Have a look at http://www.foxtel.com.au/TVGuide.aspx
Select a channel in the left hand box, say discovery, hit GO.
I want to import the data from the web page.
I used to be able to until they changed the format recently.
I now cant even see the program info with a view source.
There appears to be a block of encrypted stuff down the
bottom which is about the right size for the program data.
Anyone got any ideas about how to unencrypt it ? 33 1484

Dunno if I followed your instructions correctly, but on Mozilla 1.7 it opens
a Flash type file which plays an ad for the Discovery channel. Runs in a
loop.
Is this what you mean?

Nope, its one of the national PayTV operations.
That is the best of the TV guides for those channels,
particularly the detail like the episode title etc.

Yep. There is a bunch of excrypted looking stiff inside a function call to a
javacript function cv.
Where does cv live?
Well, look just above that. There is a language="javascript" link to a
src="jscript.aspx". this would be an ASP server side routine.
If you try a view source on this link you will get "Cheating Not Good". Real
Funny :-)
But wait, if you look there are some parameters to that link. Add the
parameters and we obtain an eval expression. Here is the first bit:
eval(unescape("%66%75%6E%63%74%
This no doubt creates the cv function.
The parameters are the interesting thing. You can bet that they are randomly
generated and encrypted for each access to the page. Then, in the call to
the ASP routine they would be descrypted and used to seed an individual cv
function, tailored to descript the data on that particular instance of the
page.
Looks like a quite good "content protection" thing. Well thought out. They
obviously don't want anybody hotlinking to their content and stealing it, as
is their right considering they hold the copyright to said material :-)

There are any number of ways. For a start copy/paste this into your address

javascript :alert(document.getElementById("tblCellT VGuideResults").innerHTML)
It'll show you the HTML contents of that table cell :-)

just because its bigger and that does have that TVGuideResults text in the header.

Oddly enough a more limited program guide in pdf format in the

It seems that the decryption function changes name too. In my current
load of the page, it's called "kt".
To see the "kt" function, simply write this in the address line:
javascript :kt
.... or replace "kt" with the name of the function in your page.
It's rather cryptic. Here is another function that decodes the string
(made without looking at their code, it confuzed more than it helped
anyway):
---
function decode(s) {
var buf = [], n=s.length, h=(n+1)>>1;
for(var i = 0; i<h ; i++) {
buf[i]=s.charAt(i*2+1);
buf[n-i]=s.charAt(i*2);
}
return buf.join("");
}
---
(I don't know whether it works with even length strings, I only had
an odd length string to test with).
You can't hide parts of a web page from the person who controls the

Interesting, thanks for that.
Not sure it helps with the particular problem of that particular web page tho.
The other ones are easy enough to import into access.
The problem is that the detail isnt as good, particularly
they lack the episode title and since I am using that to
keep track of what I have watched already, particularly
with the high level of repeats on the PayTV channels like
Discovery, I need more than just the series title for that.

Doesnt here, the clipboard just has that string in it, from when I pasted that to the address bar.
You *did* press Enter after you pasted that string to the address bar, didn't you?
Clicked the GO button, actually.
And javascript:cn worked fine there, to show me its code.
Worked fine this time tho, maybe it had timed out by the time I tried it the
last time. This time I got the normal display up in the usual way, then put that
javascript :window.clipboardData.setData('text',doc ument.getElementById("tblCellTVGuideResults").inne rText);void%200
into the address bar and it worked fine.
Thanks for that, have to consider whether its easier to do it like
that or to just capture the encoded text in the usual way and just
redo the decoding code into VBA and decode it myself.

Create a Favorites for it, or the Links toolbar, and then anytime you
need it it's only a click away to get it to the clipboard.
Have two pages open. Yours and the website. Copy it from the website,
paste it into your own Textarea, and then submit the form and have it
posted in a database for you.

I've got it all automated back in Access.
It goes and gets the specified number of days data for
the specified channels, from the specified web sites.
Most channel data comes from at least 2 web sites,
so it carrys on regardless with one web site down etc.
That was working fine with that foxtel site until they
decided to play silly buggers encrypting the data.
So its better to have the access app still get the
data from the websites completely automatically. This discussion thread is closed Replies have been disabled for this discussion. Similar topics
