[QUOTE="SquonkSC, post: 66813, member: 23125"] thanks for all the responses to my post. Maybe it would be a smart thing for sites like ninemsn and tvgids.nl to make the data already available in xmltv format on an ftp section!? They must have the data in a simple format somewhere on their servers before they present it in their html pages right? The data is already publically available, why not offer people the opportunity to read it in a different format like xmltv? It would greatly reduce the loss of bandwith since the files are very small. And what ever they try to stop people from scrapping, with a huge community like the HTPC community, someone will always find new ways to get the data. The fact [url]http://xmltv.assies.info/[/url] is 3 days only doesn't bother me, when I go on holidays I could always plan recordings using the planner instead of the guide. Not that I would because when I'm on holiday, I couldn't care less about what's on tv. :-) And a holiday usually takes more than 7 days anyways. Greetz, Squonk [/QUOTE]
