Good Job!

Any news on showing Cancelled or status of tv series? Maybe making possible to skins showing cancelled tag, just like the watched tag...

certainly worth looking into, though it might be somewhat difficult.

if someone could provide a patch for it, i'll certainly add it :-)

if not, well i can always add it to my way too long list of things to do.

news...no, but it ain't forgotten.
just fixing the bugs in 4.0.1 now, before adding new features.

Just wanted to say what a great addon this is and the addition of the new TV guide feature is absolutely amazing. The only issue I'm having with it is it takes an obscene amount of time to scrape TVRage.com to get the information.

I currently have 119 TV shows in my database and at the moment it takes over 10 minutes to pull the information. Needing to do this everyday makes me use the addon less and less. It's usually only at that time when I really want to check if the show has a new episode available. Having to wait 10 minutes, it's easier to just look it up on the net.

Is there any chance that this could remedied? Perhaps either by caching the information for the current week, loading the information in the background every hour, 3 hours, etc or even switching to TheTVDB.com. Speaking about TVDB, it seems strange to use TVRage for the source as TVDB offers the info regarding status, air time and air date and I assume most people would be using TVDB for their TV scraper already. Would this be a faster solution over using TVRage's API or would one expect the same results?

Again, it's great addon just hope there's a way to make things a little faster.

You could run the script at startup from the Startup.xml in silent mode, the instructions are included in the scripts readme file. this is what I use..

Code:
<onload condition="system.hasaddon(script.tv.show.next.aired)">RunScript(script.tv.show.next.aired,silent=True)</onload>

That might be a solution but not one in my case as I almost never restart XBMC. It normally goes a month or two without getting restarted unless I'm dealing with installing nightlies. Still doesn't change the fact that it takes over 10 minutes to fetch all the information.

Huh..It should update every 20 hours or so..

Quote from readme.txt
Quote:I) Startup.xml:
RunScript(script.tv.show.next.aired,silent=True)

the script will scan your library and tries to fetch next aired info for every show.
there's no need to specify an alarm, the script will set one internally, it runs every 20 hours.
