[QUOTE="niblick, post: 377419, member: 27862"] I've recently started getting this error from the xmltv plugin : 2009-02-13 15:37:55.762500 [XmlTvImporter]: XML tv import error loading C:\Data\xmltv\uk.xml err:Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 560, position 38. at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e) The character at this position is a '£' - not unusual in UK english text. Also had a problem later with the 'ç' in façade - a bit more unusual in UK english text but it was a BBC Four program.:rolleyes: If I remove all instances of these characters manually from the xml file, the import finishes normally. Surprisingly, I don't find many references to this type of error in the forums - is this a known issue or have I missed a config option somewhere to ignore 'foreign' characters? [/QUOTE]
