Very fast Dutch TV listings with NLGrabXMLTV 1.0

Hans,

With <updateepg>true</updateepg> you'll get an update immediately, so you won't have to wait for GBPVR to pick it up. I've set my epgupdate schedule in GBPVR to never.

I assume this only works if the EPG is downloaded on the GBPVR server machine?

That would be the same as rightclicking the gbpvr-tray-icon and clicking update epg. Does your update empty the epg first, like the complete-epg-reload option in gbpvr?

Yep.

I just found out that I should add that option, so the answer is: not yet. I haven't run into any problems yet, though, and I've been running this version for a few weeks now. I'll adjust this sometime soon.

I'll adjust this sometime soon.

Done, version 1.0.8 is available in the first post of this thread.

Did you guys notice too that TVGids.nl is doing a very poor job at the moment. Several programs are missing in their listings.
Ned2: 22.50 Uur van de Wolf.
Ned3:20.25 Ranking the Stars.

These I found by accident, so there are probably more. We better keep an eye on our recording schedule.

Today I got a persistent error on NLGrabXMLTV. It just crashes with a Microssoft warning that the application has to close. I got the error on two different machines.
The only thing I noticed is that the sources for 2008-06-30 are much bigger than the one s for the other days.
Do others see the same, or should I start digging in my own setup?

I get the same message. This is what the eventviewer says:

Code:

EventType clr20r3, P1 nlgrabxmltv.exe, P2 1.0.0.0, P3 47ef5825, P4 system.xml, P5 2.0.0.0, P6 471ebef7, P7 6c0, P8 27, P9 system.xml.xmlexception, P10 NIL.

The 30-06 file being much bigger makes sense, it contains 5 days of info while the other 2 only contain info for 1 day.

I was looking forward to using this program but I also get and error which crashes the program. I downloaded the latest file "NlGrabXMLTV_1.0.8.zip". After backing up the config.xml and the dll I replaced the files in the install folder of GB-PVR just like it should. Then I ran the program and it threw an an exception "System.Xml.XmlException". Can someone either tell me what I am doing wrong (if that is the case)?

I'm running WinXP SP2.

This morning the program did not crash.
