[QUOTE="mrceolla, post: 1145341, member: 109048"] Thanks for the reply. 1-3 are not the issue. 4 is obvious to me but what log file would this be in? The regular MP log or the TV-Service log? Here is what the developer wrote back to me, which seems to indicate MP needs some updating: ----------------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately I don't have any experience with Media Portal. It seems like Media Portal has some problem as you aren't the first to report it. Other PVR software is working fine. The xmltv.xml file is valid according to the xmltv.dtd definition (using xmllint) so I can only guess it is a problem within Media Portal? Here is what I wrote to someone else recently: === If I try to think about what is different in the xmltv.xml (compared to the one from the legacy service) I can only point to the "<icon" lines, and maybe the channel IDs having more "."'s in them. (for subchannels)? If you download sed (a command line search and replace utility) and remove them from your tvguide.xml, perhaps that might work? I am just making a wild guess. If you want to try: Download & install: [URL='https://remote.encompassmp.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=ZJGY_AyNtkKfEz4-i3YaeFU1O2_PnNIIN7CaF2tPONYz3BhgQohRvPD90txNtl7jlSCu-YgmMwI.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fgnuwin32.sourceforge.net%2fpackages%2fsed.htm'][U] http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/sed.htm[/U][/URL] (complete package) Run (change paths): c:\path\sed\bin\sed.exe "/<icon/d" c:\tvguide.xml > c:\tvguidenew.xml That command removes all <icon... lines from tvguide.xml and outputs tvguidenew.xml And then try to import tvguidenew.xml (or copy it over tvguide.xml) Again, it is just a wild guess and could be completely wrong.
