Two things I need to know

[sub]

Just tried with a single file and it says no recordings imported :-(

Post the file you created and I'll tell you what is wrong with it.

Alas I still cannot get NextPVR to recognise my file as full of valid entries. It always comes back with 0 records imported. Is there a log file for this that might give me more information?

[Tre4Bax]

This is the complete file generated for a single recording, this is the version with the OID entries removed as I'm told NextPVR generates these anyway. With fake OIDs in place it still did not import anything.

It's failing to import it because your date/time formats are wrong. It expects them to look like this:

Code:

2013-03-29T05:08:55.0000000Z

Yours looks like this:

Code:

2013-2-26T19.57.00.0000000Z

ie, you've used periods in the time when it should be colons.

[Tre4Bax]

Rats, can mod that easily enough :-) too close to see it!

I'm also playing with the channel exports but the XML does not seem to be right in those files. It doesn't load cleanly in IE or it appears as a system.xml document. Any ideas?

[sub]

If you zip and attach the file, I'll check it out.

[Tre4Bax]

Okay time format now changed to

2013-02-26T19:57:00.0000000Z

but still won't import so there must be something else too :-(

[Tre4Bax]

Okay, Hopefully that is attached. Both of the files show in IE as a complete block of text filling the page rather than as xml that you can open and close bits of. I think that is because it is not reading it, but I also think it is fussy and may not read it without the preceeding XML version line. Whatever it is I can't get the Document to load in C#.

I'm not seeing anything that might indicate channel encryption in the xml, do you happen to know if it can be seen. I noticed it was detected when I scanned the channels.

There are several places in the files where you have just "&" rather than "&amp;". This makes my XML reader (XML Notepad) barf.

Using Notepad++ I replaced the "&" with "&amp;" and then replaced "&amp;amp;" with "&amp;" (to undo the places where the first replace doubled them), and now both load fine in XML Notepad and IE. Can't say whether they're ok for NPVR, don't want to try it on my live system.

I'm trying to import my Mediacenter recordings into NextPVR. .....

Did you find http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?....VidImport

It might help to get the files loaded into the database so that you can create/export a recording list and edit that to get subtitle data into the db.
