Excellent! Thanks for letting me know.

The annoying thing was I had a version ready to upload earlier (as I was rewriting the thread info) which would have worked for you. Just before I uploaded, I noticed a trivial error which I tweaked (but didn't test). Sigh!

It worked for Alex bcause his data.xml is in the default folder where as yours is in C:\XMLTV - hopefully it's fixed for everyone now though.

Great work Brian - now I can confidently plan my festive season viewing around watching the old boxed set standards like Porridge, Dwarf, Python, Great British Railway Journeys, etc in the sure and certain knowledge that there's b-all worth watching on Freeview...

Surely not Alex - what with a host of "Carry On...", "Star Trek..." and "Rocky..." movies for your tele-visual delight!

I have to agree though really - not a great selection of films this year on Freeview. I think I'll have to set up an alternative xmltv download to see what VM cable has to offer - if I can ever find time to watch any of it.

I'm actually thinking about asking Santa for the Complete Sherlock Holmes boxed set for Christmas - that would be for next year's festive season viewing though - best to be prepared... eh?

'fraid to say I'm getting the error below. I shifted the xmltv down to C: (was on E) but still the error.

Maybe try

Code:

C:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI" "C:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI

instead of

Code:

C:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI" "C:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI\data.xml

see first post in thread... it caught me out the first time too...

EDIT: LOL - what Alex said, I was too slow!

It tool me a while to spot it. Your command-line...

Code:

RT_FilmFix "C:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI" "C:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI\[B][color=#FF0000]data.xml[/color][/B]"

For the latest version, don't specify the XML data file, i.e., leave 'data.xml' off the end of the second parameter.

Just specify the path the the main or alternate XMLTV GUI settings folder, in you case above...

Code:

RT_FilmFix "C:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI" "C:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI\"

Sorry, I changed things slightly for this version. The first parameter is effectively the path to the XMLTV installation folder and the second is the path to find the main or alternative settings data folder - no need to specify the XML data file in the second parameter - it works it out from the xmltvgui.ini file.

Brian

Ah - I have to use

RT_FilmFix "E:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI" "E:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI\settings"

to make it work.......... I should have read the thread a bit harder.
Thanks very much and Seasons greetings - are there any films left??

My new batch file

Code:

cmd /c "E:\program files\XMLTV GUI\XmltvGUI.exe" /csettings /grab /d7
cmd /c "E:\program files\XMLTV GUI\XmltvGUI.exe" /chdonly /grab /d7
"E:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI\Rt_FilmFix" "E:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI" "E:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI\settings"
"E:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI\Rt_FilmFix" "E:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI" "E:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI\hdonly"
copy "E:\program files\XMLTV GUI\*.xml" \\hp-1\temp
