someone is emailing me today from entertainment.ie

he was not aware of the request or anyone he has spoken to doesn not know about the request. He is more concerned about who put in the request rather than the app itself.

u could b getting in trouble for a different reason now. maybe you've dropped an entertainment.ie staff member in deep sh1t, sounds like no ones owning up to reporting you in the first place. i'd say they'll see the error of their way and just shut up about it!

h57xiucj2z946q

dunno, but i'll continue to leave it up until I hear more.

The application has been unlisted from hostj2me.com.

We understand and agree with your position. Indeed what the application does
is no different from a specialized browser or even some WAP gateways.
Furthermore Internet Archive, Google, and many other companies regular
spider, copy and index copyrighted information on an enormous scale.



Unfortunately we do not have enough resources to effectively fight them on
the issue and will have to remove the application by COB tomorrow. Our
servers are based in the US and we face litigation and possible shutdown if
we do not comply.



There are some other sites similar to ours where you can try hosting the
application.

http://developer.getmidlet.com <http://developer.getmidlet.com/&gt;



You could try to work out a content sharing agreement with entertainment.ie
or modify the application to use a different data source. I mentioned to
entertainment.ie the popularity and interest in the application. We would
like to see a happy ending to all of this.

The person identified themselves as Julian Douglas. It is possible someone
spoofed the request. We have had groundless requests in the past from individuals who were apparently motivated by nefarious reasons. Ask Dave if
he can verify the request with Julian.

I havent heard anything yet. They made it seem like it was a high priority issue but now they are being unresponsive. Julian has not responded to the email I sent him on last Thursday.

I set the application to private. It will no longer appear in the directory listing. I am traveling at the moment. Lets leave it like it is and play it by ear. Let me know if your contact ever gets back to you.


i myself have also emailed entertainment.ie to see if we can come to some agreement last thursday but no reply yet. For now people won't be able to download and install the jar however for thoes that already have it installed, the parser is still up for now if there is high enough demand :-)

h57xiucj2z946q

me nor hostj2me have gotten a reply from entertainment.ie, so for now, the jar's are hosted on my free hosting at: http://damohere.freehostia.com

sounds very dodgy, could get yourself in a lot of trouble here

Brianb8802

Sounds more dodgy that entertainment.ie havent got back to him or the hosting company in two weeks

Hey man this is no longer working for Dublin cinemas any chance of a fix?

h57xiucj2z946q

I'll take a look, entertainment .ie changed the page slightly for Dublin cinemas...

h57xiucj2z946q

Everything should be working again.. no need to download a new jar.

Didn't know people were still using this application!

Cabaal

this reminds me of a script I had setup to ripp info from digiguide.com when they had listings on-line, it took about a week before they e-mailed me and said they wanted the script taken down or else.

In fairness to them they did offer a workable alternative which I was happy with

h57xiucj2z946q

I haven't heard from them since April, so I guess they no longer care. If people find the app useful, then all is good.

Yeah its a great app man very handy i know a few people that use it, can you send me a copy of the updated script or what change you made as I run it on my own server. Thanks.

I think there were a few others not working as well like cork.

You didn't by anychance use that stream to power a desktop widget did you? Had a very handy one years ago and then the feed went dead one day.

No just a pearl script is all, it automatically displayed TV listings based on set keywords, digiguide just gave me one that could be inbeded in a webpage

h57xiucj2z946q

A tv listing guide would be handy to have also.

If anyone hosts this, you may care to share it with the public in case my parser of freehostia goes down?

Davy

Can you select the next day for the cinema times? Chances of putting it in?

Might as well host this to help out

h57xiucj2z946q

cheers Cabaal.

Davton, the listings are as you see them on entertainment.ie, they usually are for the week, friday to next thrusday.

h57xiucj2z946q

cool, thanks jmccrohan.

h57xiucj2z946q

do many people still use this?

Fresh Pots

I use it at least once a week, very useful. U not thinking of scraping it are you?!?!

h57xiucj2z946q

no but I have left it in beta phaze as I wasn't getting any feedback and thought it wasn't used anymore.

Fresh Pots

maybe it would be an idea to add a poll to this thread and ask do people use it. the majority of people who use it use this site so you probably would get quite an accuate answer

h57xiucj2z946q

ah i'll just leave it up anyway. if my free hosting goes, its possible to host the parser on other serves anyway.

Sam Vimes

you should check your server logs every now and then to see if any requests are being made for it.

would i be able to get a copy of the parser from you?
