Limiting XMLTV file to next 7 days only

Post by b00sfuk » Mon Jan 17, 2011 9:52 pm

Alan, just helping sub in the GB-PVR forums improve the support for Digiguide data imported into GB-PVR (and NPVR) using XMLTVGUI and have noticed a issue with my XMLTV file.

I use the grab command "XmltvConsole.exe /D7" to restrict to the next 7 days but my XMLTV file includes data for the last 7 days as well as the next 7. I can't think of a need for this and it would be nice to halve the size of the file. Is this working as designed? I seem to remember that the Digiguide grabber does download all the data anyway but still should only include future records.

Thanks again.

done:

note that if max days is not specified it will still write historical data

Alan, thanks again, just confirming all working fine. Got a little confused initially as I have XMLTVConsole.exe in my batch file and that had not been updated (running XMLTVGUI.exe now in batch file OK).
