Aussie's Using xLobby

Postby GFORCE on Mon Jul 19, 2004 12:19 pm

Hi,

I was just Wondering how many Australian's are using xLobby.
If anyone is interested, i have found a solution to receiving Australian EPGs.

I'd be very keen to hear how you got the EPG to work

I would be interested in knowing how you have the TV guide setup.

I am currently using TVHarvest to create the XML file, but I still need to do a little manual tweaking on each import to get it to work.

If you have come up with a cleaner way to do this I would be quite interested.

OK, was it TV Harvest you found to receive the guide or some other method?

If you want to get the xlobby guide working with TV Harvest then you can follow the following steps.
    1. Grab the initial data using the standard TH Harvest routine.
    2. Open the listings.xml file and delete the second and last lines that contain the tags for NewDataSet.
    2b. If you want to change the order of the channels listed in the guide then reorder the <channel> sections at the start of the file.
    3. Next copy the listings.xml file to the xlobby xmltv directory and rename it xmltv.xml

If you are looking for TV Harvest it can be downloaded from http://www.odgregg.homeip.net/

Would you know what language tvharvest was written in?
Im thinking of Editing it so it doesnt add the Newdata tags into the xml file and saves it as xmltv.xml

Unfortunately I have no idea what language the application was written in. I saw a post stating it was .NET but I have no firm details on this.

I have also found a web service that provides XLMTV data at http://d1.com.au/D1xmltv.asmx. This can not be used directly but I am sure that someone who has some programming skills could write a small application to get the required data quite easily.
