It says Invalid XML file: Input string was not in a correct format.

I get the same error with a xml file from xmltv and webepg.
It imports the channels, but not guidedata
Confirmed on two different server, norwegian grabber

tvguide.xml enclosed

I can confirm the problems with importing the tvguide.xml file. This issue is produced with SVN snapshots from 04-05-2007, because with snapshot 03-28-2007 this issue work fine.

I have investigated this bug and I have discover the cause into XmlTvImport plug-in. If a program has not set the "starRating" field, the XML file is not read correctly. I have found that the bug is in the following line of XMLTVImport.cs (line 570):

Program prog = new Program(channel.IdChannel, longtodate(startDate), longtodate(stopDate), title, description, category, false, DateTime.MinValue, seriesNum, episodeNum, Convert.ToInt32(starRating), clasification);

If "starRating" variable is empty, Convert.ToInt32(starRating) produces an exception and therefore the import process is interrumped. If startRating variable is set to "0" when the file does not include the "startRating" field, the file should be imported correctly.

I hope that you fix this issue.

Hi rublopez,

Thanks for figuring this out. TVServer builds starting from rev#13914 will fix this issue.

Kind regards,
Michel

Just tested latest build (compiled by myself), it seems to be fixed when the value is nothing(no data in tvguide.xml), but when the starrating is something like "3/4" it gives the same error.

Grabbed with JXMLTV from www.teveblad.be, they seem to always give a rating like .../4, 1/4, 2/4, 2.5/4, 4/4.


Just letting you guys know, theres a small bug....

This has been fixed in build 13914, some still have problems

Correct,

The code still expects a regular number (out of five), while the xmltv spec says its "N / M". I'll leave this open for the one who implemented this feature to deal with it correctly. At least import now works when no rating is present.

Kind regards,
Michel
