Hi Kev, I upgraded to the new version just now, and followed the instructions till the end, but keep getting an error in the log:

I'm using http://minnie.tuhs.org/tivo-bin/xmlguide.pl as an xml data source.

Thank you for your efforts,

Yes, I found some dumb mistakes in the program. I have fixed them and will upload a new version tomorrow.

Hi raidmelb,

I have uploaded a new version that fixes my previous mistake.

Please give it a try and let me know how it goes.

There are some extra fields in the url grid that are not used for Australian downloads. Just make sure that the type is set as "Normal".

Hi Tompa,

I'm trying to use this app to download EPG info from tv.swedb.se. Can you give some directions how you specified the XML source in the grabber?

Hi Kev,

I just got this working and stumbled on an issue. Apparantly the app reply on a c:\temp directory to exist, which it didn't in my case. I got an error and had to create the directory manually. Then it worked fine.

Do you think there could be some error-handling for this?

Tompa, thanks for your help!

I guess there was a minor typo in your desciption above. I realized there had to be a "/" between the base-url and the channelID.

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for the update, it's working fine now.

One thing but, if you don't select the EPG type, it defaults to complex, which tricked me at the start.

Thank you for your efforts Kev,

Big_kev,

Fantastic work! Thank you for contributing to the community!

I do have a development request if you get around to it. Please add proxy support. I use an HTTP proxy so I'm unable to get the guide info straight from the source.

Thanks for your effort.

New Version 0.0.0.05

New Features:

• Proxy Support - see new "Internet" page (thanks mulva!)
• New Documentation including Complex URLs - example and list of options for complex URLs

Note: I could not fully test the Proxy Server options, so feedback would be appreciated

Fixes:

• Removed debug statement that used "c:\temp" folder - this folder is no longer needed

Regards
Kev
