Hack of a project
March 1st, 2005
I ran into an error while developing my web-tivo (name pending). Apparently it wasn’t a time-out issue like Josh, Bones, and myself thought. It appears it may be an apache input error that has a limited size of input or something. Whatever it was, changing the timeout didn’t fix it. So instead of loading all the data at once, I chopped it up by channels and wrote a for loop in a batch file to loop through all the small xml and load each one into my webbrowser to parse, then close it with javascript. haha, I think this is so round-about. Whatever works I guess. But it takes like 4 minutes to load 2 days worth of TV Schedules into by database. So ghetto. Atleast I can move on with my project now.
