Force EPG Update

[sub]

jfm, the database made it to me, and I'll take a look when I'm back in front of my development machine in a few hours.

jfm, can you also zip and attach your xmltv file? (or email it to me)

I had a look through your previous posts in this thread, but I couldnt see this attached anywhere.

Neither SYFY nor ABCF are listed in that file.

That's interesting. I's the latest one, done automatically at 5:00 this morn. I hadn't even checked it. I'm looking at another earlier one that does have those listings. I'll get back.

I just did another update via System->Update EPG (using xmltv.exe), and that file doesn't have the listings, either. I have checked SchedulesDirect.com yet again, and the channels are in the lineup.

Here's my updateEPG.bat:

Code:

@echo off Rem Get Guide Data from Schedules Direct REM C:\EPG\xmltv\run.bat c:\epg\xmltv\xmltv tv_grab_na_dd --days 8 --output xmltv.xml copy xmltv.xml c:\epg\xmltv.new.xml rem Then call the Enhancer rem Ultra v2 rem c:\epg\UltraXMLTV_Enhancer_2\UltraXMLTV_Enhancer.exe c:\epg\xmltv.exe.xml rem Ultra v1 rem c:\epg\UltraXMLTV_Enhancer\UltraXMLTV_Enhancer.exe c:\epg\xmltv.exe.xml rem When this batch file finishes, GB-PVR will update the listings in the database

It's not set to delete the xmltv.xml file, so why wouldn't the file still be in the \epg\xmltv directory? Does the copy command automatically delete the copied file? The xmltv.new.xml file just created does not have the listings in it.

There is an xmltv.xml file (that I renamed) from the 12th that does have the listings as I copied and posted here. I am attaching that file as well.

Strange. Is there any possibility that the problem could be with xmltv.exe, or must it be with SchedulesDirect?

Update: I just downloaded listings via xmltv-run-bat, and this file DOES have the listings. This bat file uses the command:

Code:

xmltv tv_grab_na_dd --days 8 --output xmltv.xml

while updateEPG.bat uses:

Code:

c:\epg\xmltv\xmltv tv_grab_na_dd --days 8 --output xmltv.xml

That's the only difference I see. I can't imagine why there would be a difference in the output files.

Try this:

Code:

@echo off Rem Get Guide Data from Schedules Direct REM C:\EPG\xmltv\run.bat [B][color=Red]cd \epg\xmltv[/color][/B] c:\epg\xmltv\xmltv tv_grab_na_dd --days 8 --output xmltv.xml copy xmltv.xml c:\epg\xmltv.new.xml rem Then call the Enhancer rem Ultra v2 rem c:\epg\UltraXMLTV_Enhancer_2\UltraXMLTV_Enhancer.exe c:\epg\xmltv.exe.xml rem Ultra v1 rem c:\epg\UltraXMLTV_Enhancer\UltraXMLTV_Enhancer.exe c:\epg\xmltv.exe.xml rem When this batch file finishes, GB-PVR will update the listings in the database

As to this:

It's not set to delete the xmltv.xml file, so why wouldn't the file still be in the \epg\xmltv directory? Does the copy command automatically delete the copied file? The xmltv.new.xml file just created does not have the listings in it.

...it's run from the GBPVR dir, so the file would be there. Been a long day.

Yup, see my edited post above
