Part 3 is where the magic happens.

First, unless you have access to a Linux/Unix type machine, you probably won't get any further. Either learn linux (nice ask, isn't it?), or find someone friendly who might be able to help you with making the slices. Maybe someone else who has a TiVo in Sweden could help?

 

 

Using XMLTV GUI to "nicify" the data

If you aren't using Windows, don't panic. Move onto page 2. It's not drastic!

Start XMLTV GUI, and go to the settings.

 

Make sure the timezone is set to +00:00

Choose a file to write to with the "final" data.

Check sort data.

Go to the grabbers tab

If you are using the ONTV.DK service, choose that grabber.

Otherwise, just choose the XMLTV_Import grabber.

If you are using ONTV.DK, click on it, and click settings.

Paste in your XMLTV URL from the site. Click OK.

If you are only using the grabbers, highlight that and click settings.

 Add the files for your XMLTV grabbed file AND your MC2XML file if you are using that also.

Click OK.

Now create a batch file called update.bat and put in the following.

set tz=UTC
cd c:\xmltv
xmltv tv_grab_se --days 14 --output sweden.xml
mc2xml -c se -g 241 -u
"C:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI\xmltvgui.exe" /grab /d14

This batch file will make sure the time zone is set right when grabbing the listings, then also grab the mc2xml listings, then automatically run XMLTV GUI and process the data to create just one file. In my example, it's called tvguide.xml
