[Xmltv-devel] tv_grab_uk_atlas (replacement for tv_grab_uk_rt)

[h***@gmail.com]

I've written an XMLTV module to fetch listings from the replacement Atlas API and format them into standard XMLTV format.

It uses a few additions to the normal XMLTV params (e.g. allows fetching by "hours" rather than just "days") and is customized to better translate the channel ids and genre codes used in Atlas. (See the file "install" for details).

You can find the package here:

Cool.

Does it work with standard paramaters? (you just added new ones)
Does it use the XMLTV.pm module to help generate standard XML?

Actually, a better question to start with is: Are you interested in
adding to the XMLTV Sourceforge distro or just letting us know your
grabber exists? (other projects)

I would like it to be added to the distro but I'm aware Nick is working on an Atlas grabber as well, so I'm not sure what's best.

Thanks for holding off for the time being, and thanks also for
contributing the Guardian and TV Guide grabbers to the project.

I've been very busy with a new addition to the family for the past few
weeks, resulting in a delay in getting my Atlas grabber completed and
uploaded. I hope to remedy this in the coming week or so, as I've been
able to start whipping it into shape and generating updated lineups.

Cheers,
Nick

Ignore my last message. I see you've just started to commit your Atlas grabber

Hi Robert,

Yes to both :-)
