WebEPG error when my internet connection is down

SwissBuster · 2008-08-11, 11:35

I have webEPG scheduled to run daily to grab the latest program information. It works great most of the time, but once or twice my internet connection has gone down, and the TVguide.xml file ends up completely empty. This means the program guide is also empty. Of course, minutes earlier the program guide was fine using the previous days information.

So, my simple question is: Is there a way of stopping MediaPortal from importing a TVguide file if it contains no data?

I second that. I also has a "woobly" internet connection and sometimes end up with a tvguide thats only 2kb, in other words empty.
I would love if the old tvguide could be saved and compared to the new before it is used.
Sometimes I dont turn on the htpc for days and have to rely on the tvguide to work for it to record. To find that the new episode of my favorite shows haven't been recorded because the tvguide is empty is frustrating
