i miss the tv guide from xbmp (but not enough to go back and use it again :p ). i've had a little search around on here and noticed a few threads of python scripts to do with tv listings, but wasn't too sure about what they did.

i just want the same functionality as the old xbmp listings guide had - that is it picks up an existing xmltv file and parses it into a nice format.

i already have a schedule running on a server in the house that gets the tv listings, i just need to be able to view them.

which script do i need to download?

i haven't used this one myself but it looks like that it fits you needs. get the script from: http://www.based.com/xmltvdaemon/

i dislike the fact that you need a seperate scipt on you server to fetch the xml file. would be nice if the script itself could do that. anyway the one stated above is proberbly what your looking for.

if you need an alternative check:

my guess is that it's this script he is looking for.

interactive tv-guide using listing.xml v0.3 (http://dwl.xboxmediacenter.de/redirect.php?dlid=44&phpsessid=6bcd0e56aefd999564c840b128812783)

hey. if anyone cares i found a php xmltv grabber for australian tv. it works really well, and if anyone wants i will run it on my server so everyone has updated aussie tv listings. (it grabs from yahoo)

http://magnetikonline.com/phpxmltv/

problem is, i cannot seem to get this python script to work with the output. i'm probably doing something wrong but if there is an error i dont mind debugging it myself (it will give me a good intro to python).

i cant seem to work out how to get access to the console text output on the xbox. sorry if this has been answered a million times but i couldnt find it.

any help would be appreciated.
