Air date is not converting correctly to a Javascript date and show count is too 
low to display episodes.

Air date is now correctly converted to Javascript date and episode count allows 
for episodes to show in the list.

Fix will be rolled out with next release.

The current release (0.5) fixes the feed issue.

Hello, as for 2 weeks now the problem showed up in my gmail. The feed doesn't 
load at all. I didn't want to open a new issue, anyone having similiar problems?

Thanks for reporting niuxen and yep I've noticed this too, but I don't think 
I've seen it for as long though.

The issue:
MyEpisodes.com gets it's TV data from a site (tvrage.com) and it seems that 
they've stopped adding the "AirTime" field to a lot of the shows.

The fix:
Unfortunately, I don't have one yet but I've been looking into it. It's 
difficult since this gadget uses the "AirTime" field to order the shows as well 
as save them to your Google Calendar.

Will try to have a solution soon. Thanks again for reporting!

I've made a quick tweak/hack that inserts a default time of 18:00 for any 
show/episode that returns with an "AirTime" of "unknown" from the 
MyEpisodes/TVRage feed.

Hope this fixes the issue for now so that the gadget correctly renders, but 
will still explore how to acquire correct AirTimes and/or better ways to handle 
this feed error.

Thank you for the quick reply :-) Unfortunately after removing the gadget from 
Gmail and adding it back on still no change. I should mention it works without 
a problem in my Google Calendar.

I'm at Google I/O this week so won't have time to look into it until I return, 
but very interesting on your use of the gadget within Gmail. I've primarily 
focused on the gadget being used within Calendar, so would value any input on 
your use and potential improvement suggestions you might have for use within 
Gmail.

As for fixing it within Gmail, try clearing your browser cache and it should 
reload the new changes/fixes. If it doesn't let me know and will check it out.

Hi Kyle,
I tried clearing browser cache but it did not help. However, it worked in a 
different way and it's quite silly.

I've been using your gadget for so long and just now I noticed it's strictly 
for Google Calendar. I don't recall how I added it in first place in Gmail, but 
I've been using the 
https://my-episodes-2-ical.googlecode.com/files/myepisodes2ical-0.8.xml link 
from /Downloads in the Gmail 'Gadgets' settings tab for some time. It worked 
very well until about 2 weeks ago.

I checked the link you're using in the 'Add to Google Calendar' button 
(https://my-episodes-2-ical.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/myepisodes2ical.xml). This 
is the one working that I'm using in the Calendar. However I was still trying 
to make work the one mentioned earlier in the Gmail. Hence the difference I 
guess. For confirmation I'm adding the comparison screen. 

Thank you for your interest in the Gmail topic, it works wonderfully and 
absolutely nothing worse than in Google Calendar. Unfortunately there is an 
information like this on the bottom: "Add gadget by URL: (This lab is being 
phased out and will soon be removed)". I don't know if there's hope for the 
Gmail gadgets or another way to add this in the future. Shame really, as I 
don't use the Calendar as much as Gmail.

Thank you and have a nice week at the I/O,
Joanna

Hi Joanna,
First off, thanks for being a long time user and supporter of the gadget!

I have only kept the "old" version in the /Downloads section around because I 
haven't had time to make a good way to notify users to update to the new 
version using the "Add to Google Calendar" button. My main reasons for the 
switch was that Google is deprecating the /Downloads section soon (which means 
those files will no longer exist) and the new way gives me a repository with 
versioning. Thanks for adding your screenshots too! Was helpful in seeing how 
the gadget was being used in Gmail.

I'm interested in seeing about making the gadget flexible enough to work in 
either interface. I'll see what I can do in the near future on this. As for the 
text about the lab being removed soon. It is in reference to the lab on being 
able to manually copy/paste the link to a gadget into the text field to add the 
gadget to Gmail. It's said that message for a while if I remember correctly, 
but it doesn't mean gadgets themselves are being removed from Gmail.

Glad you were able to resolve and get the gadget working again in your Gmail. 
Feel free to post 'enhancement' requests to this project for tweaking the 
gadget to be more Gmail friendly. Once it's a bit better suited, I'll add an 
"Add to Gmail" button as well. Thanks for the idea!

I'm still looking into fixing the feed and presentation instead of hacking a 
default AirTime for the blank episodes. Now that you're using the updated 
gadget, it will auto-update for you. Keep and eye on the version number in the 
bottom left of the gadget for when updates/features roll out.

Thanks again!
- Kyle
