Hi,

I tried to setup EPG for Germany within MediaPortal 0.2.2 ... there are two choices for teh grabber tvtoday and tvinfo. However I am having trouble with both (having 20 channels and 10 days to receive).

If I configure all channels to use tvtoday, only some are working, other are getting error messages in the webepg.log that webepg cannot parse the data, so some channels are left empty. The channels containing data are not looking nice within MediaPortal as there are multiple lines per entry shown which leads to a completely disorted display for the programm.

2007-01-02 20:38:16.749910 [Info.][1]: WebEPG: Reading http://www.tvtoday.de/tv/programm/programm.php?ztag=0&sparte=alle&uhrzeit=05:00:00&sender=3SAT&von=0 POST:

2007-01-02 20:38:20.955958 [Warn.][1]: WebEPG: Program Count (0) < Listing Count (13), possible template error

If I use tvinfo and only choose to grab 2 days in advance it sometimes works, but mostly especially with more days to grab the webepg task ends with the following messages in the log file:

2007-01-02 19:36:17.051246 [ERROR][1]: WebEPG: Fatal Error
2007-01-02 19:36:17.051246 [ERROR][1]: WebEPG: Unable to read data from the transport connection: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt..
2007-01-02 19:36:17.051246 [Info.][1]: WebEPG: Finished
Click to expand...

If tvinfo manages to grab the data and write a tvguide.xml correctly it looks nice within MediaPortal.

Any suggestions what I am doing wrong? Btw, it does not matter if the PC is connected via WLAN or LAN to the internet (DSL with 6 MBit/sec).

Bye,

krimskrams

    Sorry krimskrams, no solution but I can at least confirm your problems with tvmovie. Same thing here.

    Tvinfo works fine here. I had similar problems long time ago (sorry, don't know the exact error.log entry any more...) when my internet connection was not stable, i.e. dsl line drops and reconnects. Perhaps you can check this in your dsl-router.

    cheers,

    Michael

    Hi,

    I just checked the logfile of my DSL router ... there were no problems with the connection.

    First of all it's working again. But not perfectly: the grabbing of sublinks doesn't work. Here the log entry:

    Hi Hawkeye,

    All the examples of this I have seen have a description in the popup? How often does this happen?

    I cannot current fix this with the current template. I will need to make some code changes/additions.

    Yes, all of these examples have popup-description. It happens quite often but I couldn't find out a pattern for it. But it seems to me that the link isn't recognized correctly...
