Hope this helps:

		<star-rating>
			<value>12+, Geweld, Angst</value>
		</star-rating>

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.

@rtv:

You are rigth. It is the ParseStarRating method which fails as it expects a format like "5.2/10" which obviously is not provided. I will fix it and post it here.

Attached is a zip archive which contains an updated XmlTvImport.dll and the new ParseStarRating method.
Please check if the problem is resolved.

rtv: can you replace the existing ParseStarRating method with the one of the archive?
BTW: I was not able to build the latest XmlTvImport.cs from the SVN due to syntax errors
(e.g. exception is at one place written lower case) which my compiler do not like. Maybe you
can check that as well.

grubi.

Hey lewi0146 - this issue was effecting my WAF as well so I just wrote a little python script to strip the star-ratings out of tvguide. let me know if you'd like a copy.

Can you check if my previously attached dll solves the problem?
Thx.

Het BKCH,

lol, thanks, but since discovering this issue I had a dig around and found this:

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/australian_tv_gui_new_extras-t25064.html

and works fine for me using the oztivo guide here in Australia...not sure it that helps you

cheers,

Trent

grubi thanks for looking into it further! I made a really dumb mistake with not checking properly if it still compiled. :sorry:

I did add your new ParseStarRating function that properly checks if the format is as expected.

 

[rtv]

But that only cures the symptom... The bug itself has to be fixed as well - this site's grabber shouldn't use the starrating field at all..

Of course you are right. But we should do anything possible that malformed input from external programs do not break our own programs. We cannot fix the bugs of other programs nore do I really want to do this

i replaced (renamed the old one) XmlTvImport.dll, but it still had the same error

PS. I'm pretty sure this is the programme it spits the chewy on (it says it import 2 shows and this is the 3rd). I hope this helps

The entry you post looks correct. Did you restart the TVService otherwise the renamed dll will still be used.

grubi.

wrong dll was attached to archive - should work now
