New Australian TV guide source (1 Viewer)

[NickName]

Once again you have come up with the goods. It does as "advertised" with no grief.

I do agree that the list of channels is a little daunting, but as selecting them only needs to be done once, it's not really an issue and it's far better to have too many channels than not enough (and than have to manually add them).
I guess as a workaround people could share their ini files, so for example I could share my Gold Coast based ini file and people could just load that. I don't use Foxtel (a deep personal hate of Telstr@) so it would only contain free to air, but it's a start. Anyway, it's just a thought for the truly lazy or time short amongst us,

Well done and thanks very much.

Hi all. I have written a program to download TV guide data for Australia. It can output in XML for MediaPortal or Windows Media Center.

It can get full guide data including lengthy descriptions, title, subtitle and information about the rating, country of origin, subtitles, actors, year of production and more.

It gets every channel I can think of (more than 150 in total) including all the FTA and pay-TV channels. It supports renaming and duplication of channels, setting individual timezones for each channel, combining title and subtitle (this makes identifying recording files much easier) and lots more.

It has been tested (at my place ) under Windows Media Center but has never been tested under MediaPortal.

Anybody who wants to help with testing, and would like a pretty darn good source of TV guide data, please PM me.

Hello Angus,

Any chance to get your program too.

TIA,


Russell.

If you wouldn't mind...I'm about to build a HTPC using MediaPortal and having your grabber available to sell the concept to the missus would be great!
