I've just recently encountered an issue where some channels in the EPG have (no listings). I've mapped the channel to the XML file, and when I've opened up the XML file, there appears to be listings in there for the missing channels. For some reason they aren't showing up in the EPG. I've also tried clearing the EPG and re-updating, re-mapping the channels, re-scanning the channels, etc.

I've also tried checking the npvr.db3 for errors, though I'm no expert.

Below is my XML file and my logs.

There is bad XML from the zap2epg scrapper

<category lang="en">Books & literature</category>

You can do a global replace of " & " with " &amp; " and it probably will work.

Thanks! Sure enough, that was the issue.

I could leave off the extra details when downloading the xml data, or I could somehow automate a find and replace if this keeps happening.

Edit:

In case anyone has the same issue, I solved it by creating a short powershell script which searches for " & " and replaces it with " &amp; " and then overwrites the original file. I have Task Scheduler run the script about half an hour after the guide downloads every day, and then NextPVR updates the guide half an hour after that.
