    Hi,

    What is everyboy in Oz using for TV Guide. I was using TVxB but it appears that www.ebroadcast.com.au no longer uses the same format and am no longer able to extract the guide from this page.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers

    Does anyone else have a few issues with this?
    I constantly have ABC showing programs running for longer than on ninemsn and skipping the programs in between.
    E.g. At night the the one programs shows to be running from 5:30 till 8pm. Totally missing the news and 7:20 Report.

    Any ideas? Otherwise the util is great!

    Yes, I have noticed this with the TVxb app - for example tonight Channel 2 shows the program "Fatmania" running from 5:49 to 7:30 and then "The Report" from 7:30 until 10:25. No mention of DR WHO, Collectors, The News, Catalyst, DNA or MDA... :(

    I have had this happen a couple of times and have not been able to figure out why - there doesn't seem to be anyting different about the ninemsn data that might cause this discrepency.

    I have only noticed it on Channel 2, but that doesn't mean that it hasn't happened on other channels.

    Great, hadn't seen anyone else mention this prob was wondering if it was a user error - obviously not then.
    I'll try and figure it out.

    G'day guys,

    If this is a problem with the ABC guide on other sites, I can create a config file to get ABC guide data from abc.com.au (direct from the source). This should be acurate.

    Let me know if this is of interest. However, check the two source already supported by WebEPG (d1 and yahoo) the can't all be wrong?

    Cheers,

    /James

    Well, I had already recognized your problem, but I still wanted to point out the basic connections once again. Unfortunately, I don't have a fundamentally different solution for you, but with this approach you should achieve your goal. ;) The idea of first setting the current genre colors with the defines is certainly a good one, as...

    I used to use the grabber but a few years back it disappeared on FreeSat DVBS. That is when I changed to EPG Collector. The extra benefit is that it collects from the Sky platform so it will give EPG for all the FreeSat channels plus the unencrypted movie channels on the Sky platform. It also allows me to pick the channels dedicated...

    Hi This is a general question about OnX. I have been using the TvWishList plugin for a while and have recently updated (update install) from MP 1.36 x86 to 1.37 x86 and found there seemed to be no Onx menu in the TV guide. I then configured the onx.presets.xml file like I would normally do with updates or fresh installs, but still...

    I made some updates to the Wiki page describing the <import> and <include> tags, including adding a couple of new xml examples. For the first example, I highlighted the example text and eventually found the location in the menus where I could select the CODE macro to have the example text formatted as a code example. So far, so good...
