Auto import XMLTV

[Delphi]

Hi,

 

EDIT: I should ofcourse have posted this in English forum. Sorry. I will post there as well.

 

I have started to program a new input plugin for automatic XMLTV import.

I will do the channel mapping (pairing) as well.

 

Is it a good idea to support multiple XMLTV (*.xml) files to import?

i.e. files grabbed with different grabbers or with different setups of the same grabber.

 

 

I would like to have a look at some real life XML TV guides:

 

8 first lines. Like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<tv generator-info-name="TVGGV2">
 <channel id="02000.DR1">
<display-name>DR 1</display-name>
 </channel>
 <channel id="02001.DR2">
<display-name>DR 2</display-name>
 </channel>

Some typical (or problematic) </programme> fields including as many formatting codes and subfields as your grapper can produce. Like this:

</programme>
 <programme start="20070830081500" stop="20070830083000" channel="02000.DR1">
<title>Klassen 1. b</title>
<desc>Klassen er til fastelavnsfest. De skal slå katten af tønden uden at få ondt i armen. Hvor på tønden er det smartest at slå? Og hvilken klasse bliver kåret som den bedst udklædte klasse på skolen?</desc>
<episode-num system="xmltv_ns">.6.</episode-num>
</programme>
 <programme start="20070903070000" stop="20070903071500" channel="02000.DR1">
<title>Charlie & Lola</title>
<sub-title>Tegnefilm.</sub-title>
<desc>Jeg elsker sne.</desc>
</programme>
 <programme start="20070902220500" stop="20070903005500" channel="02000.DR1">
<title>Dogville</title>
<sub-title>Lars von Triers drama fra 2003.</sub-title>
<desc>Den smukke Grace er på flugt fra gangstere og ankommer til den lille isolerede bjergby Dogville. Med lidt hjælp fra byens forfatterspire Tom tilbyder indbyggerne at skjule Grace, som til gengæld skal arbejde lidt for alle. Da politiet starter en eftersøgning af Grace, kræver alle i byen, især mændene, sig langsomt bedre og bedre betalt for risikoen ved at skjule hende. Grace erfarer, at den godhed, hun har fundet i Dogville, må betragtes som relativ. Men Grace gemmer på en hemmelighed, der bliver skæbnesvanger for hende selv - og for de gode borgere i Dogville. Medvirkende: Grace: Nicole Kidman, Tom Jr: Paul Bettany, Thomas Sr: Philip Baker Hall, Chuck: Stellan Skarsgård og Vera: Patricia Clarkson. Instruktion: Lars von Trier.</desc>

 </programme>

 

If a subfield is not supported by DVBViewer it could be possible to move the information to the description/title field.

i.e. Klassen 1. b --> Klassen 1. b (6)

 

So please add (like above) some snippets in this tread (NOT whole guides, please!).

 

If the snippet contains formatting codes it is better to upload as an attached file. This site interprets the formatting codes, which is not wanted.

 

Thanks in advance
