Unhandled exception erroor importing channels

[R2JJS]

I've messed up my channels/epg. I have Nextpvr installed on a windows 7 x64 box (new install) Sources are directv/colossus + a HD Homerun Dual tuner. Schedules Direct for epg data.

I blindly loaded all the directv channels, then mapped my OTA from the silicon dust. Wow I had duplicate channels.... Not so bad for some of the stuff but Directv has SD + HD of many channels plus loads of channels I don't get.

This is where I've managed to get things messed up.
I tried to edit the channel list @ schedules direct thinking I could reduce the epg list. This is where things went bad,
I couldn't get the guide reduced.....
So tried deleting the channels and adding back in – unchecking the ones I don't need. Thats wher I am getting the unhandled exception error.

Stuck with no channels now on my directv source.

Suggestions?

Thanks
Ronald

OK I've found a resolution to this.... You can not import the channel lineup AFTER setting the channel change to Executable>wget>the argument for wget! It gives the unhandled exception.

Set up the source, leave channel change none - I can setup the channels! Set the method of channel changing later, all is good. I don't know why, I will just have to remember to turn the channel change to none before editing channels.

If you've got that broken xml file, please post it so I can take a look.

[R2JJS]

I'm new to the way NPVR is organised..... running win7 64, location of the xml file you need?

[sub]

When you click the 'export' button to export the channels, it'll give you the name of the xml file it's exporting. That is the xml file I wanted.

[mvallevand]

If I had to bet the export isn't treating the ampersand in his example properly

Yep, that's my guess too. I wanted to see what was ending up in his xml file though before I do anything about it.

[R2JJS]

Sub,

Sorry fo the delay getting back to this, I am going to attach a pic to see if can explain better. In an effort to edit my channels I deleted my lineup and was doing the import function from schedules Direct. Going through the lineup and unchecking channels I did not want. ( this is why I'm lost on the xml file export.... I thought I was importing channels from SD)

When I would hit ok on the import channel list was when I would get the "unhandled exception" and no channels would import. Tried editing the list and tried the full list. Sat on it a couple days and thats when I figured out to try
it with the channel changer set to none. (dawned on me I had not set that up the first time I imported channels) So I did the tuner setup again by renaming the npvr.DB3 and leaving the channel changer set to none. Ta da I could make progress again.

Have you got the xml file so I can try importing it here?

[R2JJS]

Sub,

Sorry I guess I don't, I deleted everything before starting over.
