    Generate a complete xmcache.ini

    I am posting here because RR is the only front-end I use and I don't know if xmcache is used in other front ends. If this is the wrong place, let me know and I will ask the admin to move the thread.

    Since I got sick of the xmcache.ini file being out of date, I just wrote a quick tool to take the lineup page created from xmradio.com and generate a corresponding xmcache.ini file.

    The instructions (which come up first when you run it) are:

    Code:
    Go to: http://www.xmradio.com/onxm/full-channel-listing.xmc
     and save the web page by using <Alt>-F, Save As...
     The filename must be "XM Channel Lineup.htm"
     Run this tool in the same file as where you save the HTM file
     The file xmcache.ini will be created as the output file.
     Place this file in the RoadRunner folder.
    
    Hit any key to start processing the HTM file...
    I have an exe, but would like someone else to test it before I post it. If you're interested, please email me and I'll send you the exe.

    So far the second version is working for others. Are you running Windows Vista? I haven't tested it on Vista.

    Try moving the exe and the .htm file to C:\ and running it from a DOS command box.

    If anyone tried sending me email since this past weekend, it probably got lost. So count on me never seeing it. I am back up now.

    Here is the latest XMCache.exe util to generate the .ini file.

    Updated XMCache generator

    Last night I decided I didn't like how you had to first go to the XM site and get the HTML page manually, so I modified the tool to do it for you. Now, just run the attached XMCache.exe in a DOS box and it will automatically connect and generate the XMcache.ini file in the same directory.

    Let me know if there's any problems.

    Here's a sample output:
    Code:
    N:\XMCache\XMCache\Release>XMCache
    IP is 209.170.118.10
    Query is:
    <<START>>
    GET /onxm/full-channel-listing.xmc HTTP/1.0
    Host: www.xmradio.com
    User-Agent: HTMLGET 1.0
    
    <<END>>
    Done...wrote 194 channels
