XMLTV file not importing.

[RattyDAVE]

Just to make things clear I am getting NO DATA imported....
It is fine in Simple XMLTV viewer.

Can you leave a copy of your xml file on a repository somewhere and someone could have a try out of it (I should be able to)
presumably your have something like a sky box, pvr150 and IR blaster ??

I'm using birtles xmltvgui + Radio Times and it is working fine for Sky channels

[RattyDAVE]

Thats pretty much what I have.

I've just emptied my EPG and imported your XML file and I also get nothing in the EPG.
I'll try to view yours and mine side by side to see if there is anything odd.
Meanwhile, do you want to try my xml file to see if anything is imported?

Thanks for that I was begining to think my database was currupt .. So with your help I know it is not that.

Compare your log entry with mine as well. (possible slight text differences as mine was run from npvr rather than nrecord)

Oh I had to look at that a few times to spot the difference. Right then. Ill uncheck the service part and see what happens.

(TV in use atm so unable to import the other XMLTV file)

[RattyDAVE]

Just tried your XMLTV file. I renamed and put in the same place as where mine lives.

Code:

2010-10-18 22:13:48.312 [DEBUG][12] Will process xmltv file: C:\Users\Public\NPVR\dave-addon\epgdata.xml 2010-10-18 22:13:48.318 [DEBUG][12] Loading XMLTV from: C:\Users\Public\NPVR\dave-addon\epgdata.xml 2010-10-18 22:13:51.805 [DEBUG][12] channelEventLists.Count=0

Still the same problem.

You might take a look at the problem that posted a while back about NPVR not processing EPG files:

I've noticed a couple of time now that NPVR will stop processing EPG files. I think that it happens when the channel lineup from Schedules Direct has changed. (There are either more or fewer channels, but the channels mapped from the EPG to the capture sources are all still there.)

My Schedules Direct lineup hasn't changed for a while, so I don't know if it is still a problem with the latest version of NPVR or not.

You can try out the work-around in that original post of mine to see if it makes any difference for you.
