Likewise - luckily I saw your post so backed up yesterdays before it managed to screw it up at 2am this morning. Hopefully though it managed a full download.

Dear all,
I'm not sure about anyone else but I am still finding the RT XML data hit and miss. Most days I get a full re-load. Some days (average once a week) completely no data from RT. I have a back-up in place as per Jaggy's post on this thread here: http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?...post383662 which means I can store 10 days worth of xml downloads (or more if wanted). What I would like to add to that .bat (or a .bat before the next .bat is called) is a request to look at my epg.xml filesize and if it is smaller than say 1000kb don't call the next instruction (keeping the current epg.xml file in place). If larger than 1000kb do call next instruction. I have no idea how to do this Cheers Steeb

Hi Steeb,
I use an autoit function to check the downloaded xml size and if less than a specified value, jus replace it with the previous version. I have attached the code here - it should be easy to alter to your needs Cheers Garyeuph

I didn't think your had to do anything like that with the current version of xmltvgui - AFAIK it doesn't write an xml file if it finds the incoming data is empty. ????

Many thanks garyeuph,
but looks like I may not need this martint123 Wrote:I didn't think your had to do anything like that with the current version of xmltvgui - AFAIK it doesn't write an xml file if it finds the incoming data is empty. ???? Hmmmm, now that is interesting, not at my server until later, will have to check out what is wrong here. I get an .xml generated listings or not. martin123 what setting do you have with xmltvgui for the cahce? On or off? Or should this make no difference? Cheers Steeb

I have cache on. The bottom of my log file has this when the RT has an error. It has been behaving for me recently, I will keep my eye on it to confirm.

Think I may know then, thanks for investigating. There are a few channels not on the RT site that I use so also use digiguide to grab these. So of course I always have some programs downloaded. Guess this may be my issue! hmmmm, many thanks Steeb

Just come back from holiday to discover I've no listings and I'm getting the "Radio Times returned a zero sized reply for channel....." for every channel :-(
Is the Radio Times listing broken again? Anyone else seeing this?

I've just tried mine and got the same result.
Odd - as it has been behaving for quite a time now. ISTR there have been a couple of channel renames in the last day or two - maybe someone pressed the wrong button! It was certainly OK last evening as I was paying around with adding channels.

Yes it has been playing up again. Meant to post over on AB's site.
What was even weirder was that twice in last 2 days RT returned something in the order of 868 programme details which effectively killed the XML not written if using XMLTV Gui..... It wrote the XML as the logic thought details were there! Hmmm Steeb [SIZE="1"]When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.[/SIZE]
