XmlTv Structure

[psycik]

Apart from making it easier to read, do the channels have to be at the top of an xmltv file or can they be within the data....

Example:

Code:

<tv>
  <channel id="C4">
    <display-name>C4</display-name>
  </channel>
  <programme start="20080811122000" stop="20080811123000" channel="C4">
    <title>Te Karere</title>
    <desc>Te Karere</desc>
  </programme>
  <programme start="20080811123000" stop="20080811180000" channel="C4">
    <title>Beijing 2008: The Games Of The XXIX O...</title>

  <channel id="TV ONE">

According to the DTD, they should be at the top of the list. I have an xmltv serialization class if you need it. It should be in the MCE2XmlTv source on the wiki. The serializer shouldn't care about the order when reading the file but it will write it in the proper order.

Ok, got that sorted then.... Use Insert, not Append!!
