[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1085965, member: 82144"] Hello Ron Thanks for investigating. :) No, not for names. On checking the code I can see the problem with brackets, but it relates to the ID, not the name: [code] int id = (int)row.Cells["Id"].Value; string guideChannelAndexternalId = (string)row.Cells["guideChannel"].Value; string externalId = null; if (guideChannelAndexternalId != null) { int startIdx = guideChannelAndexternalId.LastIndexOf("(") + 1; // the length is the same as the length - startingidex -1 (-1 -> remove trailing )) externalId = guideChannelAndexternalId.Substring(startIdx, guideChannelAndexternalId.Length - startIdx - 1); }[/code] When you load up a tvguide.xml you can see that the guide channels display as "<name> (<XMLTV ID>)". When the plugin goes to save the mappings it parses the XMLTV ID from that grid string. So, you can probably now see the problem with having brackets is due to the use of brackets in the XMLTV ID. There would be no problem if the name had brackets... but the ID is a different story. mm [/QUOTE]
