EPG Utility: YApi2XML (discontinued)

[dewchugr]

I'm having a bit of trouble with my schedules. Some of the shows show up as starting an hour earlier than when they really start. Also Some of the shows in the guide show up with different episodes than what actually get recoded.

Is this a known possible issue with a possible fix?

Thanks.

I'm having the same problem with the 1 hour discrepancy. Shows that are actually on at 10:00 pm, for instance, are displayed as being on at 9:00 pm. This has been the case since Daylight Savings began on Sunday, March 9.

YApi2XML just crashed on me with an error about "out of memory". I'm trying to process the Time Warner listings from Chatsworth - Digital Cable.

I don't want to scare anyone too badly, but with the sudden increase in troubles, it might be that the program is starting to break. I've already called out to see where -oz- is and if he left any source around...

We may be in for a rough ride, or even a crash.

-Oz- posted on the forum a day or two ago. My money is on it being more of an issue with the data source than the program. The Yahoo data source has proven to be highly unreliable.

I don't believe this to be the case with the 1 hour offset. The listings at http://tv.yahoo.com/listings have the correct time.

Yup, It's probably day light savings time, and possibly, (I don't know because I can't see the code) yapixml is handling the dates incorrectly.

Did you ever apply the Daylight Savings patch for WinXP? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928388

I do not have 928388 installed, but I do have 933360 and 942763 which appear to supersede 928388.

My "Date and Time Properties" window says "Current Time Zone: Mountain Daylight Time" which should be correct (unless I'm thinking about it backwards).

Yeah, those two supercede the 928388. I'm getting ready to go look at a few houses but when I get back I'll try to pull the data from Y! and see if it is an issue in the data they are serving. It will be later tonight.
