xmltv-users Mailing List for XMLTV

Because of a security hole in TWiki the xmltv website on membled.com 
is currently unavailable.  I hope to have the main page at least back 
up soon, but I'm not sure whether it will be possible to restore the 
wiki functionality.

Robert, if the page isn't back up by the time you read this you could 
point xmltv.org to a mirror of the site somewhere else.  The 
index.html is attached to this message.

Ah, OK so running tv_cat after will merge the lists. Great.

Duplicates are not a problem, I expect them. The stations and cable
outlets are duplicated in the two sources so their programming will be
duplicated, that's fine.

tv_cat will combine listings.  I'm not sure how you'll deal with
duplicates... tv_sort may be able to remove them.

Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services,
security? Get stuff done quickly with pre-integrated technology to make
your job easier Download IBM WebSphere Application Server v.1.0.1 based

come to think of it, you can also just set up your zap2it or na_dd
profile *not* to include stations that are in the other one... that way
you won't get any duplicates.  You'll need to set up channel mapping
yourself however.

I have two separate listings setup at Zap2It, one for the cable supplier
and another for the satellite supplier. How would I go about retrieving
these separate listings and merging them into one output for
MediaPortal?

Hi,

While it may be overkill and hard to understand at first (and later).

It may be possible to do what you want with a very few lines of commands
(script?) to Logparser.

XML files are one of the input formats and HTML is one of the output
formats.

Perhaps someone more experienced with Logparser could prepare the few lines
of commands quickly.

I suggest going to Microsoft's download site after visiting:

http://www.logparser.com/

The Unofficial Log Parser Support Site
Log Parser is a free command-line tool from Microsoft that lets you run SQL
queries against a variety of log files and other system data sources, and
get the results out to an array of destinations, from SQL tables to CSV
files. To get Log Parser 2.2 (the current version), visit the Microsoft
Download site.

Unfortunately, because Log Parser is essentially a skunkworks project from
one of Microsoft's developers, it doesn't have much in the way of official
support from Microsoft. That's why I've put together this site to help Log
Parser users.

Ah. What format would be easiest to read using the braile system? If
HTML, how should it be formatted?

Hi Simon and Christian,

If you're planning to implement this using XSLT (which would probably be 
a good idea) the scripts on this page might be a helpful place to start:

http://dotnet.org.za/colin/archive/2005/06/28/38581.aspx

By the way, if you use FreeGuide (http://freeguide-tv.sf.net) you can 
get an HTML view of today's listings by clicking "Print personalised 
guide".  We are keen to make FreeGuide more accessible, so if you had 
the time and inclination Simon, we'd welcome feedback on that.

It's able to read text and html files.
If HTML it would be good a front page with all the 
channels listed and then as next page to select the day 
and then a table with the with the whole day of the 
selected channel. It shouldn't be in DHTML or with 
JavaScript because the system isn't able to read such 
things.

When it's in text format then the channels should be in 
seperate text files with channelname.txt as file name.

There are programs like this already out there.
Why would you want such a program?

To convert the xmltv xml file to a nicer format. And for example 
setting it on my laptop and html is more accessible for example for 
me as a blind user.
So I can load for example the files into my braile system because 
this thing understands html.

Hello,


xmltv2html is a Ruby script that transforms the output of XMLTV into HTML.
This is different from other XMLTV -> HTML programs in that the times
are on the horizontal axis and the channels on the vertical axis.

http://xmltv2html.rubyforge.org/

Hello,

I am looking for a tool which is able to run under windows which 
converts a xmltv-file into a bunch of plain html-files.
It should support multiple days.
Does someone know something?
Would be cool if such a thing could be implemented into xmltv itself.

Oi Klaubert,

good to hear your problem was solved that easily. And good to know somebody is
actually using the grabber. I did not get any feedback so far. Please note that
NET recently changed a couple of minor things on their website. Depending on
your city, this might or might not affect you. In case it does, please get the
most recent CVS-revision from Sourceforge and reconfigure.

cheers,

it's in the queue. RH7.3 is resisting to build, but xmltv on RH7.3 is
already lacking some modules due to the perl version shipped, and
therefore I'm giving up on it. So the next ATrpms update will have
this fixed for RH8.0 upwards.

Just for the curious: On RH7.3 it fails the tests with:

FWIW, I have asked atrpms to upgrade their XML::Writer package to

Hi, 

upgrade to version 6.0 solve the problem.

This is just a bug in the grabber. There is nothing wrong with your

/Mattias

I install xmltv from atrpms, in a Fedora Core 5, and I can't use
tv_grab_br_net.

The program issue this errors.

# tv_grab_br_net --configure
Can't call method "print" on unblessed reference at 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/XML/Writer.pm line 115.

and 

# tv_grab_br_net --version
XMLTV module version 0.5.43
could not load XMLTV module, xmltv is not properly installed
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/XMLTV/Options.pm line 321.
This is tv_grab_br_net version 2006/04/18 02:54:28 ,


I can't find anything about this. What is the problem? I reinstall the rpm, and
the problem persist.

tnx in advance, 

Klaubert

Tired of spam?  Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around 
http://mail.yahoo.com 

I started using XMLTV based on the O'Reilly article
(http://www.onlamp.com/2005/12/08/xmltv.html).

I have a few issues and thought I would ask the group to see if there
easy solutions that everyone but me knows about.  8-)

1. I'm using tv_pick_cgi to try to schedule my viewing.  I've done a
   few cycles with it, so lots of never's and always's marked in the
   tvprefs file.

   a) it's very slow.  long minutes per page while processing.
   b) a program is shown without time or channel (days are shown by
      name without dates too)

      the problem here is differentating between stripped reruns and
      first run shows of the same time (eg. Stargate SG1).  knowing
      what channel and what actual time of day the show being listed
      is on would help diffentiate for picking purposes.  Clear dates
      for the shows would also help.

      Also, clear marking of movies (vs just genre which is the same
      as are used for regular tv shows) would be nifty.

2. tv_to_text is reasonable, but the channel name would also be
   useful.  Also it would be nice to have a flag to print out the
   extended listings you see in tv_pick_cgi when in the mood (or have
   a browser based viewer that can narrow the listings to your picked
   shows (with expandable program descriptions) as well as complete
   listings with picked shows highlight)

   Even further, it would be nice to know what shows were picked via
   always or yes (an always is likely to be a weekly preset in the PVR
   and a yes would be something that needs specific programming)

Thanks to the people who wrote the package, and thanks in advance for
any help with my specific questions.

Hi Niel,

My mistake.. I was running Ubuntu Breezey, and now I updated to Dapper,
and the version of xmltv has been upgraded also and it works ;-)

thanks for your answer!!

Hi Niel,

Thanks for your request ... but why is the subject called "Belgian 
grabber" ... my original subject was "[xmltv-users] tv_grab_de_tvtoday 
problem ... tv_grab_de_prisma other grabber for germany?" 

My release was delivered with KnoppMyth R5B7 ... xmltv 0.4.42 ... an there 
were some additional changes on tvtoday website ... 

now I upgrade first to 0.4.43 and afterwards to cvs snapshot ... getting some 
problems with some optional perl modules like ProgressBar, etc. ... after 
doing some testing ... now everything is all right and works great again ...

Best regards
Martin
