Yet again, it is a problem with scaping the site. No one offers the movie showtimes in an RSS format. @Craig

Yes, I tried Fandango. Yet again, it is a problem with scaping the site. No one offers the movie showtimes in an RSS format.

Ever consider fandango? Had the same problem, movietickets.com does not have the theaters that are in the area.

Ever consider fandango?

Have you checked to see if the xml is good? Make sure you update you local mods.xml file to point same id that you used to test the dapper link. @Scott

What is the theater id you are using for dapper? Have you checked to see if the xml is good? Make sure you update you local mods.xml file to point same id that you used to test the dapper link.

I click on download and I see the download page. I click on the download and get a msg to the effect "can not find your xml file". I am guessing that a) the file on your end isn't there, or b) I was suppose to install the software someplace special (which, of course, I didn't) I don’t get it (literally)!?

Like I said I had a hard time getting it scrape right. It is still not very reliable. I have also tried to scrape google's movie listings as well still not very consistent. Sometimes I would try it and I would get the name, for one theater and not the other. Sometimes the showtimes were missing. I don't if the source is bad or if dapper is having problems. If you can find a better source or create a better dapp let me know. The two that I used are also non-ticketable theaters. Like I said I had a hard time getting it scrape right.

There is one tiny problem, it seems that for non ticketable theaters, the daper isn't picking up the name of the theater. I am trying to figure out how either the pocketmod or dapper could be modified to fix this. The movie pocket mod is great.
