Invalid tvguide.xml

graemef · 2008-04-25, 03:05

Hi there,
Can someone please tell me what is wrong with this xml file. I get an error that starts "Invalid XML file: The 'TV' start tag on line 2" and is then truncated. I can't find the log files any more for xml import with TV Server.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
The tvguide.xml file has a error in line 6604 where it is missing "<programme start=" etc & therefore fails to import.

Log files for TV Server it's in user folders, but because of a bug in tvserver it only contains 1 line, however this it's fixed in the svn which comes out today

Regards
Roy

Thanks for that, found a bug with my epg downloader that was trimming an extra line in some downloads. Fixed and all good.
Out of interest did you have a tool to test XML syntax, or did you go thorough line by line ?

Hi,
First i run it in TV server here on laptop with a fake channel to check where it stopped(i also use some debug files for XMLTV plugin(debug mode) to get line numbers where crash/error occurs), you can also open it in IE & check there.

Regards
Roy
