Portable Program Guide changelog

Portable Program Guide or PPG is a homebrew application for the Sony PSP that is capable of providing users with TV programming schedules while on the go. It was created by the team of Seb, Cladil, and Quadrizo.

We just learned that the coder Seb has released a new build, pushing the program up to version 0.22. Note that while this was created by French coders, you can still use this with any schedules from any country since it uses xmltv TV listing files.

According to Seb, this particular build comes with just one improvement which is the justification of text to right and left. Despite that, you should still get this latest version since it provides major bug fixes found on previous builds.

The coder explained that version 0.22 fixes the bug that concerns displaying the summary as well as the bug that makes the TV channels lost when changing the type of program in the TNT or the freebox.

All in all, this version is a must have for all followers of the application PPG. Keep checking back here at QJ.NET for more homebrew updates.

The first release was only a few days old, but homebrew developers Seb and Cladil managed to release an update to their PSP homebrew, Portable Program Guide, or PPG. There are several new additions, tweaks and fixes to this handy Program Guide for the PSP, which makes use of xmltv data.

The Portable Program Guide is built from scratch with the French users in mind, however since this makes use of xmltv TV listing files (which includes TV programming for North America, Australia, Britain, among other countries) it can actually support programming from whatever countries xmltv supports. The homebrew developer will make sure that future releases of this 'brew will be friendlier to non-French users, however.
