How should newlines be formatted in XMLTV <desc> tag to also make them displayed inside MP?

Regular newlines (just \n) do not appear to work. Do I need to add HTML tags like <br />? Wouldn't that conflict with XML?

    New line codes are:

    1. Carriage return: &#xD;
    2. Line feed: &#xA;
    You could also format the xml using CDATA, like this:

    <desc><![CDATA[ stuff goes in here
    then a new line
    then the CDATA end tag ]]></desc>

    CDATA preserves text formatting.

    I agree about the dash instead of colon on the LIVE thing. I did a little change to get the current program, just removed the D from the tags. Not that important, so I dont upload any new file. A little sad about the end time, but nothing to do about it.

    Can anyone tell me the step-by-step procedure for bringing up a second channel in pip mode? I can only do it sometimes, after many tries, and it’s not clear what I am doing that makes it work on those occasions when it does. Cannot find guidance on the site. Thanks, N. Again, if anyone knows how to do this, would be much...

    It is present, but not with that name. It is called Scheduler, viz: Interesting. I had never noticed that when the "command" is "ACTION", the "cmdproperty" is the actual window id, but it makes sense that it is. Try this for yourself. First backup your working profile for the remote, then in the "Mapping" panel make a change to...
