Alan, thanks again, just confirming all working fine. Got a little confused initially as I have XMLTVConsole.exe in my batch file and that had not been updated (running XMLTVGUI.exe now in batch file OK).

Wow, that was quick, thanks Alan, will check it out tomorrow when I get home.

Alan, just helping sub in the GB-PVR forums improve the support for Digiguide data imported into GB-PVR (and NPVR) using XMLTVGUI and have noticed a issue with my XMLTV file. I use the grab command "XmltvConsole.exe /D7" to restrict to the next 7 days but my XMLTV file includes data for th...

I just sent a another donation as I find the Digiguide support so useful.
Happy to do any testing, provide files etc.
Thanks again Alan.

Thanks again for all your time on this.

Oops you are absoultely right. The svn updates work beautifully now.
Thanks again

Working great now, thanks. Only minor thing is that I still need to modify to add the +1 to episode number. E.G take this programme where the actual episode is Series 8 Episode 13. So the episode number is out by one. It is also a little confusing for Digiguide users as the E8/12 might imply that it...

...Just noticed I got an error in the log file so it mught be me...checking 20:09:24 - Starting pass 1 of processor PrgDets 20:09:24 - C:\Program Files\XMLTV GUI\scripts/prog_details.lua:15: bad argument #2 to `find' (string expected, got no value) 20:09:24 - Grab failed on program "" 20:0...

Thanks Alan, this svn looks good though for some reason I still cannot get the episode numbers to appear in the sub-title. Take this example programme. <programme start="20080606200000 +0100" stop="20080606210000 +0100" channel="104"> <title>Deadliest Catch</title> <sub...

actually after checking the processor code it does seem to be correct and handles everything correctly Alan, sorry I don't understand. Are you saying that: 1. prog_details.lua is correct not to add a +1 onto the second episode parameter? 2. The digiguide section in xmltv_parse.lua for episodes is c...

Further to my bit above about the subtitle and series/episode numbers. I've found that Digiguide uses a different definition making the text incorrect I.E. Prog_details sets it to be for example Episode 1 of 22 but Digiguide uses format such as Series 1 Episode 1 This is the section I've changed in ...

Alan, ran the svn (assume just replace the new uk_digi.lua) and it works really well. Much quicker. I've made a couple of changes to get the series/episode numbers working in the sub-title. Specifically: In prog_details.lua last +1 was missing else str=string.format("Episode %d of %d",nums...

Alan, brilliant. That works a treat for the channel numbers. I'm not having any reliability problems now but will try to test the svn build tomorrow when I get time.
thanks again for the support.

I think I've narrowed it down to the timeouts so memory might not be an issue. I had put in longer timeouts (10000) and I got the error, if I left it at default it worked fine (which is why my reinstall fixed it). I now get 3 read timeouts but it completes OK (I can try small increases if necessary ...

Scrub the above. I tried reinstalling XMLTV (I had previously installed over top of RT install) and with this fresh install it worked OK. Weird.
Now the test it in GB-PVR
thanks for quick reply but I did not need it (yet).
