XMLTV file not importing to database automatically (1 Viewer)

[Dannyboyni]

Thanks for confirming my settings are correct Andrusha. But its still not loading however i might know whats wrong, could you confirm please.

When I go to mappings the group option is blank, so I select that drop down and select All channels group. I click load/refresh button, and its showing my channels with the guide channels correctly. So that must be getting that from the TVguide.xml. I save that and open media portal, still no guide .

Is it because the mappings is not showing all channels group as default, i.e. I must always drop down the list to select all channels.

If you have no idea I will just post logs too see if the developer can help.

Hmm I just went into Manual Control in TV Server Configuration, and I stopped the service, then I started it again, and that seemed to import the tvguide.

So does this mean I must stop and start the tv server each night that I import the TV guide?

Im so close after so many setbacks to getting tv fully working, I would use on the record but must wait for new release to get BBC HD and BBC One hd working.

Seems stopping and starting the service again fixed my problem, yay for now!

Dannyboyni, may be U have trouble with setting time to import new tvguide? As i mentioned, after new xml file was pasted into directory, it is about several minutes might pass, before tv guide will appear in MP.

Just a few notes you might find helpful:

• If you do not have multiple xmltv sources, you do not need tvguide.lst file and you should not enable importing from tvguide.lst.
• xmltv import plugin starts a new import every time the tvguide.xml file's modified time changes. If your grabber progressively writes to the file, you should configure the grabber to write the file to some other directory then move the file to tvserver's xmltv directory.
• if you enable/disable a tvserver plugin you have to restart tvserver for the changes to take effect (probably this is why restarting tvserver fixed your issue).

I am having trouble to get the tv server to import the tvguide.xml automatic.
I can import manual with the import button without problems.
I have configured my grabber to download epg every day at 1200 and it makes a new tvguide.xml file (and changing the modified date)
If I stop and start tvservice it imports automatic. But only one time. After that I have to stop and start the service again to import (a new tvguide.xml) automatic again.
This problem is new to me because i recently build a tvserver that runs 24/7. Before that my old server went into standby when I did not use it and restarted tvservice on resume. And with the old server I never experienced the problem.
So i think that there must be a problem with automatic xmltv import when running 24/7.

Can anyone confirm?

I am running 1.2.1 with a dedicated tv server.

Does your logs from TV-Server show anything about the XMl-import?

Sorry

But after reading my error log I found:

2011-10-25 20:32:35.360013 [(17)]: plugin:xmltv StartImport - File [D:\epg\tvguide.lst] doesn't have read access : Filen 'D:\epg\tvguide.lst' blev ikke fundet.

And obvious the "Import files in new tvguide.lst" was checked.
I unchecked it and it imported right away.

My fault. Sorry

No problem. Just glad you sorted it out

Hi!

I have the same problem. I use WebGrab++ to grab the epg, this works fine. The XML file is updated fine and the timestamp changed.
But XMLTV will not automatical update the changes in the EPG. If I press the manual import button it works fine.
There is no error in the log. The tvguide.lst option is not markted.

Does anyone has an idea what to do?
