[QUOTE="Big_Kev, post: 211345, member: 52102"] [b]New Version 0.0.0.02 Beta[/b] Some minor changes and fixes. [B]New Features:[/B] [LIST] [*]Added support for using a local file as xml data source - Add the file address as the URL and check the Is File checkbox. [/LIST] [B]Fixes:[/B] [LIST] [*]Editing URL info was applying all changes to the last URL in the list - now fixed to change selected URL [*]More robust error handling [/LIST] Kev [B]Why another EPG downloader?[/B] This question has been asked legitimately, and the answer has to do with the vagaries of Australian EPG data. For some reason. EPG data in Australia is copyrighted by the networks, and there is no official site publishing EPG data (except for the ABC which is our public broadcaster). All of the EPG data has to be re-created from scratch to avoid copyright issues. This is done mainly by community effort, where little bits are added by users to create the data, or a few services that charge monthly fees. The different data sources have different data structures - some data has no "channel" nodes, just programs. My little program automatically compensates for the various idiosyncrasies of the different data sources. As the program should also work for most other countries, and I had already written it, I just thought it would be good to share it with the rest of the forum in the hope that it might be helpful to other users in other countries as well.
