Radio Times XMLTV has been fixed (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter metropolis
- Start date
I still find that it wont always download the whole xml file. 
Guys,
It appears that since the Radiotimes website has been back online.. that the grabber can no longer restrict the amount of data (i.e. I have always had my grabber days set to 7, but since the change to the website, my xmltv file now contains all days & dates that are available on the site).
Can anybody else confirm the same issue?
Cheers
Darren

Yep, same here.
Not complaining, just glad it's working.
Me too, however I found that grabbing 14 days worth isnt ideal as the tv schedules tend to be a hit and miss affair around the 10-14 day mark (with a lot of these simply coming back as 'To be announced' and can be quite annoying
[more so to my better half!] )Hope James or some other dev can look into ?
Thanks for confirming Ray,
Cheers

Hi Darren
I guess you are not using TVE3 as the "Delete old programs before import" was introduced about 6 months ago in the XmlTV2 plugin (which is now XmlTV, having replaced the original XmlTV plugin) to cater for exactly this problem.
This means that the data is deleted from the EPG database just before the tvguide.xml file is imported. You still have the benefits of 14 days EPG ahead where available but you don't end up with a guide full of "To be announced" after a week or so of running. Also, if there are any programme changes these are picked up (although you would still have issues if you have scheduled a recording for a programme that has changed). I guess the ideal would be if the importer can recognise differences and replace them with the imported data as this will be more up to date than that held in databases.

Well, here you need to look at what is happening in the Media Portal player. And find someone who understands how it works.

Hmm, seems to me that there is something very non-standard about your win 7 setup on top of the fact that MS no longer support Win 7 and very little testing has been done in conjunction with it and the latest versions of Media Portal, basically because hardly anyone is using that version of the OS any longer. By all means continue...
