Trying to import EPG - "Object Reference not set to an instance of an object"???

I found a lineup that didn't have multiple numbers in and it seemed to import correctly, thanks.

Last question, is it possible to arrange the channels in the EPG so "favorites" appear towards the top so you don't have to scroll to find a channel?

The channel order is always based on the channel numbers. You can change the channel numbers to whatever you like.

It's also possible define channel groups, like one called 'Favourites' with only those channels in it, and switch the TV Guide to that group.

Many thanks for the guidance.

Trying to setup NextPVR for the first time and am getting an error when trying to import the EPG using mc2xml.

"Unexpected error importing channels: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object"

Anyone know how to resolve this problem?


VB,

Hate to beat a dead horse guys, but I'm having the same issue as this. Problem is, I am trying to import an xml file I exported from my analog device, back to my analog device. (Lost a drive, so this is a fresh install)
Yes I did select the analog device, and click the 'Export' button to get the file. Then on my fresh install, I clicked the exact same device, and clickd the Import button

In addition to this, any of the analog channels that 'scanning' finds, I am not able to change to OTA EPG

You're talking about the "Import Channels" button on Settings/Devices right? Did it give you an opportunity to select the file before throwing the error? If there's still an "Import" button on Settings/Devices/Device Setup, then you might try that. (Don't have analog myself and the Wiki page hasn't been revised for 16 months.)

Yes, and yes. I'm able to select, once I select and hit 'Ok' (I think), then it throws the error... more annoying than that is why the channel details and Bulk Map WILL NOT save the EPG when I change them to that

Can you zip and attach the xml file?

Can you zip and attach the xml file?

Sure. Attached.

I tried again, same error. This time through I just let it scan the channels. As I said in my last post though, more importantly... Why can I not get these channels to use EPG Source: DVB/ATSC EPG? I can't do it through 'Channel Details', nor through Bulk Map. The setting is there, it just does not save the setting.

If they're analog channels, you can't use DVB/ATSC EPG - they obviously need to be a DVB or ATSC tuner to get the EPG from digital broadcasts. There is no EPG available in analog signals.
