    Don't be like that. I wasn't moaning. I made a one line comment and Timmy already said it was all but ready. I am aware of the checker. Feel free to ignore me in future especially when it doesn't concern you. I was just letting Timmy (and anyone else working on it) know that what he is working on is wanted and will be appreciated.

    Actually, the predicted data would not solve the problem as it is usually implemented as a duplicate of the previous weeks slice, so if there was a gap in that... then there would be a gap in the predicted data. And you would only be using the predicted data if you had not been able to contact the emulator to receive the real data (which may also have gaps in it).

    The program that creates the slice needs to be improved so that there are no gaps in the data. There is a chance that the pa rsers/scrapers are the ones at fault, but the other sources of XML-TV data seem to contain the missing information which leads me to believe it is the slice generator which is getting confused.

    For example TV1 always has gaps, but the following script will pa rse the TVNZ site fairly well (for TV2 just replace tvone with tv2 in the URL). It does not work out the duration of the episodes, but that can be deduced from the start time of the following show. [The optional parameter to this function is the day (eg thursday)]
    Code:
    TV1() {
      TMP=/tmp/TV_TVNZ_TV1.tmp
    
      if test -n "$1"; then
        day="&date=`date -d $1 +%d%m%Y`"
      else
        day=""
        # TVNZ site is a little broken, seems to display yesterdays if
        # todays is not available, so hardcode it.
        day="&date=`date +%d%m%Y`"
      fi
    
      lynx -dump -nolist -width=1024 "http://tvnz.co.nz/view-preempt/tvone_epg_skin/channelDesc=tv_one$day" >$TMP
    
      cat $TMP |\
      sed "s,\',',g;s,\&,\&,ig" |\
      while read line; do
        if test `expr "$line" : '.* [0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9]$'` -ne 0; then
          title=`echo "$line" | sed 's, \([0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9]\)$,,'`
          time=`echo "$line" | sed 's,.* \([0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9]\)$,\1,'`
          hour=`echo "$time" | sed 's,:.*,,'`
          read desc
          desc="`echo "$desc" | sed 's,[0-9]*$,,'`"
    
          echo "$title|$time|TV1|$desc"
        fi
      done
    }

    I'm sorry (truly, no smiley here).
    Like you with your smiley in your message, what I was saying was not meant to be taken literally. I can see that the ~'s around the word "moaning" and the roll-eyes smiley were not obvious enough (it's not unknown for me to get in trouble like that).

    The fact is, previously I have moaned. At the same time I have offered to help, but those offers had not been taken up. My comment here was really a dig at Jaidev, Timmy and Ed - to encourage them to spread the load as there are a few able people out there only too willing.

    And lastly, only this morning I have had an offer of my help accepted, so hopefully now I can contribute.

    TV3 Guide Data missing

    Anyone else missing guide data for TV3 only from around 3am Saurday morning (23rd). I have some infomercials at 2:50am that last for 51 hours 10 minutes (I know they always seem to be on but this is just silly :-)). Normal guide data resumes Monday morning.

    If you record anything on TV3 over the weekend you better make sure your data is there or set up a manual recording....

    Correct... this is actually a problem with the Sky Digital Guide. If you have a look at the EPG under Sky you will also find that they have Infomercials scheduled.

    No, I've got data for those channels.
    Try:
    # touch /var/timestamp
    # force_index.tcl
    # reboot


    Then wait lots of hours.

    Unless of course your TiVo hasn't made a daily call yet. Check via TiVo web..

    Mine, which had prime missing, is just loading new data now (it just made a daily call)

    Seems I have absolutely no guide data (more or less) and I don't seem to be picking up anything new from the emulator...
    A) Is there an issue ?
    B) Tim's site (http://216.58.174.222/tjvinfo/nztivo.slice) is down at the moment - any other way I can get a slice ?
