First off- here's what I'm talking about
:
EyeTV from the Web . It's a pretty nifty little PHP script that goes through ones EyeTV folder, reads the XML files that describe each recording (past and future), and puts out a webpage with download links. It's particularly nifty for those with a LAN to see their EyeTV shows anywhere.
I'm trying to fix a glitch in it's behavior- here's what happens. If I tell EyeTV to record something on October 1 at 10PM, it notes the record time in an XML file as October 2 at 03:00Z. The EyeTV software obviously looks at what timezone you're in (per Date and Time) and adjusts it's recording times to match. I'm the difference between 10P Dec1 and 3A Dec 2 is my -5 hour offset from GMT.
When EyeTV FTW parses the XML file for the show, it takes everything literally. That means it writes out pages that say my 10P show starts at -2:00 on October 2. Nope.
I've contacted the original authors, but was just wondering if there are any other EyeTV users who have better PHP skills than me and an interest in tweaking this script. Maybe someone will learn about it's existence and get interested from this.
