I have searched high and low and can't find any info on the tvvi file format. Is there an actual spec? I know it is from TitanTV, but I can't find any technical info on their site either!
It's a simple xml file:
<tv-program-info version="1.0">
<program>
<station>stationname</station>
<tv-mode>cable</tv-mode>
<program-title>title</program-title>
<start-date>20040705</start-date>
<start-time>05:00</star-time>
<end-date>20040705</end-date>
<end-time>05:30</end-time>
<duration>00:30</duration>
<rf-channel>channel</rf-channel>
</program>
</tv-program-info>
I think you may include other data as well, but that's the minimum as I understand it.
I included sample values for the times/dates to demonstrate the format.
tvvi is the extension to use to VIEW
tvpi is the extension to use to PROGRAM
Hope this helps
