[addon] Beyond TV Web Based Program Guide

[SSDNAdmin]

Author: StevenR

Description:
This is a web EPG that uses the API to display the guide data and also allows you to schedule recordings. This is written as an addon to the Web Admin. It is useful for anybody who uses third party guide data such as from XMLTV and cannot use SnapStream.Net. Clicking on a program will open a popup window giving you various scheduling options.

Requirements:
XMLTV, BeyondTV 3.5 or greater

Source:
[included]

Installation:
To use the EPG you simply need to put the "guide" folder from the ZIP file into the Program Files\Snapstream Media\Beyond TV 3\wwwroot directory.
To enable it within Web Admin, follow the following steps:
1) In Web Admin click on Settings
2) Click on SnapStream.Net Settings
3) Tick the box "I want to use my own guide"
4) Enter /guide/ into the URL field.

Hi,
on my system, this isn't working right. It displays the grid, etc.

But suppose It is listing from 7pm to 9 pm. THe shows in those slots are actually from 1pm.

I have a screenshot attached

I have the same proble.. ...I think it's a problem with the GMT timezone

Cheers for that - its great.

I've made a couple of small changes - using the overlib.js script to display the program details a little nicer and also show more details on the recording page.

Same instructions as above

Edited - Updated upload to fix IE display issue (worked fine in Firefox though )

Yup, fixed it (see above) - simple fix - missing </script > tag (doh).

Hi - This is definitely a bodge job as I don't know any vb, js or asp, but I've found a way to fix the time zone problem, so this should work for anyone else with the same problem.

Just open the Default.aspx file in the attachment, browse to the TimeOffset variable I added (code is commented to make finding the variable easy) and change the value in hours accordingly.

The recording time was also a little out of sync so I changed that also, if that isn't fixed, open RecordProg.aspx, find the RecordOffset variable I added and change the time accordingly (in minutes).

The recordOffset will need to be changed if the correct program is showing in upcoming recordings in the web manager, but the wrong recording is showing up in the btv application (most easy to spot when recording short programs).

Hope the author doesn't mind me making these tiny changes. Let me know if this works for you.

Hi,
This plugin appears to be just what I need, however it doesn't work with the Webadmin in BTV4.6.1
The guide displays properly, but scheduling fails. I always get the following error.

Thanks Much,
