NFL Sunday Ticket

Alright I'm going to have to try out the plugin then. . .:P

tv.msn.com and Snapstream both have the guide data as well.
MSN i think is doing a complex grep / search to find the same show/program ID across multiple channels / lineups to fill in data when it doesn't exist, becaue I know for a fact that they are also using Tribune feeds. For all you nerds out there you can see the calls they use below, and I'd be willing to bet that you might be able to also use this as a backup / URL web-service for something in a plugin or editing the Schedules direct plugin/config so that you could augment / customize to your own accord.

Hacking away at the site, I see a web-service/JSON-P request URL like:

http://mediaservices.msn.com/Discove...FetcherError24

With a response of (pretty printed, but truncated for brevity):

If the station and program ids returned were the Tribune/Zap2It/Schedules Direct/Sage ids then we'd be onto something. But otherwise the key parts are missing. The more interesting thing is how does MSN know which game goes on which (Sunday Ticket) channel? That's the really important part. My guess is they're doing nothing any different than what Schedules Direct is doing for DirecTV (whatever that is). For Shaw Direct, I'm feeding Schedules Direct a data structure that I build each week from reading the data off my receiver's EPG -- it's the only place to find out which game is on which channel. I update a web site, which Schedules Direct then pulls from and does its magic on the backend to update the channel info each week.

I used to have my own local script I injected into my sdepg plugin that would allow me to set the games each week. This works fine, except on the weeks when the games were also on my local CBS/FOX/etc. affiliates. In those cases, if I didn't generate the same program id as was being used on CBS/FOX then Sage would, of course, choose to record both airings. So then we came up with the above, which we now do instead. The added benefit is that all Shaw Direct lineup users get the game data.

The tough part in all of this is determining which game goes on which channel. Once you're able to do that reliably, the rest is a non issue.

Just noticed that the Sunday Ticket channels are in that json response, with the game data. Yeah, ok, you could script something against the Sage EPG to set the game data for sure. Hell, with that data structure it really wouldn't be much effort at all. The only issue you have to overcome is matching up the program ids with anything already in your EPG from local channels to avoid double recordings. But even that's not overly difficult if given the proper attention. So, yeah, just for Sunday Ticket game info you definitely don't need my plugin/Schedules Direct (as long as you're willing to do a bit of coding to glue it all together).

So, all of the sunday ticket channels were added as "new" on my regular lineup and they all have the game data. I didn't do anything. Odd, but awesome. I'm wondering if my regular sage server grabbed the info from my extra sage server that has the SD guide? Either way, I don't have to mess with any workarounds, so I'm very happy.
