[Bug] (?) EPG overlapping not yet fixed?

[ShiningDragon]

Hi sub!

Just a question: I thought i read somewhere, that the overlapping of EPG Data were fixed and gone away.
I am sorry to say, but i cannot confirm this. On my machine it's the same as ever; overlapped EPG Informations, even the data will be daily updated in the morning via TaskSheduler of WinXP and GB-PVR.

I am receiving my EPG Data from TV-Movie.de with the Tool "TVM2XML" and convert it automatically into the .xml format which will be readed every morning by GB-PVR EPG Update.

What could be wrong?

I guess you have the "complete reload epg"-option checked .

Yes ive noticed this still, using XMLTV data from radio times.

Not as much as before, and it hasnt affected any recordings yet, but i have noticed it a little in the TV guide. I have complete reload selected.

Yep

Did you check the xml-file if it gas the right info. I ask this because in the dutch xmltv file I get more and more mistakes the last weeks.

I'll do this tonight. Thx for the Hint =) I just need to compare the resposible timeslot, or not?

Yes the files are easy to read but quite large.

Ah, not so bad. I'll see with the TV-Guide the responsible date, channel and timeslot and will then just make usage of the "find" button ^^;

So, i think HtV was right. Problem wasn't/isn't gbpvr itself. The error lies itself by my Provider (TV-Movie), they have a few errors in their database.

Like Monday 18:00h... there's listed on the one "Sex and the City" and at same time "Simpsons".
No wonder, gb-pvr doubles some entries in the database with this faulty entries.

Thx, HtV... no i have to find a workaround or another provider for EPG-Data.

This one looks promising: http://www.tvxb.com.
I'm trying it out now. Looks like it filters out the mistakes in the guide (or at least some of them).
