New Script - Mytv
« on: June 12, 2005, 11:29:00 AM »

myTV

OK.  this started of as a simple idea "I'll recreate a Sky style tv guide for xbmc ..." which, probably cos its only my 3rd ever script, took me longer than I imagined.

It was originally written to just use data from Bleb.org, but inspired by the modular approach demonstrated by scripts such as Ooba and Flexibrowser, I rewrote it to allow the data to be collected from any source by the use of your own Data Source module.

As it happens I prefer the data that comes from RadioTimes, but I've included both Bleb and RadioTimes DataSources modules, with the package defaulting to using RadioTimes.

This script displays the collected data in Sky Timeline horizontal bar layout, but also allows direct navigation by using 3 lists. Channel / Day / Time.

Theres usage instruction in a readme file in the package (and in script header).  The readme also gives details on how to write a DataSource module.  If you've got a site that you'd like me to have a ago at writting a DataSource module for, let me know, I might just do it for you.

Hopfully, its releativly bug-free (does such a thing exist?), but if its not I can blame my beta tester mates for that ;). Mail me I'll endevour to put things right.

So, if you've read this far, you can find it at
XBMCScripts (Please use v1.01 ).

Cheers
BBB

Good work

the Q: directory is a virtual directory for XBMC, just simply put it into your scripts folder..... XBMC/scripts/
