to "zomertijd" troubles. The first post now includes the latest version that fixes this problem temporarely (not a pretty solution), and it also includes some other small changes. I hope to do a better release pretty soon, but for now this version should work without problems.

Tip: to get my EPG working again I've deleted all my EPG info in GBPVR for each capture source and did an EPG update after that.
