epg error- object reference not set to an instance of an object

[markosjal]

I have done that more times than I can count in the last few hours, and just did it again minutes ago.. I tried all the variations on the URL that I posted earlier too.

Did I not post the epg.xml earlier? Not seeing it.

You need to zip the file to attach it. It wont allow .xml files to be attached.

For the m3u file I see a missing port for the m3u

Downloading m3u http://raspberrypi.local/.../playlist.m3u8

Since I assume you are in North America fort ATSC you would need a VPN to get most mjh streams that could interfere with either the dns or the stream itself. Why not use the IP of the server for the m3u and xmltv file?

The port is NOT the issue the m8u8 is loading fine I may have typed a URL incorrectly. My URLs have been tested and retested , verified in a browser , copied and pasted into NextPVR. . If there were no m3u8 file the problem would be more than just  the guide.

Here is the epg file zipped.

It's an invalid xmltv file. The channels are all missing their name. (which is specified in a <display-name> tag)

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tv>
   <channel id="frndly-31" />
   <channel id="frndly-44" />
   <channel id="frndly-33" />
   <channel id="frndly-1" />
   <channel id="frndly-2" />
   <channel id="frndly-15" />
   <channel id="frndly-38" />
   <channel id="frndly-34" />
   <channel id="frndly-4" />
   <channel id="frndly-41" />
   <channel id="frndly-10" />
   <channel id="frndly-6" />
....

Normally they'd look something like this:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<tv>
  <channel id="I10436.labs.zap2it.com">
    <display-name>KERA</display-name>
    <icon src="file://C:\Perl\site/share/xmltv/icons/KERA.gif" />
  </channel>
  <channel id="I10759.labs.zap2it.com">
    <display-name>KTVT</display-name>
    <icon src="file://C:\Perl\site/share/xmltv/icons/KTVT.gif" />
  </channel>
....

This example also shows the <icon> tag, but this is not required. <display-name> is required.
