Partial bodged guide data available

[zollymonsta]

Ah.. I'm a bit slow on the uptake sometimes.

So, instead of the daily call calling minnie in oz, it calls your website and downloads new guide data, if available?

Yeah, probably whats causing it (processor) I'm surprised there aren't a lot of other people having the same trouble. I think what I'll do when I re-image is not have any additional components running, other than what is on the image (remove tyserver/tyindex and another 1 or two that have slipped in).
Tried a prioritizer script, which seems to have made a teeny weeny bit of difference but theres still lag/no response at times. I'd re-image once a month if it was a lot easier if I had to

BBC World data available here: Programme Schedule

BBC World schedules are available two months in advance of each transmision month (e.g. January's schedule is made available by 1st November). They are constantly updated, with the main updates uploaded by the Wednesday 10 days before each transmission week.

TXT, CSV and Excel/Spreadsheet compatible.

ok i've managed to make a full 14 day dump. about freakin time ya say eh..
Missing one channel tho, SkyAusNews. stupid sky website...
but it includes the new bbc data source (noted above) as well!!

www.tjv.info/data.rar (284kb)

note also i found out what the problem was with the programmes ending short, my apologies for that but it slipped into this one before I realised what i'd done (doh! no backup). ****... anyway might do another grab starting today anyway (takes alot longer to grab now otherwise the sky site gets swamped).

Please see my other thread on guide data ideas...

hmm now when is jaidev getting back? hehe

[ehintz]

Tomorrow, I hope... I've been leaving at 7:30am and getting home after 10pm every night since Wed. If I don't spend a wee bit of time with the wife and kiddo tonight I'm gonna be in big trouble... Might try banging the stuff around tomorrow though. Still, if Jaidev gets back then it should be a quick and easy one for him, since he's already got a workflow...

[ehintz]

Timmy, you be rockin' and shiznit... ;-)

Most of the data you pulled had no description, so it's not all the way there yet, but I've been able to roll a slice from it. Doesn't go active until about midnight tonight, but beyond that we'll have data for most of the channels(some of the TV1-3 ones had very little data, but the Sky stuff looks pretty good for a week to two weeks). Once jaidev is back and rolls a slice everyone should load his, as it will correctly ID season passes and the like, but until then I think this will do us. Too bad we couldn't get it sorted last Tue... Anyway, the new slice is on the emulator. For you loadguidein' fools, it's here:

http://www.hintz.org/tivo-service/st...52-12569.slice

You will note it's quite small-this is a result of having almost no descriptions. Still, it beats the hell out of "to be announced"...

[timmy]

hmm i wasn't aware the descriptions were missing. But yes you are correct, my grab has very few of them. will fix and regrab later today.

[ehintz]

Heh. On the subject of not being aware... Further inspection shows that the slice, for the most part, consists of one listing per channel, per day (the last listing of the night generally, such as 2300 or 2330). I'll have to do some more work here and see if I can figure out why. When I installed it the wife was watching something and I couldn't take too much time looking at the loaded data...

[timmy]

yeah i noticed the slice was very small, heh

[jaidev]

Hello I'm back, check the slice announce thread, a new slice is up.

cheers,
Jaidev

[ehintz]

And it's on the emulator...

Man, am I glad to see you back...

So what sort of hoops did you have to go through on the wktivoguide setup? I'm partly there, but I had that wonky issue of only getting one show/day, which feels rather like some sort of timezone issue...
