RE: [mh] XMLTV

[Clive F. <cli...@bt...>]

I am using XML TV for the UK, but my code is customised and very messy -
over the years I have been through various sources of data prior to =
using
XML TV, and each time I have carried on from where I was before, so =
there is
obsolete code cluttering up the program.

I fetch the XML, amend it a bit, put it into tv_programs.dbm and then =
search
the db using my own version of get_tv_info.  There are better ways of =
doing
it, but I have not got round to doing anything about it. =20

If you want to take this further I suggest that you contact me off list =
at
sc...@fi.....

Subject: [mh] XMLTV


The TV scheduling tools that come with MH are specific to the US - and, =
it
seems, Germany.   Has anyone looked into using the XMLTV
(http://membled.com/work/apps/xmltv/) library of tools to grab and =
handle
the listings?  That way we could let MH concentrate on the presentation =
and
scheduling and leave the grabbing and parsing up to XMLTV.

I'm hoping that someone has written something that allows Misterhouse to
interact with the XML file that the tv_grab_xx tool creates. FWIW xx is =
"au"
for me.

Any tips or pointers - or working code - would be appreciated.

Chris
