I'm using mc2xml to download EPG data to an XMLTV file. Upon parsing it, GB-PVR reports the following:

2008-11-22 11:22:57.458 ERROR [1] XMLTV: error reading xml: The 'LF' start tag on line 188213 does not match the end tag of 'title'. Line 188213, position 64.

Curiously, the XMLTV file contains 5 occurrences of the <LF> tag, such as this :

<programme start="20081121043000 -0500" stop="20081121050000 -0500" channel="I65.28460900.microsoft.com">
<title lang="en">New Cricut Expression Crafting Machine<LF></title>
<desc lang="en">Introducing the Revolutionary new Cricut Expression, the hottest craft machine on the market. 6 new modes and several new functions. Cut through chipboard, etch glass, create your own quilt patterns, mass-produce the same cut quickly.</desc>
<category lang="en">Paid Programming</category>
<episode-num system="dd_progid">SH01102722.0000</episode-num>
</programme>

So after this entry, I get no EPG information in the TV Guide. Is there a way to tell (i.e. command line argument) PVRX2 to ignore rogue tags from the xml file while parsing?

Thanx

I just encountered this as well. See my post in http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?p=308820

I don't know whether the bad data is in the original source or being generated by mc2xml. I have emailed the developer of mc2xml.

This caused both pvrx2 and ultraxml_enhancer to choke. I wonder how far the parsing programs should go to protect against malformed xml?

Could this be a fluke? I deleted the xmltv.xml file, ran mc2xml -f, then UpdateEPG and PVRX2 parsed it successfully. The <LF> tag is not present in the xmltv.xml file anymore...

don't know if I fixed it, or if they fixed it. I went and edited out all the <LF> tags in the file and used the update button under system.
Brought everything back.

mc2xml would need to be fixed to correct this. It is producing a broken .xml file. The Microsoft .net xml parser would not load it. mc2xml should be encoding the embedded < and > characters.

Tried it again this morning, it appears it has been fixed at the source.

For those that still have errors, delete your mc2xml.dat and xmltv.xml file. Then run mc2xml as you did the first time, i.e. mc2xml -c country -g postalcode, then select your provider when prompted. Will will get a new xmltv.xml without (hopefully) any <LF> tags.
