bleb2tie v02.01

bleb2tie version 02.01 released.
This version adds the option to include the program description in EPG data collected for ITV TV stations. Error handling when a days EPG data is missing from bleb.org has also been improved

bleb2tie is still designed to complement rt2mei by providing Radio station EPG data but from v02.00 will also provide TV station EPG data if required. This is intended for use if the Radio Times data is unavailable.

Change log:
bleb2tie.php changed to:
1)Suppress error messages when a days EPG data is missing from bleb.org and output descriptive warning message only unless in verbose mode.
2)Optionally get program descriptions for ITV TV stations. NOTE: this increases the run time for bleb2tie.php considerably (eg: on a 1Mb connection the time for all four ITV stations is approx 8 mins)
3)New example bleb2tie.cfg (includes option to get ITV descriptions)

If you are using an earlier version, you are advised to upgrade.
To upgrade: unzip the release file and replace your existing bleb2tie.php with the bleb2tie.php you have unzipped.

bleb2tie v01.02 - coming soon

A new version of bleb2tie that fixes the problems with BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra plus other improvements is on its way...

Also included will be an example of a "rt2mei" script (for running on a NSLU2 or Asus). This has been modified to run bleb2tie after rt2mei and append the Radio EPG to your MyStuff.mei.

I will no longer be supporting bleb2tgd and I have removed the download.
