NextPVR + dvbguide (xmltv) crashes on opening details

[V_J]

Hello,

I'm trying to use NextPVR with dvbguide to provide me an xmltv file. My batch file in the script looks like this:
-
cd C:\Applications\dvbguide096beta
dvbguide -aT -fX -c730000
-

When I select xmltv as an option in the details of a channel, select
-
XMLTV
C:\Applications\dvbguide096beta\dvbepg.xml
-
However, the mapping field stays blank, the drop down box is empty. I can close the dialog box with OK. If I then open the details for this channel, an unhandled exception pops up, the details are below:
-
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

What I am doing wrong?

The reason I want to use dvbguide is that I have some channels on a different carrier frequecy that are full HD versions of other channels. That carrier frequency does not contain EPG, so I use DVBguide to get the epg for the carrier frequency that has epg but not the full hd channels and was hoping to select the non-hd channel in the mapping.

Thanks,

Jörg

If you supply the xmltv file, I can check it out for you. I'm out of town for a couple of days, but if you post the file Monday, I'll take a look.

[peejay]

This may be a silly question.
Have you manually run the program to generate an xmltv file before trying to set it up in NextPVR?

peejay: not a silly question, but yes, I ran the program manually and the xml file exists. :-)

sub: I will upload the file in tomorrow or in the weekend.

[Reddwarf]

I seem to remember that you have to use version .95 and not .96 with npvr, something about the xml version in the output file header. Or is this fixed?

[V_J]

I'll try it today or this weekend and report back. I'll also post the xml file generated by .96 then.

[V_J]

It works without problems with dvbguide .95 beta!
Thanks RedDwarf! :-)

I have attached the xml file generated by 0.96 beta. In my post I used the wrong frequency (730000), the one that does not have EPG info (caught in files: problem_*); I wanted to get the EPG info from frequency 690000 (other xml files in the zip). I have tried it it with both frequencies, and it yields the same result as described in my first post. Both files were obtained with dvbguide -aT -fX
When generating the xml file with dvbguide .95 beta, there is no problem and it all works as it should.
