Re: [backstage] xmltv.radiotimes.com
Hi all, Really sorry you've been having problems with the xmltv data feeds on the radiotimes.com site. As you're aware, we've been having some performance issues over the last couple of weeks which we're working continuously to resolve. The xmltv service is now restored. Please let us know if you have any further problems with this through the usual address: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Simon Pearson
RE: [backstage] xmltv.radiotimes.com
I've let the head of New Media at BBC Worldwide Magazines know about this, by the way. Kim However, as people probably realise the data isn't being updated anymore. Does anyone have a clue? Just had a boilerplate response from them - seems unlikely my email reached a human, let alone one who knows what xmltv means. I wonder how I make my xmltv grabber clear its 'RT cache/profile'? Come to think of it, I wonder if Joe Webuser who complained to RT would make head or tail of that directive? - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

Re: [backstage] xmltv.radiotimes.com
The feeds appear to be back up and being updated, so thanks to all who may have helped! Cheers, Rich.

Kim Thanks Kim, much appreciated :) For information I sent an email off to Nick on another list (about Myth TV - an opensource PVR) saying: It would be interesting to know if you and your contact are responsible for this? It would be nice to have a reliable contact for when this kind of situation occurs again. Clearly the RT person may not want hordes of screaming Myth users complaining everytime there's a problem with their ISP so maybe we could set up an XMLTV_RT community contact list - maybe in conjunction with the xmltv guys. The RT person could subscribe or, more likely, problems are reported to the list and 2 or 3 of the list admins have the RT contact details. If the problem is real then the list admins could approach RT to notify them if the problem doesn't get resolved in, say, 2-3 days. This list could be put in our wiki, the XMLTV source/docs and RT could even put them in http://xmltv.radiotimes.com/xmltv/ Also Peter Bowyer wrote: Seconded. It would be interesting to get a comment on what went wrong, though - and an indication if there's a better way of reporting problems specific to the xmltv feed - I got the feeling that the generic address probably doesn't reach the right people. Of course I could be wrong, maybe my mail there was the only one they got and they immediately jumped up and mended things. No, I too wrote a polite email and got a boilerplate.

The last message about this seems to be on the 29th when the site came back on air. However, as people probably realise the data isn't being updated anymore. Does anyone have a clue? No more than you I guess - my cluefulness extended as far as emailing the 'contact us' address on www.radiotimes.com, but no response as yet. I wonder if any of the BBC staffers around here know someone to ask? Peter -- Peter Bowyer Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

Peter Bowyer wrote: No more than you I guess So for those xmltv users here on the BBC backstage I saw this message from Nick in another couple of lists and thought it worth forwarding here - cc'ing Nick out of politeness. Nick Morrott wrote: I just spoke to the Radio Times and am in the process of hopefully making more 'permanent' contact. The Radio Times are aware of this issue, which I was told is a temporary issue and should be resolved. The Radio Times could not state that the listings will definitely be updated again before they run out on the 10th April 2007 but do hope they will be - they currently have staff absences which are likely contributing to this issue. So I guess the bottom line is hang in there :). If you're a DVB user, read up on swapping over to the DVB EIT listings in the interim if the RT listings do in fact run out on April 10th.

RE: [backstage] xmltv.radiotimes.com
Bleb.org/tv is something I use quite often (when I don't have my laptop with Digiguide to hand on it) but unfortunately they can't show ITV listings due to legal reasons at the mo - believe a solution is being sought at the moment. Still, VERY handy site. And who watches ITV anyway. ;) -Original Message- From: Angelo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 29 March 2007 23:11 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: Re: [backstage] xmltv.radiotimes.com It's not even Safari compliant, yet.
