Hi

I'm after a script, which downloads the TV Guide(Australia) from the internet. I was only able to find scripts, which load it from xml files already downloaded from the net. Is there a script which get the TV Guide from internet directly

Cheers
Rolf

I tried both Australian sources but it din't show me any TV Guides. All the time blocks are just empty. I just copied the latest myTV into scripts and followed the configuration screens during the first startup. I selected noTVcard and I expected that the scripts are downloading the TV guids from the internet. Is there a misunderstanding from my side.

I check the internet connection and it was working and other scripts are able to access the internet

2 critical things:
1) Make sure its a clean installation of latest myTV v1.18
2) Running on latest XBMC build that's at least 'Atlantis' 3
3) Delete UserData\script_data\myTV folder - this will remove any previous settings and cause a full settings startup.

Australian datasources are confirmed working with au_XMLTV being the preferred as it has more information.

A TV card is not required to get data.

Ok as you described I installed a cleaned myTV installation I was not able to browse to xbmxscripts.com(times out) and download it from there but I was able to find myTV_v1.18_b27.rar from the forum. Not sure if that is the latest one

I installed that version which gave me two errors after the initial setup. One was 'loadaddress failed' and the other was ' can't load channel list'.

I have the latest XBMC running and other scripts are able to connect to the internet so it shouldn't be a connectivity problem

Any suggestions ?

thats an old beta (without Australian datasources), you must get the release build from http://www.xbmcscripts.com. Once you have it, it should be self updating from that version onwards.

Oh Billy, how quick you forget. XMLTV died quite a while ago (arround the time of b27). The two Australian data sources are OurGuide and OzTivo. Of the two OzTivo is the best in my opinion. Has more stations listed (ABC2 does not appear in Ourguide) and has more detailed listings.

coupeborgward, I'm in Perth, if you need some help send me a 'Private Message' (PM) and I will try to help.
