I generate my XML file with TVXB in Singapore. I notice that whenever there is any episode details in the program listing, the episode name/number shows up in the GBPVR TV Guide instead of the program name.

Here is a sample listing on the channel website:

[COLOR="Blue"]Malcolm In The Middle (Season 2) :
Tutoring Reese (Ep 221)

Take a look at a middle class family, made up of exasperated parents and their four squabbling sons, as seen through the eyes of Malcolm.

Cast : Frankie Muniz

(Ep 221) [/COLOR]

And here is what went into the XML file:

[COLOR="Blue"]<programme start="20060420183000 +0800" stop="20060420190000 +0800" channel="18.starworld.sg">
<title lang="en">Malcolm In The Middle (Season 2)</title>
<title lang="en">Tutoring Reese</title>
<sub-title lang="en">Ep 221</sub-title>
<desc>
Take a look at a middle class family, made up of exasperated parents and their four squabbling sons, as seen through the eyes of Malcolm.
</desc>
<credits>
<actor>Frankie Muniz</actor>
</credits>
</programme>[/COLOR]

Notice that there are two <title.. lines in the XML. Is this ok? I figure that the GBPVR TV Guide only reads the second <title line and shows "Tutoring Reese" in the listing. The Program name is nowhere to be found in the Guide.

Here is my TVXB ini config for this channel:

[COLOR="blue"][18.starworld.sg]
name=STAR WORLD
url=http://cabletv2.starhub.com/portal/TEPrgGuide.jsp
postdata=channelStr=3f4d8899a5126010VgnVCM100000464114acRCRD&prgDisplay=&pageLoad=new&timeStr=selectTime&dateStr=[day=dd/mm/yyyy]
tagtr=start=<table width=,end=</table>
tagtd=start=<td width=,end=</td>
extractelement=from=title,to=subtitle,position=1000,start=[Ep 1],[Ep 2],[Ep 3],[Ep 4],[Ep 5],[Ep 6],[Ep 7],[Ep 8],[Ep 9],[Ep 0]
extractelement=from=title,to=title,position=999,start= :
extractelement=from=description,to=director,position=999,start=Director :
extractelement=from=description,to=actors,position=1000,start=Cast :
start=2
stop=2,-
title=1
special=fulldescriptions
descriptionid=vgnextfmt=shId,
descriptionhtmlstart="word-wrap:break-word;">
descriptionhtmlend=<td class="content"><span class="contentbold">
descriptionhours=0000-2359[/COLOR]

Can anyone help me get the right Title and Sub-Titles for the TV Guide.

I cant help you with your TVXB ini, but that XMLTV file definitely doesnt look right with the <title> listed twice. You need to fix that. The title shoule be "Malcom in the Middle". The subtitle should be "Tutoring Reese".

Sub, thanks for this confirmation. Digging into the TVXB documentation and with the help of the terrific folks on another forum I have solved the problem. I am now getting perfect Title and Sub-Title extractions for the Guide.

Here is the link to the forum where I got the solution.
