Unhandled Exception setting up TV Listings.

[boogmeister1]

I followed the instructions for installing the TV listings in the proper directory, however, when I go into settings and try to add a guide I get an "Unhandled Exception" error.

I'm not sure how to get past this error. Anyone have any ideas?

... when I go into settings and try to add a guide I get an "Unhandled Exception" error.

The npvr.log has ...

2018-06-07 11:58:22.934 [DEBUG][1] TV Listings: Exception details: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'TVListings.Backend' threw an exception. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: TV Listings database not found

The TV Listings zip that was downloaded should have copied a file called "TV Listings.db3" into \Users\Public\NPVR\Plugins\TV Listings alongside the TV Listings DLL file.

[boogmeister1]

That did it!

Thanks a ton!

Hi I am having the same problem when I click on the TVListings in the Menu. I do have both TV Listing.db3 and TVlisting.dll in the C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Plugins\TVListings folder.
What could be wrong? I am running version 3.9.2 (161119). The dates of the TV Listing.db3 is 2/25/2012 and the TV Listing.dll is 11/20/2016

I just tried it on my other nextPVR installation which is version 4.2.2.2 with the same results. I even tried putting the TV Listing.db3 and Dll file directly under NPVR, and then NPVR Plugins, and under
NVPR/plugins/TV Listing/ all the the same exception error that it cannot file the DB3 file. I don't understand.

The TV Listings zip that was downloaded should have copied a file called "TV Listings.db3" into \Users\Public\NPVR\Plugins\TV Listings alongside the TV Listings DLL file.

What files are in the \Users\Public\NPVR\Plugins\TV Listings folder?

[tomhilton1]

Tvlisting.db3 and tvlisting.dll

[tomhilton1]

TV Listings.db3 and TVListing.dll
Sorry I missed the space in both in the previous reply

[tomhilton1]

Also why does the zip file create a another plugins/TV Listing folder. Makes it where you have to play move files and folders to get the files in the proper location.
