[QUOTE="hurley, post: 1174693, member: 151395"] G'day [USER=151289]@MadibaJ[/USER], nice to see another Aussie here [I](y)[/I] [I] Dynamic[/I] refers to the ability for broadcast (DVB) guide data to be adjusted at any time by the networks, particularly for cases like sport that over-runs or breaking news that might alter their intended scheduling. Of course this depends on them actually updating the data they send with the TV signal and [I]Grabbing[/I] that data frequently. Here in Oz and possibly other regions too, the networks tend to layout the weeks programing in [I]block[/I] format ie: [INDENT][I] 8:30 - 10:30 Movie xyz[/I] [I]10:30 - 11:30 Late News[/I][/INDENT] Then as the broadcast time approaches they [I]fine tune[/I] the scheduling, usually by only a few minutes eg: [INDENT][I] 8:32 - 10:36 Movie xyz 10:36 - 11:28 Late News[/I][/INDENT] These small changes are enough to break certain schedule types, something which [I]Schedule Repair[/I] aims to address. In contrast, web based guide data is rather static. They don't tend to update program times for these small changes, so DVB data is more likely to be accurate. Ideally you would combine the best of both worlds: DVB for timing information and web for 'enriching' the data with episode info and the like. I believe there is a MP plugin here somewhere which is designed to do this epg enriching for you, though I haven't tried it myself. [COLOR=#bfbfbf]____________________________________________________________________________________________________[/COLOR] Regarding EPGCollector and other xmltv based EPG tools. This is something I've thought about... The plugin at this stage is designed to work with DVB guide data, but there's no technical reason why it couldn't also work with xmltv too. As long as there is an event the plugin can catch [I]'OnImport'[/I] of xmltv data. I might look at implementing that feature for v1.1 if there's any interest in it. ...However I need to get my source organised and published for v1.0 first. [COLOR=#808080][I](almost there...)[/I][/COLOR] Hope that's some helpful info, cheers. [/QUOTE]
