Guest spacemonkey Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 This would be very cool. The main thing is getting it to cover all the interesting channels (which is loads of channels for us Sky Digi people) but also keeping it fairly useable... But a good implementation would be a definite sell :)
Guest ziggys101 Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 Any further progress on this yet??? :?:
Guest youngerpants Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 Nigma, Have you got any news on the development of this app... I know I'm looking foward to it... if you need any help, please feel free to ask
Guest Nigma Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 Hi guys, Very sorry about the delays. I've been snowed under in uni work for the past month or so. I finish this week, so will have a lot of spare time to put some serios work into it. Appologies again, Anand
Guest Mad ass Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 nice idea i would prefer it to have to be synced to the pc
Guest HelloDave Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 Another thumbs up for this app - I have been printing DigiGuide listings to RepliGo for SPV use, but it's a bit inconvenient, and I always forget to do it when I actually want to find any information :lol: Then I try to use O's TV guide on the SPV and GPRS chooses that moment to have a flid and not connect. If I do connect you then have to wade through several web pages to find the channel and time that you want... Grr :evil: (Orange - please put a whole day on a page instead of a few hours! :D) I know I'm asking too much but if this app could integrate with DigiGuide it would be really good - i.e. import DGs favourites, reminders etc. It's probably possible becuase I think DG uses XML configuration files to store all its markers, but Gipsy Media (the owners) might not be too happy about it if you tried! :lol:
Guest FrankyG Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 I know I'm asking too much but if this app could integrate with DigiGuide it would be really good - i.e. import DGs favourites, reminders etc. I use a tool which export Digiguide data into Outlook, DG2Outlook, so from there a normal sync might do the trick. I would try it, but I really need to get to bed NOW. Tomorrow I will and report back. Screenshot meanwhile;DG2Outlook.jpg
Guest FrankyG Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 well, you know how it is..here are the results a bit sooner than expected :shock: and the url for DG2Outlook DG2Outlook as you can see, the reminder is set as per the setting used when exporting with DG2Outlook. HTH FrankyGss000.jpg
Guest FrankyG Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 Latest version of DG2Outlook.....DG2Outlook2.jpg
Guest madu Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 Interesting... Gotta check it out. I don't want my calendar to be cluttered with TV schedule though
Guest 404error Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 Hi guys, Very sorry about the delays. I've been snowed under in uni work for the past month or so. I finish this week, so will have a lot of spare time to put some serios work into it. Appologies again, Anand Hi Anand, R U still with us? How is the progress or did you stop developing this app, what whould be a :cry:
Guest morpheus2702 Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 I'm amazed that there still is no AvantGo equivalent for Smartphone! If ever there was a device that would be ideal for AvantGo, the SPV is it.
Guest blueflash Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 Why dont the xml files from http://www.bleb.org/tv2/data/listings/1/ display correctly on SPV when using All explorer
Guest Pagemakers Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 Instead of exporting to the calendar (which clutters it up), why not export to its own TV schedule thingy. Clicking on a TV schedule icon would show you the TV for that day.
Guest greg7901 Posted June 15, 2003 Report Posted June 15, 2003 yeh this would be an amazing idea jus getting the days listings from the cradle in the morning wuld be cool no gprs tho plz
Guest Nigma Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 Hi Anand, R U still with us? Hi guys, I'm still around. I havn't done any smartphone development or visial windows development in c++ before, so im trying to get the hang of that first before I jump right in. Just finished at Uni, so i'm gonna start looking into it properly now. Thanks, Anand
Guest vijay555 Posted October 2, 2003 Report Posted October 2, 2003 There used to be an app for IPAQ that i used. Pocket TV Listings. Haven't tried porting it across, but i thought about it briefly and thought that the SPV screen might not be useful. Instead, was considering taking normal column formatted tv listings and downloading as normal html to the SPV. Annanova provides these in convenient format. Pocket TV listings for IPAQ was wonderful. Might be a nice prog on SPV, but limited in function i think. DG2Outlook looks good. but why not just have the outlook reminders set in a different category, eg "TV"?! then you could hide them/ignore them anyway. I still prefer the normal html route. V
Guest PritenC Posted October 3, 2003 Report Posted October 3, 2003 You could have a sync button so that those who dont want to connect via gprs can connect to the computer and use the pass through connection to download the data
Guest chucky.egg Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 Any progress on this? As for diary events - I wouldn't want much in there, only the "odd" (as in occassional!) programme that I might otherwise forget about. The stuff I watch regularly I remember anyway. One thing that I cant find a way to do with Sky is get reminders of series that you like when a NEW series starts. You have to find it first and set a reminder. If you could tell it "look out for West Wing" and get it to remind you of a new series starting that would be cool. Having looked at the XML files from the previous link it looks like it's only listings for that day, not for the future - or are they stored somewhere else?
Guest motbe Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 To answer some of the many questions on here, XMLTV (which is what the developer was planning on using to download the listings) can download listings for a bunch of different countries: Denmark, Germany, Austria, Spain, Finland, Hungary, Italy, US, Canada, Holland, Sweden, Norway, and the UK. So, most people on this board should be covered by that.. And if not, XMLTV's an open source project, so as long as there's an online provider for TV Listings for your country, you can write your own importer for that provider. Check out the project at: http://xmltv.sourceforge.net/ Depending on how xmltv gets configured (by the app itself or by hand) afaik it will only spend time downloading the channels you want.. I could be incorrect on that, but I'm fairly sure of that by watching it download its data... Really though, if it only downloads a day's worth of data, it only would download the XML, and not any images from the web pasge (which would really be what would take up your bandwidth) Being someone who uses a PocketPC all the time, I've used some of the PocketPC based TV Listing apps.. And lately most of them have broken, since the tvguide.com provider changed their listings to make them incompatible.. so, I used XMLTV to whip up a quick Listings Download app that syncs the listings with my PocketPC.. Then I wrote a quick .Net CF app to read those listings on my PocketPC.. Granted that the PocketPC has more screenspace than the SP, but it should still be feasible to write something decent like that for the SP.. I could see the channel, time, and description listed and viewable, and you could then select the listing for more details... So anyways, Nigma can definitely whip up something good for this..
Guest morpheus2702 Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 A mod should lock this thread - nothing is happening!

Guest morpheus2702 Posted October 16, 2003 Report Posted October 16, 2003 The jaded realistic more like!
Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted October 17, 2003 Report Posted October 17, 2003 A mod should lock this thread - nothing is happening! Thats not exactly true. The above link shows where the project currently rests and good luck to them - its an app that im sure a hell of a lot of people are interested in - saves on GPRS costs.
