Setting "EPG Source" to "Schedules Direct" causes an "Unhandled exception".

[MarkHotchkiss]

Hi sub,

Yes, it does. When I continue, it displays the "Lineup:" line underneath the "Source:" line, but the box to the left of "Lineup:" is a red outline with a big red "X" through it. The system continues to run, and seems to run fine, using the ATSC guide data (matter-of-fact, it is recording a scheduled show right now).

Are your running on XP/Vista/Win7/Win8?

Normally the next step would be selecting '...manage lineups...' from the lineup drop down.

I think your main problem is to do with XP, which I suspect is stopping the special custom multi-color dropdown from displaying correctly.

I think I've fixed what was causing your original exception, but you'll still get this lineup dropdown not displaying. I'm not sure what to do about this in a hurry. I'll need to sleep on it.

Should I just try a fresh install? There isn't anything in my setup that I would mind setting up again.

Oops, I cross posted with you.

Yes, it's almost 1am here. I need to sleep on it as well.

Thanks again.

If you get xmltv.exe from http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmltv/fi...tv/0.5.66/ you might be able to add your lineup to the account. Maybe that will help?

doesn't XMLTV still use the data direct service? the Schedules Direct grabber is still called tv_grab_na_dd, and nothing in the readme suggests there's been any change, nor is there any new grabber named "tv_grab_na_json" or something like that. Or am I completely misunderstanding why you suggested that?

MarkHotchkiss isn't the only one still on XP. I'm still on v3.1.1 + patches just because it's working well enough for me, but it sounds like the SD change is pushing me to another upgrade scenario.

Haven't yet had to hack hostnames to stay on the Data Direct service, but may have to.

Thanks all for your help & support.
