Multiple Source Xmltv Downloader., SafeXMLTV Options

[Calvi]

Its pretty easy....
wget -O xmltv.xml --http-user=usernamei --http-passwd=password "http://minnie.tuhs.org/tivo-bin/xmlguide.pl"

Is all you need to get the guide now.

Of course there is a catch. The timezone data won't be there.

I don't have time right now to write a script to convert the timezones but will do it when I get some spare time if Uryan doesn't get around to it.

His script could be alot simpler now, just download the file and parse the timezones and done. What they have done will be better for everyone.

Heres a quick hacked couple of scripts for the multiple downloader to work with the new oztivo site.

It will do till either I get some time to do it properly or Uryan or someone jumps in.

Just replace the <username> and <password> fields in the bat file.

If you are not in Melbourne you will have to alter the channel replacements as well, or remove them.

Calvi,

I updated as per your attached file and edited the convertxmltv.vbs for Sydney channel names.

When I run the update it gets to the tvguide.org update and after downloading the xml file I get an error on Line 109 Char 9 of xmltv.vbs saying "Object is not a collection".

Any idea what this might be?

Thanks
Richard

Try clearing the old xmltv#.xml files in that (tvguide.org) directory.

I have updated the main distribution with the oztivo grabber and improved a couple of things.

[rpalmer68]

That fixed it, thanks. I thought I'd deleted them previously but maybe I didn't.now I get;

I then started getting

\\tvguide.org\\xmltv1.xml...is invalid or has no new schedule data

After some testing I found that not all the channel names were being changed and it turned out that the convertxmltv.vbs searches are case sensitive, so ABC-Nsw <> ABC-NSW.
Anyway all fixed now!

I have attached the files for sydney users incase it helps somebody else.

Hi,
I have simplified the code provided by Calvi by removing the Station ID/Name conversion code.
I hope that this means it will run for most people without modification.
To compensate I had to change my Channel Mapping but this should be a once off and it has not broken
any of my auto-add programs.

Maybe I've missed the point, but isn't the channel name conversion needed so all the different sources end up with standard names for WS to deal with?

This is of course assuming you're using the multi-source script (as per this thread)

[Calvi]

Yep!

[Guest_Sprinter_*]

True.
I only use the one source, oztvio, so simplier code seemed better (ie less maintenance).
Perhaps my post is off-topic and really belongs after the post

Sorry for the confusion.

Updated version 1.5.

Updated version 1.5.

I have been having a problem for quite a while, (perhaps since I switched to WS 3.3.0/1, but not sure) where when I try and run the Downloader get this error.

Windows Script Host

Script: C:\Program Files\XMLTV\xmltv.vbs
Line: 499
Char: 17
Error: Subscript out of Range: 'MatchListItems'
Code: 800A0009
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error


I was hoping a new version would fix it but tried 1.5 and no dice.

Thats probably an easy one (I hope). If you have more than 100 matchlist items.

Try changing line 29.... "ReDim matchlistarray(100)" to "ReDim matchlistarray(500)"

I will make this a bit more dynamic when I get around to it.

Cheers Mate, that fixed it.

Version 2 Released.

This version COMPILES a single guide from multiple sources. This should give the most complete guide possible with long descriptions where available and shorter where not.

It is experimental so use with CAUTION and you can switch between Version 1.6 and 2.0 at any time by only changing one line in the xmltv.bat file.


Read the release notes (Version History - 1st post)

Just tried to download Version 2, and Windows is reporting that the zip file is corrupted. Is it just me?

[pistnbroke]

I had the same problem, it seems to be the " Microsoft.dll "

[mimwdv]

Do you have a fix?

[pistnbroke]

No, I did not bother I'm sure the problem will be sorted soon enough....

[Calvi]

Sorry guys, server keeps dropping out on uploads. Fixed now.
