Well hairy seems to be back to full strength again (744k). I use ontv too to get triangle. I can pull data off either by changing the xml ids associated with each channel (in theory, I havn't had to do it yet). Nick

Ah, it's not working? :|

I'll look at it tonight, I have been mucking about with a new DVB-S
card.

Well I think its OK now - that is, I still have 7 days data. On Thursday I
noticed that I had only 5, and the latest.xml.gz file was down to 50k (from
the normal 700k). On Friday it was down to 24k (and 4 days data in the db).
Monday it was back to normal, but today I see its back to 200k? Also, was I
imagining things or did you used to post the file at 4pm? Now its 4am...

Keep up the great service :-)

Yes, over the weekend the PVR had a lot of downtime and was generally
problematic while I tried (and failed) to add a second DVB-S card.

Should have been stable since Monday, but things can happen..

It's always been early morning, the cron job which does it fires at
4:15am.

I have a plan involving shifting it off my PVR to a place less
susceptable to my tinkering :)

I think the switch to Wordpress on the blog caused a bit of mayhem, I'll
look at it now.

It's fixed now.

I've also taken the oppertunity to switch it from using the DVB-S card
in my PVR at home, to the card in the server the site is served up
from.

That'll mean it's no longer dependant on me having 'net access at home,
and various other things. Should be more stable as a result, because I'm
much less likely to fiddle with the server, than I am the PVR. :)

Unfortunately not...



Looks like a new file is being generated but the same old data inside. Help!
Only one day's data left :-)

Likewise, I use Dave's EPG feed and I have data till next Friday...

Have you used a cached copy of the file?

Cheers!

Thats odd. I've just tried from work and you're right (of course). However,
from home I get the same results whether I'm pulling it into myth via
mythfilldatabase after wget'ing the file, or looking at it on my home Windows
PC using Firefox. Both machines are independantly sourcing it from the same
ADSL internet connection. Where would it be getting cached? Locally (on both
machines)? At the ISP (Slingshot)? How do I force a cache flush or whatever's
needed?

Gidday,

It is quite plausible that your ISP is caching it. You might have to
contact their helpdesk and request that hairy.geek.nz is excluded from
the cache.

Dave, any chance of setting "Pragma: no-cache" for the file? That might
(possibly) help...

Cheers!
