Hi

I'm having some issues with funny codes in my epg listings, where <br> is scattered all over the program data such as in the description field.
Anybody knows how to solve this?

Kind regards
Martin

    I get the same issue too, since i changed grabbers.
    I think WebEPG is handling everything correctly and replacing certain codes with their equivalent, but mp doesn't change them back when displaying them.

    EG, &lt; is the > character, &gt; is < and &amp; is &

    So Law & Order becomes Law &amp; Order

    I'm using the danish grabber TVGG which creates a tvguide.xml just as xmltv does. I have recently switched from old to the new tv engine. There wasn't these problems with the old one, so I gather it has to do with the new xmltv importer?

    Thanks CyberSimian, I was afraid my memory was faulty regarding that. On the plus side I played around with powershell last night and got a semi-working solution going.

    Thank you for performing this test, and confirming @joecrow 's suspicion as to the cause of the problem. In principle the same problem exists with other EPG sources, such as the broadcast EPG that I use with DVB-T/T2. When a programme first appears in the EPG (7 days ahead of its broadcast time), some programmes have a generic...
