update: thanks to enderw for your work on the script and jslawler for your work on the gui!
the script is now working to grab listings for north america. it uses zap2it just like mythtv for those of you who are familiar with it. we need to write an email to zap2it to see about getting a certificate code for xbmc users. if you already have a zap2it account, you can use your existing account, no need to setup a new one. the script does everything for you...you simply launch it and on first run it will prompt you for your username and password, if the correct parameters are supplied, it will save them, if you mess up and enter an incorrect username or password the settings will not save so you will be prompted again the next time you run the script. :d it will then grab the information from zap2it and create your listing.xml and place it properly for you. when you load up the tv guide it will automatically import your listing.xml. when the listing.xml is imported it will check to make sure it is up-to-date, if it is not, the script will automatically be run, and it will do it all for you so you don't have to maintain anything.
this system was planned out and executed very nicely, it still needs some work as far as user settings go (ex. how many days to grab, timezone, etc.), but it is working for the most part. it will be commited to the svn soon for anyone following this project closely.
