a couple of questions about xmltv "Input string was not in a correct format" (1 Viewer)

[etheesdad]

I keep getting this error and cant figure out how to fix it.

When I open xmltv plugin in tv server configuration it says its already importing the tvguide.xml data, but doesnt finish.

Im using data from epgstream.net. Ive used this data in the past and it worked ok.

Should I be using the dtd file from xmltv or from epgstream.net in the folder with the tvguide.xml?

Ive tried swapping them, and re-downloading the data, but the error remains the same. Would be good to know which one is the correct file though.

One thing I dont understand is why it continues to say "importing data" even after the folder with tvguide.xml has been deleted. What do I have to do to re-set the import?

Does anyone know how to fix this?
