I developed a utility for ATI AIW :-)

[Robstarusa]

Hello,

After manually scheduling shows for my Radeon AIW using titantv's two week lead (the guide+ one week lead sucks!), I developed a utility to create a registry file for windows.

Currently, a rough version of the utility is written in PHP (I had it php available, and it was easy to debug), and it seems to work ok.

It works like this:

You log into the titan tv page with your own account, and look at the listings. Then go to the search area and search for a show you want to record. Save the resulting html file. This utility processes that file and creates appropriate registry entries. Double click on the .reg file and it will enter the registries entries into windows.

How it works:
(tested in sh on OpenBSD 3.2)
# php < tv.php > ./debugoutput.html

Features supported:
* Processes entire 2 week schedule from titantv (Actually if titan tv ever showed more or less than 2 weeks, it should work fine too)

* Supports starting recording of ALL instances of a show x minutes early and recording y extra minutes

* FileNaming of saved shows is Showname_Episodename

* Supports custom show durations for each set of shows

* Anything in the registry entry created by the manual scheduler can be edited/changed in the source of my program.

Requirements:

* Unix machine with php installed
(probably will work with windows PHP interpreter, but you might have
to change path/file names and / vs \.)

* Windows machine with ATI AIW installed (tested with the original AIW RADEON SDR).

Future Features:

* Having a file with a list of files to process and doing each one and creating one big .reg file

* Taking user input instead of editing the source file.

* Possibly putting it in a web page and accepting form input & returning a file to the browser

* Converting to run on C/Windows in a nice gui.

Features that will NOT ever be written by me:
* Automatically Connecting to titantv.com, putting in a user & pass and doing it automagically -- I've already read about screen scraping lawsuits.

This is available under GPL.

Post here or mail me atitv@quadwhore.com if anyone is interested. The whole utility is about 8k

Why don't you attach it here, or upload it to Geocities or similar?

It's just text. Are you interested in downloading it ? I'll put it up on my website, just say the word and I'll post a link.

P.S. You wouldn't be from Zagreb, would you ? My friend (here in Chicago) is from t here.

Well, post the "text" here :) . I don't have a ATI card, anymore, so I don't have any use for it. But, there are others who would benefit from it, I bet.

I will also link this thread in the FAQ, so please post it here. Thanks. :)

<Nitpick> I'm not from Zagreb, altough I live in it :D . </Nitpick>

Good night,

But I'm missing something with recording things at 12am (midnight). It seems that if I subtract one minute, and look at the time, it's 11:59am, argh.
