Can this be used for Sky Go?

Post by andyroe208 »

I have an idea that would really work for several people I know and i would like to know if it is possible that Rainmeter can help. I am currently making a TV listings page for Sky Sports and as some of you may know there is a remote record function but this would obviously mean you have to be logged in, I have managed to create the listings page but as of yet can not get it to log into sky sports. does anyone know if this is possible and if so how would I go about it.

Many thanks

Andy

the WebParser in Rainmeter cannot handle Post information, so the data must be accessible publicly via a link.
If Sky Go publishes your list somewhere in a public area you can access these information via the rainmeter webparser

That's not completely true. If the website you want to parse contains scripts that build the actual html to be displayed in your browser, WebParser might not be able to parse the information you want, even if you can access the site without any authentication.
Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!
