Summary: Time out bug?

Initial Comment:
When using XMLTV on me Win 98SE to download listings it
crashes/times out when trying to list more than 7
channels and more than 4 days. I Would like to this to
it's 14 day limit and 60 channels. How do I work around
this

you may want to contact the Pocket TV author for a way to
read a XMLTV file directly to give more flexibility.

I don't see the bug being fixed anytime soon.  

I don't have a Win98 box anymore to work on it, but it seems
to be an issue with Perl core or the SOAP modules.  No one
on the SOAP list has seen the problem though.

I'm having a mental burp. I should have explained, I am
using XMLTV and Palm program Pocket TV Browser. It now
handles most everything internally. So I do not have the
batch files to modify.

I guess I'll have to wait till the perl.exe can be fixed.
Thanks for listening and helping.

You mention this as a timeout.. the old issue caused a Dr.
Watson crash of perl.exe.

Here is the code that grabs 14 days 2 days at a time.  The
problem was load based, so if you can grab 6 days, you can
simplify it.

tv_grab_na_dd --days 2 --offset 0    --output 1.xml
tv_grab_na_dd --days 2 --offset 2    --output 2.xml
tv_grab_na_dd --days 2 --offset 4    --output 3.xml
tv_grab_na_dd --days 2 --offset 6    --output 4.xml
tv_grab_na_dd --days 2 --offset 8    --output 5.xml
tv_grab_na_dd --days 2 --offset 10  --output 6.xml
tv_grab_na_dd --days 1 --offset 12  --output 7.xml
tv_cat 1.xml 2.xml 3.xml 4.xml 5.xml 6.xml 7.xml >listings.xml

I went to the message and saw no workaround. Am I so dumb I
cannot see it or has it scrolled away?

are you running the latest version of XMLTV (0.5.36)

It was hopped that the problem would be fixed now.

There are work-arounds in another ticket
