[QUOTE="Taipan, post: 20724, member: 11681"] Hi James, From the testing I have done so far, it looks like the limit is 27 description requests within a 24 hour period. After the 27th request has been received, I get the following error (in the error.log file):- [code]7/09/2005 5:44:21 PM Error retreiving WebPage: http://au.tv.yahoo.com/event.html?ev=12637422 Encoding:iso8859-1 err:The remote server returned an error: (999) Unable to process request at this time -- error 999. stack: at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.CheckFinalStatus() at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.EndGetResponse(IAsyncResult asyncResult) at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() at MediaPortal.Util.HTMLPage.LoadPage(String strURL, Boolean isHTML)[/code] I have asked Yahoo support what the meaning of error 999 is, but they are avoiding the question, so far! After I get this error, I am locked out until the next day. It looks like the yahoo application is working on the IP address, as I am behind the firewall of my router and when this "999" error occurs, I get it from all of my PCs - not just the one running WebEPG. The only IP address that yahoo would know about is the IP address of my router. However, I have discovered that [url=http://au.tv.yahoo.com/]au.tv.yahoo.com[/url] get their TV schedule data from [url]http://www.yourtv.com.au/guide/[/url]. So, maybe it would be easier to get the EPG data directly from yourtv.com.au - as it is quite possible that they don't impose any download limits? I am happy to make the changes to WebEPG to use yourtv.com.au, but I need some instructions on what changes are required - do you have something like that available for a non-programmer/developer like me?
