"To Be Announced" - XMLTV

kellizer2 · 2007-06-30, 19:01

Evening all,

I currently have TV3 server setup to read XMLTV stream from the Radio Times in the UK 14 days in advance. This routine runs nightly and work great. The problem I have is that scheduled programs in 14 days may not have been announced and the Radio Times simply assigns a time-slot with the name “to be announced”. Closer to the air time, the radio times then updates their details.

TV3 takes the program from 14 days time and ignores any changes to the slot (ie, when it is announced). Is this correct? I can change it to 7 days scrapping where is would be less likely to happen as they more often announced by then but then only means I can see 7 days into the future.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Ian.

Know the problem well....I get round round it by clearing the programs from the DB in the script I use to run XMLTV..bit drastic maybe but solves the problem!
