With a complete lack of personal time and the long awaited Linux version of AIR still awaited (come on Adobe, the Mono boys will get Silverlight running on Linux before you get a proper non Beta release out) I’ve parked development of it. Also, having found on-line guides like this one: Sky TV Listings, I […]

Another odd piece of data from the Radio Times website meant that a film director had HTML code in the datastring. This screwed up the XML which then failed to parse. I have now added some code to strip out problematic data like this. Now at version 0.6

I haven’t updated this site for ages due to free time issues but I have finally managed to update the application for the released version of AIR. I have also taken this opportunity to open source the whole lot (except for the auto updater code which isn’t mine). You can find the latest version of […]

Finally I have gotten around to upgrading AirWaves TV Guide to the latest version of the AIR runtime: Beta 3.

It took longer than I hoped (if you need to replace your central heating pump and mid-position valve I am now the man 😉 ), but I will be able to release the new version this weekend. It will now be at V0.2 and the auto-updater should handle the upgrade once I have uploaded the […]

I’m currently in the process of writing a new view on the TV data that resembles the DigiGuide view. Each channel is a long line of boxes. Each box represents a programme, the size of the box shows how long the show is etc. The first version was incredibly slow. I was using a repeater […]

That was quicker than I intended. I’m not sure if anything changed on their side but the data coming from the radiotimes (RT) site started causing problems for the AirWaves parser. I am performing a similar job to XMLTV and creating XML data from the RT data. Today ampersands started causing a failure when parsing […]
