    Hi guys,

    I just found out the the number of channels available from the site used by WebEPG has been reduced from when I frist created the config.

    Before ontv.orcon.net.nz was redirected to -> nz.ontv.uni.cc

    However, this redirection seems to be gone and the XML link at the bottom of ontv.orcon.net.nz doesn't work anymore, but ontv.orcon.net.nz/listings.xml does. However, the number of channels is only 6 now.

    Does anyone know what has happened here or when it happened ?

    I will look at adding new sources to WebEPG.

    Hi James,

    I'm not sure if the two sources were ever related, but this may be of interest:

    http://mr.geek.nz/2005/11/03/cease-and-desist-letter/

    There used to be an xml feed hosted at his site, which is now gone. Perhaps the ontv.orcon site was just a mirror of this?

    This still exists, but I have no idea if it works properly (and it's zipped):

    http://hairy.geek.nz/epg/latest.xml.gz

    As far as I'm aware the only other method for NZ listings is www.reven.co.nz and XMLTVNZ, which is a screen-scraping method.

    Hi guys,

    ontv.orcon.net.nz seem finally dead as a source. It seems the guide data has not been updated since: 01.04.2006 Its a pity as it was only one download to get all the guide information for many channels.

    I am working to add the sites used by XMLTV to WebEPG as I posted in the email above. Could onesome test that these sites are working?

    Thanks,

    /James

    these are the main tv channels that most people would want

    www.tvnz.co.nz - TV1 and TV2
    www.tv3.co.nz - TV3
    www.c4tv.co.nz - C4
    www.primetv.co.nz - Prime

    im not sure if this helps but www.sky.co.nz has listings for tv3 c4 and prime - not sure about tv1 and tv2 though

    i looked at the grabber tonight and could only see tv1 tv2 and prime so if you can get the others i will test to see how things go.

    cheers
