EPG Utility: YApi2XML (discontinued)

[sub]

Does gbpvr base it's decisions on how to record the season on the sub-title of the program at all?

No it doesnt use the sub-title, it just looks for shows with an exact match on the title.

Now that Oz has provided the source code, my rewrite seems much less urgent. I will probably continue to work on it at a leisurely pace. If you would like me to set up a Subversion repository for the VB code for source control, I am happy to do so.



The problem I was experiencing was with an hour offset which began at daylight savings this year and continues even now. I am able to work around the problem by setting the "Apply offset when importing listings:" to "1:00", but a true fix would be nice.

I'll have something for you in a couple of days...

I know that I will not be working with a subversion, nor actually collaborating. Of course now that the source is public, anyone can work with it what they will.

However I will be taking my branch forward. I have learned though how important it is to make sure other people have access to the source code. For all of my other projects, and now this one, the source is being saved and maintained on whurlston's server. I may like to include another person in our backup regime, but I would not wish to have version modifications to be public. It's the 'too many cooks in the kitchen thing'. MEncoder, FFmpeg, VLC, are all examples of a large community contributing so much, but no one being able to agree on implementing features. It appears like there are lots of pilots but noone actually holding the rudder...

So you believe that the yapi program is NOT handling daylight savings time correctly? OK I will look at that...

I'm currently working on:

Daylight savings time / 1 hour offset...

Adjustable star rating scale and optionally using a more international convention.

I read the wiki and am not sure with what i need to do to get yapi2xml to run automatically before the guide gets updated in GBpvr

So far this is what i have done

I ran yapi2xml manually the first time, and set it up to what i wanted. That part went well

I then copied the updateEPG.bat file into my based directory C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR

I then went to start - run - cmd - and ran the “c:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Third Party\yapi2xml\yapi2xml.exe” update
cmd ( yes i changed the directories to match where i have yapi2xml.exe).

Not sure what i did wrong or what i need to do exactly, should the command above have the update at the end when running it, i included that last word when i entered it in

Thats for the help

How or can Yapi be setup to get OTA Providers? and also get channels with multiple channels like 12.1 12.2 12.3 and still get the guide info?
Like this


Also is there a way to setup more than one zipcode?
Thanks.
Rick

The data from the Yahoo digital home services which YApi2XML uses does not include OTA data.

Hi - I downloaded and unzipped YApi2xml. When I double click on yapi2xml.exe this is displayed;

"Run-time error '430' : Class does not support Automation or does not
support expected interface."

I am running XP pro. I have done some searching and found this - but now I am lost.

You will probably need to have the supprort files installed. -oz- and I have been suggesting that you use the support files from ZTools... (also VB6 programs)
