xAP TV Update

[James Traynor <james@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have just uploaded an updated xAPTV. You can download it here
www.mi4.biz/downloads/xaptv.zip

What it used to do
------------------
Get data from any XMLTV source or from bleb.org
Create alerts based on title,channel,description and get those alerts
displayed on a xAP display device
Simple gui for viewing whats on
Outputs what's currently on and whats next over xAP for each channel

What it now does
------------------
all of the above
Defaults to get channel data from the Radio Times. This is a great
source for channel data in the UK. It has a large list of channels and
is quick to download. (See channel list below)
Upcoming triggers are now sent over xAP
From xAP you can search for programmes
From xAP you can request the now/next to be re-sent
From xAP you can request the triggers to be re-sent
and the big change...
Full web interface!
The homepage shows all of the channels and whats currently on and what's
on next
Clicking on each channel gives you the daily list for that channel for
both today and upcoming days.
From the homepage you can select to view upcoming triggers
In the settings section you can add/edit/delete the filters that make up
the triggers. This is a password protected area, username admin ,
default password is the machine name.
You can search by programme name or description.
An XML rss feed is available for the current programme lists, see the
XML button on the homepage.
If you use Firefox 1.0pr+ then when on the home page an XML link appears
in the status bar for allowing a quick setup of a "live bookmark"
The  url/port for the webserver is given in the top left box of xAP TV
at startup.
Password, port and other settings can be changed in the xAPTV.txt file.


To use the update.
-------------------
You probably want to switch to the Radio Times data source if possible.
The best way to do this is to extract the downloaded zip to a new
directory, then run the exe. Once loaded click Configure RT. Now select
the channels you want and click save. Click Get New Listings and you're
up and running.
If you want to transfer over your triggers from your old xAPTV to the
new one, firstly close xAPTV.  Open both the xaptv.txt from the old and
new versions and copy over any trigger= line to the new xaptv.txt. Now
restart xAPTV - All done.
If you want to stick to an existing XMLTV or bleb feed then just extract
the zip over you existing install.
If you have been using any of the test Radio Times releases then just
overwrite the exe.
