Very fast Dutch TV listings with NLGrabXMLTV 1.0

Tip: to get my EPG working again I've deleted all my EPG info in GBPVR for each capture source and did an EPG update after that.

Get used to that when you're writing an EPG plugin. I can't remember how many times I had to do it while working on MceEpg2Xmltv, especially since I kept changing the way I created the channel id.

Hmmm, I did some bad programming leading to "zomertijd" troubles. The first post now includes the latest version that fixes this problem temporarely (not a pretty solution), and it also includes some other small changes. I hope to do a better release pretty soon, but for now this version should work without problems.

Layout seems OK. I can schedule recordings with EWA and MVP(=PVRX2), but GBPVR gives "Error: Input string was not in correct format"

Thanks for your input. I've done some more adjustments but can't reproduce your problem, maybe you could try the attachment?

I have given it a try, but no improvement on GBPVR. The others are still OK.
If you can't reproduce it, than it is probably my machine. I hardly ever use GBPVR to schedule recordings. Most is done via EWA and next via MVP. So it won't affect me really. I suggest you ignore this till others report it, or if I come back nagging

Thanks Sheik, looks ok. Hadn't noticed any problem yet.
I always update the epg in the afternoon, so it hadn't updated yet.

How about:
TimeSpan diff = DateTime.Now - DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime();
Console.WriteLine("Difference between Local time and UTC = " + diff.Hours);

TimeSpan diff = DateTime.Now - DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime();
Console.WriteLine("Difference between Local time and UTC = " + diff.Hours);

Or:

TimeSpan diff = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.GetUtcOffset(DateTime.Now);

I just uploaded version 1.0.6 in the first message of this thread. The changes:
- Full data from the source xml files for use with UltraXMLTV_Enhancer;
- Sorting the programs based on the start time before making corrections on start and end times, to prevent programs overlapping.

I'll give it a try. The version I just dowloaded still has version number 1.0.0.0. The date is 29-4-2008 and the size is different from the previous, so I guess its the correct version.
EDIT: Seems to work OK for me. This resource only has about 2 days of new program data. Not a problem for me, but others may not like it. The advantage over amontilado's grabber is speed, reduced load on tvgids.nl, and no more screwed up program guides for NED3 and some other channels

I only keep track of the version number in the log file, but it's probably a good idea to change the version number of the .exe also. Most of the time I get an EPG of a week. I just tried it and I see program info from today (wednesday) untill tuesday.
