Well, thank you, Mr. Negativity. I admit, it's not that useful for long-term scheduling, because it is only 24 hours in advance. However, there might be other short term information within the stream that could be used.
If they put out the current time of day in the signal, then it might be a more accurate time than NTP - even with NTP running, I have to record an extra minute before and after my desired show because of the clock difference. Perhaps it could be used as a way of updating the listings that come from Zap2It, due to last minute lineup changes. For instance, if a baseball game is scheduled for three and a half hours, but it's a pitchers' dual, and only lasts two and a half hours, then the networks fill in that extra space with something. Maybe the listing will be updated, and the TV viewer would know about it. If there's information on the current show in that stream, maybe MythTV could use it. I've seen several times where Zap2It had the wrong program description. Those are just three of the uses I can think of, off the top of my head. And please don't say, "submit a patch, then", because: A) I'm not interested in this feature right now (though if what was in the stream was documented somewhere, and it was in my local viewing area, I might be), and B) I'm sick of hearing you say it in such a rude way (mostly on the dev list). -- Joe --- Donavan Stanley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 4/20/05, Joe Votour <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Short answer - it's not going to work right now. > > Of course the big question would be "why on earth > would you want this?". > _______________________________________________ > mythtv-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
