is there a service?method which returns listings for multiple channels?

[reven]

as title, I'm wanting to grab epg listings hopefully using the standard api, and I don't want to have to load one channel at a time.

Is there a call which you can specify either a range of channeloids or just get all the epg data given a date range?

[sub]

Currently the "method=channel.listings" call returns listings for a single channel specified, or if channel_id=000 then it'll return all listings for all channels.

I could probably fairly easily modify it to support multiple channels, with a comma separated list of channels passed in. ie "method=channel.listings&channel_id=1,2,3,4,5"

cheers sub, yes could you please add in support for multiple channel ids, it would reduce the number of http requests i have to do (000 channel id would be too much data if they have lots of channels).

[sub]

OK. I'm away right now, but I can add this when I'm back.

[reven]

cool, ill try and remember to bump this thread when you get back.

just tried channel_id=000 but sadly i'm getting an error

[sub]

I've found the cause of this, and fixed it for the next release.

[reven]

cheers sub, im counting the days until you get back

[mandai]

When I use channel.listings&channel_id=000 it gives an empty result
<rsp stat="ok">
<listings> </listings>
</rsp>
Is there any way to fix that? It works when I enter a different channel id.

There won't be a channel oid that low. What are you trying to do?
