Missing TV Guide

[phillyjim]

I've been "playing" trying to set up multiple tuners. In the process I lost my TV guide. All the channels are displayed but the comment "No show details" is the only description.
The xml file is still in the right directory. The tuners all point to that directory and my scheduled programs are still in the pending recordings list.
My xml file is from yapi2xml and it was downloaded Nov 24 so it is still good until next Sun or Mon.
Is there anything I can do to get it to display again in TV Guide.

I just had a similar problem and had to empty the EPG twice and update it before it showed up. Have you tried emptying it yet?

[phillyjim]

Not sure what you mean by empty the epg.

My xml file is from 11/24. I've been getting error messages trying to update since then and so far I haven't messed that up. With yapi2xml not working, I am reluctant to do anything that might delete or over write my xml file until I get a chance to change my epg to something that works.

hit the 'update epg' button in your config app, then post your config.exe.log and I'll check if its importing listings.

I am getting the same problem, using an XML file from Digiguide. The only error I am seeing in the log is:

XMLTV: error reading xml: Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: 'UK_Digi_' Key being added: 'UK_Digi_'

Here is my upload of the Log file:

I've seen this type of error with DigiGuide.... it's when you have two channels with the same channel number.

XMLTV grabber prefixes all digiguide channel numbers with UK_DIGI_1 for BBC for example...

Have a look in the XML file.... at the top is the Channel lineup.... I bet you have two channels with the channel number... I spotted this error when UKGold was rename to Watch. I got UK_DIGI_109 twice... Drop one and you'll be sorted....

Pretty much spot on! It was three channels had no index value from Digiguide so all were "UK_DIGI_"

The offending channels were:
ITV HD
Southern FM
Mercury FM

I have changed them with the help of XML Notepad from MS downloads

Many thanks

Sub,
When I opened GBPVR today, the TV guide was back to normal. I just need (among my many things) to get an EPG running by Monday.
