[QUOTE="Boris, post: 18227, member: 13068"] I'm working on a dedicated downloader/parser of an xml EPG program from a French team. (telecable.xml) "telecable.xml" is a team which made every day an xml and put it on mirrors, ready to be use. EPG data in this file are only in French for French usage. I have take contact with the team to be able to use their job, and it is ok. I'm working on a plugin which take care of downloading this xml by choosing a mirror, and then parse the xml, just using the programs information of channels which are configure in MediaPortal. The initial file contains near 180 channels. I based my work on "XMLTVImport.cs". All of this is ok. The questions I have: 1/ where is the property for "episode" used? I have check that in the database these information are present (and it is ok), but I don't see them in the tvguide. Same question for star-rating and classification. May I have to ignore these properties and put information in the description? Or these properties will be used shortly? 2/ is my code “ok” for the future? [code] TVDatabase.RemoveOldPrograms(); - for each channel I have – sql = "delete from tblPrograms where idChannel=" + channel.ID + ";\n"; TVDatabase.m_db.Execute(sql); - for each program I have - TVProgram program = new TVProgram(); set each program’s property with their own value TVDatabase.UpdateProgram(program); - end for each – - end for each - TVDatabase.RemoveOverlappingPrograms(); [/code] All my code is done in a thread, with "lot" of thread.sleep. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
