[QUOTE="Tony Wall, post: 1028199, member: 125233"] Yes if the developer has lost interest or has no time it'd be good to take it over and fix it up a bit. It's a lot easier than messing around with XMLTV grabber scripts. I too would like to extend it for DigiGuide UK (full personalized guide, not just the free stuff) and try to improve the automatic channel mapping. Regarding JSON, use of the Newtonsoft library is no longer necessary, assuming .NET 4.0 or later is allowed for plugins. Microsoft already started integrating it into their framework (goes with all the new simplification of web services/MVC/WebAPI and all). It's documented here.. [url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.serialization.json(v=vs.100).aspx[/url] I've used this myself and it's fine. There are still some benefits of the Newtonsoft library but personally I think using as few third party libraries as possible is better.
