bug with & in channel name?

[jasjol]

I have a channel named "Discovery Travel & Living"

and it seems as GBPVR does not like the "&" letter

below is from my XMLTV file
[INDENT]</channel>
<channel id='nordic.travel.discovery.com'>
<display-name lang='sv'>Discovery Travel & Living</display-name>
</channel>
[/INDENT]
if I set a channel in GBPVR config with & no EPG data is loaded

if I change in the XMLTV manually to "Discovery Travel and Living"
[INDENT]</channel>
<channel id='nordic.travel.discovery.com'>
<display-name lang='sv'>Discovery Travel and Living</display-name>
</channel>
[/INDENT]
i.e. I change "&" to "and" and make this the channel name in GBPVR

- everything works and I get listings in TV guide


Is this a bug ?


or is there a way around this?

(except for me manually changing the XMLTV file everyday)

Is this a bug ?

Yes, this is a bug in your XMLTV grabber. Its actually illegal to have that character in an XML file. The grabber should be generating valid XML like below, which uses the correct &amp; escape code.

</channel>
<channel id='nordic.travel.discovery.com'>
<display-name lang='sv'>Discovery Travel &amp; Living</display-name>
</channel>

Doing this, GB-PVR will correctly show 'Discovery Travel & Living'
