version 2.18 has now been released which should make this easier: To specify a directory to retrieve the configuration from simply add the following to the command line "/cDirectory" The directory should be a subdirectory of the main xmltv directory, any configuration files not found in th...

hmm, weird. what happens if you don't use a proxy? does the automatic update in xmltv work without a proxy set in the configuration? can you access http://solidhelium.com/ does http://207.58.143.171/ show an error page saying no site is set up?

a different way to do it is to use a batch file to rename thee files: @echo off if NOT exist userchannels.txt goto start echo Backing up userchannels.txt ren userchannels.txt uc.bak :start echo using "%1" for channel list ren %1 userchannels.txt echo Running XMLTVRT xmltvrt /Grab if NOT ex...

it is written in delphi 7, i don't have the source here but as far as i can remember pngimage is from a sourceforge package (see link in the about box). the other units are all units that i have written but that are not part of the xmltv project and i think are installed under the source\extrafiles ...

it should be fixed now

theres a problem with the radio times data today

its done, give it a try and let me know if it works. The output on linux isnt as good as it is on windows but if you only want to use it in an unattended task that shouldn't matter

if you are still interested, i have made some progress extracting the code from the gui and will probably have a first version of a command line only grabber (which will still be configured through the gui) working in the next few days

ive jyst had a quick look at this and kylix can produce applications that work without x running but it would be a firly major task to make this work, you may be better off using the xmltv from sourceforge as it is more designed for this sort of task

ok, the reason is that my project was coded vary lasily for windows and all the silent option does is simply not display the form, it still requires the x windows system, i will have a play and see if i can get it to run without x

hmm, does it work if you just call it from a terminal window (it works for me)? how do i get it to run as a cron job so that i can test this for you?

on linux if you add -ns to the end of the command line then it will not display that copyright window

putting the files from kylixrt.gz which is available from my page into the program directory should also work, my program uses a modified libc.pas from crosskylix which means the libraries can be put in the program directory and dont have to be put in /lib

or try 2.13.2 instead which should fix this

nick jr has a 5 minute blank program at 2105 each day, if you remove nick jr from your listings does it work?
