[QUOTE="ShinZan, post: 507082, member: 74987"] [b]tvguide.xml shot over[/b] Thanks very much for the information here is the tvguide.xml file. If the problem is the xml file (which it seems to be) then i should mention that this is the command I Run in the batch file that downloads the tvguide.xml via mc2xml.exe app located on this forum: Start /W /D "c:\storage\recordings\tvguide" mc2xml -o tvguide.xml To save yourself the hassle of rooting around in the xml file here is an example of a program tag: <programme start="20090907200000 -0400" stop="20090907210000 -0400" channel="I3.28459634.microsoft.com"> <title lang="en">Law & Order: Criminal Intent</title> <sub-title lang="en">Alpha Dog</sub-title> <desc lang="en">When a model turns up dead after a night of love .....</desc> <credits> <actor>Vincent D'Onofrio</actor> <actor>Kathryn Erbe</actor> <actor>Jeff Goldblum</actor> <actor>Julianne Nicholson</actor> <actor>Eric Bogosian</actor> <guest>Roger Rees</guest> <guest>Jennifer Missoni</guest> <guest>Nestor Serrano</guest> <guest>Ryan Locke</guest> <guest>Sabine Singh</guest> </credits> <date>20090802</date> <category lang="en">Drama</category> <category lang="en">Episodic</category> <category lang="en">Series</category> [B]<episode-num system="onscreen">E8007</episode-num> <episode-num system="dd_progid">EP00446173.0170</episode-num>[/B] <audio> <stereo>stereo</stereo> </audio> <previously-shown start="20090802000000" /> <subtitles type="teletext" /> <rating system="VCHIP"> <value>TV-14</value> </rating> </programme> Armed with the information the xml parsing spec in your post i rooted around and removed the lines in bold one at a time in both orders and it didn't error out on that program that i could tell in the logs (it errored out on the next one) but i figured perhaps it would import at least that one program with a blank episode number but it didn't.
