TVguide-writing.xml stops at 3kb

[frank75]

I have changed some channel ID to some of my channels. When i start MP nothing have changed, the old id still shows in my tvguide.
I start WEBepg.exe from the mediaportal folder, take a look in the xmltv folder and here TVguide-writing.xml stops at 3kb.
Some days ago i started it the same way, and it was runn ig ok.
The tvguide also have problems showing norwegian letters.

Anyone know why this is happening?

There are 3 log files to look for. All of them in MediaPortal/log. They are webepg.log, epg.log, and error.log. Have a look there and see if you can find out the issue.

I tried your webepg.xml per above and there are a couple of issues there:

- Line 2 & 4: There should not be any "-" in the beginning of the line.

- Also around "JETIX" there are some "-" to remove.

- There is something else with this merged channel as I get a FATAL. When I removed the channel it works better.

Now it wrote me 1MB+ of EPG-data to tvguide.xml.

- I played around with the merged channel and when I added a time range also for the first of the two merged channels it worked better.

- You also have a couple of channels being ignored since it can not find any grabber data.

In the log folder Configuration.log, recorder.log and wepepg.log is lited, not epglog.

My tvguide is 1767kb. Tried to run webepg.exe today and it is he same. Only 3kb.
The channels that is ignored are som local tv channels only.

Hi Frank,

Try fixing the time span on the merged channel and you should hopefully be able to avoid the fatal error.

I removed the merging with jetix and hallmark, then it worked. My tvguide updated right away and stopped around 2000kb. And the channel i changed ID on is ok to.

Now i only need to find out why the guide don´t show norwegian letters and sharpen the picture.

Thanx for the tip on the merged channel Peter

[Reddwarf]

I also have problems with the norwegian letters (Ææ Øø Åå), have you figured it out)

Hi,
Reddwarf , in which grabber do you have problems with that & in which MP version(MP final or TVE3 or?)

Regards
Roy

[Reddwarf]

Well, actually I'm not using MP but GBPVR, I'm just using the NO grabber with WebEPG from version 0.2.3.0. TV-listings from Dagbladet looks ok, but I want to use Sol.no to get 12 days schedule in stead of 7. Some TV-channels were not present in the predefined choices for dagbladet but I was able to add them in "2-fradag_dagbladet_no.xml". However, I cant figure out how to get norwegian characters look right.
