Just downloaded latest SVN build on TVE3 (13805) and get the error

03/04/2007 23:22:30 XML tv import error loading D:\HTPC\MediaPortal\XMLTV\tvguide.xml err:Input string was not in a correct format.

When loading the TVGuide.xml file.

I use WEPEPG to create the file, 95% of this is from the Radiotimes UK site with the odd channel from Digiguide.

Reverted back to SVN 13727.

Logs and TVGuide.xml attached

Thanks....

Seems the latest changes to EPG program table may have upset things...not a moan just testing....if you need any further testing or more information let me know.

Keep up the great work!

not importing xmltv data in current SVN

Further to this I have don some testing using todays Snapshot (SVN 13819) with TVGuide.xml produced from both WEBEG and XMLTV GUI v3.07.00 and the same error exists.

Not sure if this is just specific to me, is anyone else having this problem?

Thanks

I'm having the same problem using JXMLTV

I guess it probably has something to do with the new fields datefirst shown and rating, when not in a correct format it gives an error, or when nothing is there it want's to put in an empty string or the conversion from string to date and int doesn't work.

Conversion datetime

""= ERROR
"2007"= ERROR
"2007-01-01" = OK

Conversion int
""= ERROR
"1"= OK

I'm just guessing...

perhaps rtv can shed some light on this bug

 

[trevor]

Thanks, at least I know it's not my setup, I looked at the SF patch and that was more ZapIt related, well so it seems.

Stopped testing of further SVN releases for me currently, may have a look at the code if I can manage to compile and install it this end.

It's a pretty annoying bug, perhaps rtv can add a checkbox somewhere, so that whe can still run the old code like previous builds, but at the same time test the new code with more epg fields when the checkbox is enabled.

THIS will never happen at any place since SVN is just work in progress - If you dare using it "in production" find a build which suits better for your needs.

Every EPG importer needs to check / update for the new DB schema. Give it a few days...

 

[D4bFz3awSRYHKjr3]

So if I remove the extra fields from the database, everything would be OK. There aren't any code changes in xmltv importer plugin, just some extra DB fields?

 

[rtv]

Harhar, no - code change is needed and already there but only "generally" to compile okay - not to work 100% yet

 

[D4bFz3awSRYHKjr3]

so just removing the extra fields from the DB will still result in an error, because there is some code that looks for the extra fields, but it is buggy code?

Am I right in this?

I think that I'm gonna have too teach myself some C# and take a look at the code, than I can see wats going on for myself.

Is C# totally different from VB.net?

 

[D4bFz3awSRYHKjr3]

I just took a look at the source code, I can write an acounting app in VB.net, but this is beyond my knowledge.

When will the code be updated of xmltv plugin?
