Is it possible that yahoo (I think thats what is used) changed their format of information?

they havent changed the format as far as i can tell and i've got the source open right now. It seems that theaters arent reporting the times. I'll check into it some more.

what zip code are you looking in? what theater and movie?

any movie...I just tried Indiana Jones and no movie times showed up...

btw...great plugin....thanks for looking in to this...

well the times are there.. time to look for a bug in my software

found bug fixed bug... also fixed the bug of the first movie time not displaying, also FINALLY have custom lists working so movie details are scrollable. Update coming soon.

any update on this?

i will hopefully get a new version by the end of the week. I have a pretty hectic schedule though because i'm goin on vacation next week.

Cool...thanks sonic!

Ok lets see if this new version will work better for the masses. Changes include:

-fixed time display bug: For movies that had more than 10 movie times the movie time data never displayed properly
-increased movietime# limit to 20: forgot this in documentation but now instead of 10 max movie times displayed there are now 20
-fixed first movietime not displaying
-thanks to johnwpb.. fixed the custom list for movie information. You can now use a custom list in road runner to display the movie details. However you MUST first define a variable in rr.ini or skin.ini called MOVIETIMESINFOCHARSPLIT. this variable must be an integer indicating how many characters are displayed on each line of the custom list. For example, the sample skin displays 80 characters per line, so the skin.ini for hte same skin reads MOVIETIMESINFOCHARSPLIT=80. play with this number to make the info fit your skin, but be ware that setting this number to a low number will cause rr to freeze. I recommend a minimal integer of 40 but to each is own.
-Added a command MOVIETIMESLISTCOMPLETE. this is an event-driven command that will do nothing unless you define an action for it in exectbl.ini. Primary use of this command is to close pop-up "loading skins" once the custom lists in the plugin have finished there processing.
