So that same line is fine in the original. What is the problem with this line? Is it &?

EDIT: I take it back, the & doesn't appear in the original. I did a global Replace to make it blank and now it works perfectly. @CV, could you possibly trap for the & and either replace it with "and" or just remove it?

That is what i do - it needs to be replaced with &amp - I must have missed it in the channel display name. I will do that an repost tomorrow.

I found them in sub-title as well whenever Texas A&M are playing football.

Also is there a way to get it to not add * at the end of the title if it is a new episode? That's throwing off my Recurring Recordings.

I spent some more time looking at & issue. It appears that most of the time you have it working. I think the problem is when it is an & followed by one uppercase letter like A&E, and A&M. It might also be that you are doing the replace before grabbing the data for enhancing and the enhancing is actually introducing the problem.

Turns out I broke it fixing it :0( This version should correctly handle any "&"s... they are escaped to &amp;

Also if you set newShowInd= (nothing after it) then it will not put a * on new shows. I find them handy since that is typically all I want to record, I set a second one without a * if I want other episodes.

[toricred]

So the newShowInd= is on the command-line I assume.

Edit:

That did it. Thank you so much. Now the question is does the rename stuff still work in this version? I really wanted to focus on just getting the guide data right and then move on to the rename. Also, it's no big deal but why are you using sXXeXX instead of SXXEXX?

[carpeVideo]

Everything still functions including rename - It uses lower case because to me it is easier to quickly recognize season versus episode with lower eg s04e05 vs S04E05, also upper S looks like a 5, AND OF COURSE UPPER SEEMS LIKE SHOUTING :0) . That is certainly something that could be set as a parm.

[toricred]

The capitals don't matter, it is just the way I'm used to seeing them.

Now for the next error. I'm getting errors when I try to update the epg and somehow amp241 is being put in the event_details field for a recording in the scheduled_recordings table. This is causing my update to bomb and not schedule any of the recurring recordings. I had to go in and manually delete that particular record to get things back working for now. Attached is the log file.
