XMLTV and Digiguide issues (1 Viewer)

[rlogue]

Hi there,

I'm not sure if anyone else has had these issues, but here goes:

I'm using my Digiguide web service to build a tvguide.xml file that generally works nicely except for two issues:

1: BBC Three, BBC Four, ITV2, ITV3 and ITV4 all seem to show the same listings as each other no matter how many times I specifically map the correct channel to the correct listings. I have saved my configuration and each time I reload the configuration I get all these channels mapping to the BBC3 listings.

2: Irish characters used by RTE Radio 1, TG4, RTE R na G are scrambled so instead of an É character I get A~@ or something like that.

I am having a similar problem. I map all the channels and then when I go back a number of channels are mapped incorrectly to another channel (all the same)

Are you using the xmltv GUI?

I am yes

What I did is to add 'dummy' channel numbers for all those channels which don't have them, inside the digiguide software. When you are assigning the channels to the tvguide.xml within TVServer you should then see these numbers in brackets after the channel, they should be unique numbers (in the TVGuied.xml they are the 'channel id' numbers).

Make sure you only have the xmltv.dtd and the generated TVGuide.xml in the folder that you set the xmltv plugin pointing at.

Then go through the the xmltv mappings, making sure to match up all channels correctly, then obviously press save.

Another thing to try is to set up the import schedule and let this run on it's own as manual imports always seemed to import with weird errors. Schedule it to run in the morning of the next day and see if that helps.

Brilliant, that worked. Thank you
