I encountered the same error while trying to get epg for all the channels. If anyone is still having trouble with this, give the following a shot:
- rename your tvguide.xml
- open tvserver config and press Import so that it comes up with a window saying it doesn't exist, exit the config
- stop tvservice (check in task manager to make sure it has stopped)
- start tvservice
- wait a couple of mins for tvservice to settle down (you can see this in task manager)
- open Mediaportal, go to tvguide, they should be populated with no errors
when I start Tvconfig and use button "force import" it is imported correctly
but it is not a sollution
i don't want to do it manually every day
i have script which download and convert tvguide automatically but now tvpotral can'd import it at first time
i think it is a bug
I have had that problem before. You should just follow the advice of Macavity. Just do it once and everything should be fine. you don't have to do it every day.
Try: "force import" -> it works -> stop TV service -> start TV service -> slightly modify tvguide.xml so that is it imported once again -> it should work.
