ive mentioned this already that is quite unreliable this remote record not because of the app but because of the data and the sky remote record system which I think behaves funny that it accepts sometimes and sometimes it doesnt.
since this is not some official app from SKY neither are we using thier api's(which arent available anyways) there could be some mismatch of data.
in your example i think the _ is the issue. the data that is coming from the source may not always match what SKY has.
remove the underscore while sending the msg, it will work for now
yep, i can confirm that it work now without the underscore.
Sorry, the app is designed to be built around XMLTV data. its a more universal way for all regions to represent channel listings data.
I dont want to add individual website data scraping or adding different data formats for each region/channel as part of the app its not maintainable and will lead to irregularities in usage and more bugs as well.
Let me know if this website can provide XMLTV data. I worked my way around the site you mentioned but didnt find any source of data.
Thanks for pointing me to the website it does look nice though ( maybe we can make another app to display that data as it is and integrate it with the calendar on Maemo )
something is wrong with the german data provider for showtime. you only get data for today. all dates in the past or future result in "no data for this channel"
I can put the reminders based on the assumption the programme runs on a set frequency until a set date, which I can ask the user to input.
But if you want me to set the reminders based on the real data, then I can only do it for max 7 days in advance, and also this will require i download the data for that channel for 7 days, i really didnt want to do it just so that we save bandwidth and so that it wont abuse the site that is providing data, imagine if all users have 10 favourite programmes on different channels then every week 10*7 = 70 files get downloaded every week per user. The first method seems doable , and its easy to implement as well.
How about utilising the same feature that over the air HDD Recorders do with the Series ID? If you locally store such entries then when downloading a feed simply highlight any with a matching ID. For programmes broadcast for only part of the year e.g. Top Gear, Dr Who etceteras, this would be even more impressive

can you specify which channel, ill try to have a look myself at the source of data if its missing there.
