I'm getting the same error, complaining about startIndex cannot be less than zero.

Looking at what rtv and jonywee said its probably becuase the xml pluging is trying to parse "<value>12+, Geweld, Angst</value>" rather than "12+, Geweld, Angst". Probably just need to read the value element rather than the star ratting element.... Maybe the change from ReadString to ReadInnerXML caused this, although looking at the docs for ReadString it probably would have returned nothing at all from reading the star rating element

Almost same error here. Using SVN snapshot 15757 (sept 06 2007):
tvguide.xml:Invalid XML File: StartIndex cannot be less than zero. Parameter name: startIndex

I narrowed the error to a single programme node in the xml file. It happens when I remove all star-rating nodes from the document, all 5K programs get imported successfully.

Hope this helps:

		<title lang="nl">Pavarotti, eenzame hoogte</title>
		<desc lang="nl">In verband met het overlijden van Luciano Pavarotti, zendt de TROS als eerbetoon een documentaire over deze grootheid uit. Pavarotti is meer dan 's werelds bekendste operazanger. Hij is een internationaal fenomeen, een merknaam voor opera, bekend op ieder continent.

Met zijn plan om eind 2005 te stoppen met optreden, gaf Pavarotti in 2003 een televisie-crew uitgebreid de mogelijkheid een kijkje te nemen in zijn privéleven, zijn vele reizen en optredens. De documentaire volgt hem gedurende 2003 tijdens zijn optredens voor
enthousiast publiek in Italië, Duitsland, Mexico, Engeland, Rusland en de Verenigde Staten. Hij wordt achter de schermen gevolgd tijdens zijn afscheidsvoorstelling van Tosca in The Met in New York en tijdens zijn reünie met de Drie Tenoren in Bath. Samen met
José Carreras en Plácido Domingo vormde Pavarotti de meest succesvolste groep van klassieke zangers ooit. 
 
Verschillende bewonderaars van Pavarotti komen aan het woord, onder wie Bono, Michael Caine, Dustin Hofman en Lionel Richie. Er is exclusief beeldmateriaal van de doop van zijn baby en beelden van de enige ploeg die aanwezig mocht zijn tijdens zijn huwelijk. 
 
De film is een ongeëvenaard portret van een groot tenor die wereldwijd de ambassadeur was voor opera.

In verband met deze extra ingelaste documentaire vervalt de geplande uitzending van Flikken.</desc>

Good work. Should be enough information to track down the problem.
Let me take a look into it.

Regards,
grubi.

problem should be fixed in svn15807 tho star-rating should look like :
<star-rating>
<value>3/3</value>
</star-rating>

Hmm working on the same issue simultaneously.
Maybe you would like to take a look at what I have done.
I think this is maybe more error prone if nodes contain subnodes in general.

Regards,
grubi.

I don't think nodes contain subnodes in general, just in this specific case it does.

And i adding the content off all subnodes in a single result value would not give a meaningfull in most cases.

If you want we could discuss on IRC what the best way is to interpret the xml file?

I simply want to get sure that after the function call you do not get lost at an subnode, similar to ReadInnerXML which was used previously. I discussed this also with "rtv" and he said he would consider using ReadInnerXML more save and I think he was proven right. However the fix you supplied works and so it's ok I think.

Hi - I'm still having XMLTV import problems - I'm running build 15812 and my error is:

9/09/2007 1:10:10 PM 10 XML tv import error loading E:\XMLTV\Server\tvguide.xml errtartIndex cannot be less than zero.
Parameter name: startIndex

I've found the entry that causes the problem - but I'm not sure why as it seems to conform:

<programme channel="ABC-NSW" start="20070909030000" stop="20070909033000">
<title>Gardening Australia</title>
<desc>Gardening advice, knowledge and handy tips for all types of gardens and in all types of conditions across Australia.</desc>

<category>Gardening</category>
<category>Outdoors</category>
<category>Arts and Living</category>
<star-rating><value>0/10</value></star-rating>
<rating><value>G</value></rating>
</programme>

Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi - I stripped the programme entry down to the following and still get the error - it's definitely the <star-rating> entry that's causing the problem.

<programme channel="ABC-NSW" start="20070909060000" stop="20070909062500">
<title>Antonin Kubalek: Concert In Prague</title>

<star-rating><value>2/3</value></star-rating>
</programme>

HI All,

I too noticed this error earlier and saw that people were working on a resolution. I was excited this morning when I read that there was a fix and it worked. I hurriedly downloaded both the today's svn and tve3 and went through the install/upgrade process. However, a reboot or two later, the startIndex error is still there, eg from the tvserver error.log

9/9/2007 2:35:24 PM 10 XML tv import error loading C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\XMLTV\tvguide.xml errtartIndex cannot be less than zero.
Parameter name: startIndex

Please resolve this issue...the WAF is dwindling rapidly

cheers,

Trent

Something else is wrong here (cannot check right now) ; either the nl-grabber you're using or its EPG provider in general is misusing the "star-rating" field. An "USK rating of 12 for violence" should be inserted into the DB-field "Classification" and if it always supplies the age then additionally fill "parentalRating" with that.
