Hi Alan, I've just managed to catch up with this too! I think it would be of great benefit when you get the chance (and I know these chances are not often!) to look at this. I would imagine if auntie beeb has handed this over to an extraneous company there will be 1 of 2 positions. MetaBroadcast wil...

Alan, you really are the tops! The result now of course with the imported xml is: <channel id="157"> <display-name>Film24</display-name> </channel> Would this be rolled out with any further XMLTVGUI releases or is this something special that needs tweaking for me to keep a handy note of fo...

Hi Alan, many thanks for your continued support for DigiGuide. Whilst configuring my NextPVR set up I have noticed something that I'm sure at one point worked in the past but am not sure when it stopped! I have a mix of DigiGuide and RT data. I have this configured as 2 x grabs. The 1st is just a st...

Alan,

once again, thank you! Trying it later

cheers

Hi Alan, to further this thread I had now found a very comfortable solution to combine 2 different grabs, 1 for RT 1 for Digiguide. However I have now noticed in the past couple of days that RT has returned a 'few' programmes (about 800) compared with a usual 16000 or so. In effect what this has mea...

Ah ha, now I've got you, was not thinking logically earlier, of course these methods will work

Off to tweak!

Thank you so much again

very best

Hi Alan, many thanks for such a swift reply. Unfortunately I can't see how this would resolve my problem as surely I would still end up with an .xml combining both the RT Digiguide data? My problem is that I end up with an .xml ONLY containing the digiguide data. When this epg.xml is loaded into GB-...

Hi Alan, after discussion over on the GB-PVR forums I discovered that I never get an aborted .xml file write if the RT grab returns no data. I actually did not know this was possible since xmltvgui v3.11! I am guessing this is because for a few channels that are not on the RT listings I use the digi...

the latest version of html entities should fix the problem: https://www.birtles.org.uk/svn/xmltv/compiled/lib/htmlentities.lua Let me know if everything is working and I will make a new release in a few days You are a genius Sir! result from grab with 3.13 and new htmlentities: 22:27:48 - Starting ...

I too find the digiguide support very useful, as well as XMLTVGUI just being brilliant anyway.

I just donated too.

Alan if you haven't got enough yet to cover the subscription let us know!

very best

Alan, if you got donations at least enough (hopefully more) to cover a year's digiguide subscription would you consider development?

Steeb

just use the 3.12 digiguide grabber for the moment

OK many thanks Alan

Hi Alan, Using XMLTV GUI as a combination of grabbing some channels from Digiguide and most from RT. After initial install of 3.13 I got an error message at start up of XMLTV GUI package htmlentities not found, tried running a grab anyway but it went straight to grab RT listings. Looked in back up f...
