[Release] TV Programming v1.2 by tryxter on 01-18-2007 at 10:15 PM

TV Programming v1.2

My first script to Live Plus!

Description

This script uses XMLHTTP to get TV programming information from the cable tv provider. After parsing all information, you can browse channels programs for the current day or even to the 10 next days/5 last days.
You can add alerts for you favorite tv shows too, and let WLM alert you with a toast when your show is about to begin!

Currently I only added a portuguese cable tv company ("TVCabo"), so this first version it's only useful for portuguese people, but I plan to add other companies.

Screenshot

Change Log

Version 1.0.1
» Bugfix: Fixed error while loading an empty alerts file.

Version 1.2
» Bugfix: Alerts added in runtime weren't displayed without a restart.
» New feature: Created an auto updater for use with all my scripts. (Based on -dt- updater. Many thanks to him!

)
» Code: has been reviewed and simplified.

To do list

» Add other TV providers;
» Add a function to display the alerts x time before;
» Multi-user;
» Create a new, more user-friendly, interface.

You can download the package here or use the attachment link.

Hope you like my work!
Thanks to you all for helping me, answering my questions.

Woah... I was totally thinking about making this with XMLTV or something...

You can use http://www.bleb.org/ for UK TV listings in xml btw.

Use the Plus button on the main window or on any chat window.
I just used this way because I don't know what's the best way to load it.

RE: [Release] TV Programming v1.0 by tryxter on 01-19-2007 at 01:33 AM

bug:

code:
Function called: OnEvent_Initialize
[TVProg]» Now parsing chans file...
[TVProg]» ...filling list...
[TVProg]» Finished parsing chans file.
[TVProg]» Loading alerts file...
Error: Input past end of file.
Line: 59. Code: -2146828226.
Function OnEvent_Initialize returned an error. Code: -214735256

with the alerts.txt file you have to have at least 1 character in it or the script will give that error

Hi sam,

Currently, the script isn't prepared to add british channels, but it will be, when I release the next version of the script. You'll have to wait, sorry. 8-)

RE: [Release] TV Programming v1.0.1 by sam06 on 01-28-2007 at 03:49 PM

Thanks for that

RE: [Release] TV Programming v1.0.1 by kao on 01-28-2007 at 04:08 PM

It'll be good once it can show British TV listings

RE: [Release] TV Programming v1.0.1 by Fredzz on 01-28-2007 at 08:58 PM

Hi Scott.
I cannot promise a date, but I can tell you I'm working to add new tv providers, and adding other functions to the script.

Thanks one more time

RE: [Release] TV Programming v1.2 by tryxter on 02-01-2007 at 02:38 PM

SCRIPT UPDATED!

Check the first post for the changelog.

RE: [Release] TV Programming v1.2 by roflmao456 on 02-01-2007 at 11:15 PM

maybe a way to add your own provider(s)? would be great lol

RE: [Release] TV Programming v1.2 by tryxter on 02-01-2007 at 11:40 PM

I thought that too, but it's kind of difficult because all providers have different ways to show their tv programming. But if someone finds a way in how to do that, just tell me!
