EPG number of days

[pcostanza]

sub, after tonite's EPG update, I'm back to only about 5 days. I've zipped the xlmtv and the db3 files and since it's a bit larger than 6mb, I uploaded to my SkyDrive. You can get it here
I then deleted the .dat file and ran MC2XML again and got the same thing. I'm going to try a few other things in the meantime.

Added the -d 360 to the MS Legacy option and only got 7 days. Added it using SD and still only got 7 days. The MS Legacy gives a much larger xmltv file....about twice the size but nothing more than 7 days.

From your other posts, it sounds like your problem is your xmltv grabber rather than NPVR, so I'll hold off looking at it until you're getting all the days you're asking for in your xmltv file.

I tried another grabber, XMLTV GUI and it's xml file was much, much larger but I still only got 7 days of guide info. In the Settings, Channels menu, it spit out an error so I went back and used MC2XML and SD and no longer get an error but still only get 7 days. What worked for me a few days ago, by starting over and deleting the .dat file, is no longer working.
Anyone else have another grabber to suggest?
EDIT: I also went back to the old, plain xmltv and grabbed the listings the tedious way with no difference. However, I tried the same xml file on my system at work and it shows a full 15 days of listings. I must have something configured wrong on both systems at home but if that would be the case, why was I able to get 15 days of listings 2 days ago after I removed the .dat file from MC2XML and started over? I'm more confused than ever on what is wrong. This is why I often say my system is haunted. :eek:

Email me that xmltv file.

Email me that xmltv file.

Which one? I have one on my SkyDrive that's listed in post 21.
I posted so many times, even I'm confused as to where I am. Let me know which one you want and I'll get it to you.

Is that the one that's throwing the error in post 24?

Ah, no, it was one generated by XMLTV GUI, which I never use but tried as a last resort. It's at home but I'll see if I can generate the same problem on my system at work and send it to you. If not, I'll do so when I get home tonite.
In reality, as long as each day, I'm getting EPG updates and it keeps 5-7 days, I can live with that.
Also, it should be noted that I used the same XML file that is only giving me 7 days from MC2XML in NVPR and used it in GBPVR and got 15 days of listings. Didn't update, just changed GBPVR's EPG choice from SD to XMLTV, pointed to the file MC2XML generated and it worked.

Thanks for that. Is that with SD or MS Legacy? Anything else added? I had no luck at all but may try again.

it was with schedules direct

William, I was able to reproduce the error using XMLTV GUI on my work system and have uploaded a 9 mb file to Skydrive (listed as xmltv) To be clear, i get this error when I go to the Settings/ Channels and then highlight a channel and choose Details. Once this error pops up, if I click OK, the Channel details dialogue box does pop up. And, as the file generated by XMLTV GUI is much larger, I would only guess it should have everything I need to have 15 days of listings.
