Talking Pictures UK TV channel recording oddity - Cellar Club with Caroline Munro

Is it possible that NextPVR isn't xml encoding the rating field?

Yes, but that field is still full of garbage anyway.

I'll make a change to try a sanity check on it, and encode it, but his quickest path to a fix is going to be getting rid of the garbage in this field (because my build is no longer compatible with 6.1.5, so I can't provide a patch for it)

Garbage removed and working as expected.
As far as I'm concerned, a patch for current versions is probably OTT and a code amendment in a future release at some point should be considered to validate if possible but ratings are country specific and this may be a larger piece of work than justifies the effort.
The error I encountered was as a result of another program generating garbage and I have requested this to be addressed by WebGrab++

Thanks for your help.

I was just thinking maybe in some countries the & might be used.

@blobbyguts why do you not use the ota guide? Just curious since many in the UK say it is quite good

@mvallevand I prefer to use guide data generated by WebGrab++ as OTA guides quite often have missing data for some of the more esoteric channels which I and my good lady frequent

Ok thanks not being in the UK I have limited exposure. Recently sub added the dvb-s opentv guide in addition to Freeviee and it mapped very well to the Sky online guide data. I suppose dvb-t is different or you might be getting now next data
