Recently, i’ve been working on an application that allows you to view the data stored in XMLTV Guide files. Because i originally had no understanding of XML and how to parse it in C#, it was a good idea to fork off an existing product, so i found this. It is a lightweight application written by Ian Bishop, originally intended to parse radio times files. The additions that i have made are:
- Automatic XMLTV Guide Downloading
- Scheduled reminders of when tv shows are starting
- Removed all the UK specific stuff.
- Added other applicable fields that are given in Australian XMLTV Data (like the “Subtitle” which is the name of the show, the “Category” and the credits.
There’s going to be some more additions in the next few weeks, and i’ll post a link when all of the features are implemented, bugs removed and efficiency improved. Thats all for now.
Anyway, you can get the original from the link above or from here. Theres also an old pocketpc version for people that have PDA’s. You can also download the source code from there if you wish to make your own modifications.
