The reason for the error is that there's an error in your source document complet.xml, at the end of the document the tag </tv> isn't there. I can't help you with that, you can ask the webmaster of that site to adress the issue.

Or manually download the file and add the tag, then let XMLTV reWriter use the local file, this is a workaround until your source file is fixed.

Yes indeed i added that tag and could import it. I try to find the person making that file via the zguidetv forum. I hope he will fix it because it's a very complete guide.

Thanks anyway ;-)

Hi, Ocram,
Found this via 4TR

Interesting tool, works nice, but I have 1 problem and 1 question :

P1 : I get : Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 10088, position 663, while processing
I get input from XMLTV-UK and not RyTec, because then I have a "Sub-title) and that is what you need with 4TR as you know !

Q1 : Can I also change the ID ? (Other than/ copy / and the remove the old one )

Hi,

Another question : I run your prog in the middle of the night, but once you discover an error, you stop processing and wait for a key to be pressed, which is never going to happen.
At this moment I process 5 different tvguides, and if the first one fails, all fail and no guides are uploaded to 4TR, so the 4TR guides will run empty after a few days, until the error is noticed somehow.

Q2 : can you not somehow continue generating the files, possibly eg deleting the error line, or anyway continue with processing of the next file ? Alternatively I must schedule 5 prog, each in 5 separeate directory etc
I guess that this was not your intention when you wrote this

Does this happen all the time?

No, there is no direct command to do this

You can import all guides with 1 config, just make sure that IDCHECK=TRUE is used. I have no interest to implement some error detection that will skip that one line, when something is wrong, this would require a lot of time and normally there shouldn't be any errors in the files that you import. also when an error has been found it stops processing and shows an error message that is clearly visible, so it would be hard to not see it for several days.

Just took a quick look at what could cause this, but the encoding of the file that you supplied and what I use is both UTF-8, so that shouldn't give a problem, so I have no idea what could be causing this.

Thanks for the reply Ocram.

Been testing for a while now,

P1 suddenly vanished, must have been something wrong in the source data.
Q1 ok no problem, I think I try a copy/delete then
Q2, I understand, how far to go with error handling indeed. So I split up all 5 into 5 separate directories and separate schedules at night, so if one fails, the other 4 will work anyway.

love your tool.

Ocram,

Regretfully the invalid character error is back, but what is wrong then ? For the record imports the same file without any problem ? Can I ask you to look into thie again ?

[D4bFz3awSRYHKjr3]

can you look it up and tell me wich character it is, also post a small part of the area that gives the error. you previously gave me a line number, but I couldnt find anything at that time

Hi OCRAM,

After some eliminating I found one of the problems :

<programme start="20100531193000 +0100" stop="20100531200000 +0100" channel="bbc1.bbc.co.uk">
<title>DIY SOS</title>
<desc lang="en">Nick Knowles and the team answer the SOS call of a brother &amp; sister to transform their play room into a classy dining room for their grandparents. They want to say thank you for looking after them. The dining room is not the only part to the teamâÂÂs renovation. Surprises are in place for everyone.</desc>
<category lang="en">Interests</category>
<subtitles type="teletext" />
</programme>

No idea why it is looking so strange between "team" and "renovation", still 4TR accepts it and shows strange characters in the description popup. (like: black tilted squares with a white question mark inside)

Flushed caches, tried from another computer, no change.
Might be that somewhere processing is wrong due to the very long descriptions ?

Well basically it looks liks you are too critical in what you process and 4TR just does not care what is inside the description test I guess.

Now what
Is there a tool to filter "non UTF-8" garbage out ?
