    What time do you have WebEPG scheduled?

    I think I saw a problem the other day when running WebEPG around midnight 24:00.

    I will need to test this some more.

    Hi James,

    currently I have scheduled it at 03:30 am.

    As far as I remember I tried also 6:00 pm (18:00) without any significant change of the problem, but I am not sure.

    Best regards,

    moobekk.

    if you want to prove my theory:
    delete all your TV listings (clear button in config)
    update with one day only.
    if it is Monday and the first item in the guide foes from sun 11:30 to Mon 1:30 you will see it get put as starting at Mon 11:30 and all the rest of the programs will follow after this.

    as far as I know this is a limitation of webepg and can only be fixed by using another grabber. I wrote my own grabbing software (grabs from a non-xmltv format XML file and translated it) and mine works fine now. I also use TVxb with the option for out of order programs and programs going over day boarders, it seems to work but I can't 100% guarantee that one.

    if you know of an XML source similar to the one for Australia available at http://d1.com.au/D1xmltv.asmx I can possibly modify my software to work with it for you.

    I dont think so,.
    I installed the MediaPortal-svn--02-12-2007--01-01-Rev12938.exe and updated EPG.
    After the next boot the dates were once again one Day out of sync :(

    Hi James,

    I have seen a very similar problem. Some channels, see below, don't have their dates incremented from one day to the next. The result is that consecutive days from the EPG are scheduled on the same day, i.e. "overlapping".

    I have attached the webEPG.xml and webepg.log files. Have a look at channel svt2@svt.se. For the 16th and 17th it looks OK. For the 18th and onwards the "command string" http://www.dagenstv.com/se/chart/?dat=2007-02-18&cha=22 etc looks OK but all channel info are listed as for Feb 17th regardless of the date...

    The same goes for Kunskapkanalen a bit further down as well as Barnkanalen.

    I am using the latest SVN.

    Any ideas?

    /Peter

    I forgot...

    I typically run the webgrabber at 0500am but I also tried to run it now, i.e. 10pm and it seems to make no difference.

    Hi Peter,

    I've just made an update which I hope will finally fix this problem ;)
