It's a damn good question.

That feed that has the themes isn't what they are using for the new schedule though. The feed for the new schedule is without the themes and also has less technical info. This seems all but forgotten around here, but to make it easier to figure out, I am dumping the contents of that older feed out to a webpage each night, as-is (link 1). Also now I am doing the same for the newer feed - which is what goes to the new official schedule (link 2). The data feed used to make the second link is actually what they use for the Daily schedule now, but the Monthly schedule is currently just a subset of that (data is the same). You can pull both up and see there are some other differences in style too (no more trailing articles, different date format, etc). edit: added in "theme" from old feed https://www.moviecollectoroh.com/nightly/sched.htm https://www.moviecollectoroh.com/nightly/sched-new.htm

circa Feb 2010. Neither here nor there though.

Ahh yes. The lovely Deela. What a quandry the Captain must have been in at that moment, but not for very long. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Deela_(Scalosian) Infertility due to radiation poisoning. Depending on radiation source, this may have helped. Not only would it have made a great Star Trek prop, it also works. https://www.gigahertz-solutions.de/en/measurement/high-frequency/meters/312/hf35c

Where's Dargo?

I PM'd you on this, a bit drawn out and tedious for here.

Here. Bookmark this. October through December. And then January in due time, if it is meant to be. https://www.moviecollectoroh.com/nightly/sched.htm P.S. and if you don't like that, here are older saved copies of Nov and Dec. But they are already or will someday be obsolete: Nov https://moviecollectoroh.com/pics_to_hotlink_on_TCM/broadcast_2020_11_pulled_2020_09_28.html Dec https://moviecollectoroh.com/pics_to_hotlink_on_TCM/broadcast_2020_12_pulled_2020_09_28.html

For my own purposes in defining a short, I use an "or" clause with genre and duration. Genre must include "Short" or Duration must be < 45 min. This is along with using IMDB info.

Speaking of hints, what ever happened to side-by-side testing before going live with a new site? Adobe wanted to get rid of Flash. The only thing keeping it around is longer-standing websites that still use it. For some that use it more intensively, it is not easy to phase out. I am able to see every little thing that the operating system on my computer updates, and it still updates Flash Player about once or twice a year for security updates. The old schedules, the old forum, and the old database search engine didn't rely on Flash. That is about as much as I ever looked at. Still no word on any search engine for the "TCM database". There was indeed a Flash element on the top of the old TCM home page for playing video ads or something. That was just one element though. Maybe another was used for the streaming video page? So no, that doesn't justify the need for a gross overhaul, and right in front of the customers. This is management-driven. On the plus side, I can tell that someone has been working on the schedule data source - though it works different now, and isn't something you can readily see on the site. It is looking more organized now than earlier this month. The size of the data is much smaller, more in line with the content that should be there. Before, it was 6.3MB in size for the months of Oct-Dec, with much redundancy on some of the entries. Now at about 860KB, about 1/7 the size, I don't see redundancy with a quick visual scan. It seems they have a handle on that. It is now missing December though. So their plan for the end result could be for it to only look ahead by one month. That is just based on what I see right now. Any of that could change on a whim. It would be nice to still have the current month + 3 future months available for customer viewing. I don't have any thoughts on the page header you see. Yes the TZ is broken on the new schedule.

Yeah, what txfilmfan said. Don't just post on social media, bomb the hell out of them over there. Put them into damage control mode.

I'll wait till it shows up in a vetted software distribution channel. I can't see Debian including it, but maybe Ubuntu (based on Debian). Ubuntu is more corporate-oriented and Linux Mint (my distro) is based on that, though they pull in the reins some from Ubuntu. It will probably show up first in Red Hat though.

Thanks for the example. Here are some snippets from the actual source data, in Eastern Standard Time, before it reaches the display elements/logic of this website. "Name": "Personal Property", "StartDate": "10/08/2020 04:45:00 pm", "EndDate": "10/08/2020 06:15:00 pm", "Name": "Bombshell", "StartDate": "10/08/2020 06:15:00 pm", "EndDate": "10/08/2020 08:00:00 pm", "Name": "The Front Page", "StartDate": "10/08/2020 08:00:00 pm", "EndDate": "10/08/2020 10:00:00 pm", Based on this account and Cmovieviewer's, it sounds as if they are missing the usual TZ offset, plus the less common difference between those regions that observe Daylight Savings Time, and those that do not (cmoviewer - it sounds as if your zone does not).

The times are currently provided in EST TZ in the data source. Could it be some bad client-side JS that doesn't properly account for the EST "spring forward" and "fall behind" - thus throwing off other areas of the country? As you say, there is not much that that the TCM viewer could (or should have to) do about it. Assuming that absolutely nothing is done about this, it might correct itself, for a while at least, the first Sunday of November. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Time_Zone

Sounds like scripting that either Edge can't process (by now I think Edge is just rebranded Chromium), or else maybe it's targeted fallback code for Edge- perhaps to account for the period of transition from proprietary MS to Chromium.

You're welcome!

Crap... RIP

Two words: common core.

I've always seen two systems up and running at the same time too during an upgrade, it is just common sense. Even if the old and/or new system has to have reduced capacity - such as in a production environment that requires multiple operators and may be short on people or space, or people taking time out to train on the new system. Which wouldn't be the case here. This appears to me to be a heavy-handed case of a strict timeline being followed, top down. That may be what management wants, but not at all the way software works in the real world. At least they are a media company selling different brands of fantasy, not jet engines and MRI equipment.

I wouldn't say that. It is just a matter of whether or not this will still be in use. Hint: This is live right now.

Well, have another look in...oh, say...another month... And we'll see about that. (actually I'm not sure either)

Have you seen mine, I mean really scrolled down to the bottom?

How is that any different from right now? I went into an Old Navy recently and they still have pre-mutilated blue jean-wear. The ones in your pic look like they were first masterfully cut with scissors, then gone over gently with wire brush wheel of a grinder. The ones I saw looked like they spent more time under the wire brush wheel and no scissors. Retailers are literally pushing garbage, and somebody somewhere is buying it.

It does. 😁

New link, same accuracy as before. https://www.moviecollectoroh.com/nightly/sched.htm
