Uploading Data

[FredddySmith]

Hi thought I might help a bit (if i can)

did this file by hand and uploaded it, only 1 program worked...

tryied that program SDE but did not have the channel I was doing ([v]2), spent some time creating it with an existing channel thinking I would just rename the channel name (which did not work)... even was going to re-compile the src... but better find out why this file is invalid....

cheers

This is what a correct SDE file should look like:

This is not actual V2 data, just an example of the format required.

Thanks for that I just read the v1 info file.... and thought I followed what was required, which when submitted was wrong but I don't recall it explaining the space between programs maybe I missed it as it was late when i did it..

here is what i thought i had to do

In the intermediate file format, each program record consists of these lines.
Each line starts with a keyword then a colon then exactly one space character
and then the actual value. Some lines are optional and are shown with asterisks
below. For the comma-separated lists, there is no whitespace on either side
of the commas.

A single file should only contain data for a specific daynum. The two
fetchers in version 3 of Wktivoguide will only put out data for a specific
daynum. If there is data for another day, then it will be ignored.

The data in a single file ____MUST____ be in ascending time order!!!

The intermediate file format can now contain Latin-x characters, as these
will be remapped and/or stripped by SliceBuilder.pm.

Title: Textual title of the program
Daynum: Date of the program as the number of days since 1970.
Time: Time when the program starts, seconds since 00:00 on the date
Both the Time and Daynum fields are local time in
the timezone from where the data came from.
Duration: Duration in seconds

*Description: Textual description of the program, arbirarily long, single line
