    come to #mediaportal on efnet and give us those non working xml's in MP if they do work in other apps.

    Problem about xmltv is that there r soooo many different versions.
    So we simply extend the importer when a non working one comes around.
    No problem.

    So, hope seeing you guys soon, then maybe it can make it in 0.0.0.5 :)

    k,

    the problem is that xml is case-sensative.
    You guys do:
    <Display-Name lang="en">Channel Seven</Display-Name>

    wich should be
    <display-name lang="en">Channel Seven</display-name>

    MP is changed to accept this now but I advice you guys to change this as you really need it to be low case as other programs may also show this problem.

    Bugger, what a simple mistake. Thanks MrMario64 for your quick response. I've just implemented the change (just changed a line of code), so if anyone wants the new version, please PM me.

    I can certainly confirm that your old version Sam works in 0.0.5.

    Thanks to everyone for this.

    Can anyone host this for Sam? Its only about 10KB.

    I get the
    ERROR! - no channel icon found for free.Melbourne.9!
    message too.

    After that message, the script continues to download the data. It takes around 1-2 minutes to gather the half meg worth of data.

    But I'm sure you've waited longer than that, right? :)

    If you have perl experience, maybe you can run the script in debug mode and see where it's hanging - message me what you find. We should take this debugging offline. I'll pm you.

    Otherwise, since others have had success with Sam's script, you might like to try that.

    The 'no channel icon for free.Melbourne.9' error occurs in my program as well. I had a look at what the D1 web service returns, and it isn't a fault of the programs, rather the D1 web service is missing the channel 9 icon for some odd reason.

    I also have never used a set-top box with MP, but I think that you need to use an IR emitter (aka "IR blaster"). The IRSS software controls the emitter, and transmits IR signals under the direction of MP. The IR signal is received by the IR receiver within the set-top box, and so can be used to change channel and so on. The set-top...
