Hi all,

1:45pm Sun. 24th Oct.

Is RadioTimes down at the moment...............was working fine last night, but I was making changes today by adding an XMLTV import and now am getting zero results.
Stripped my channels right down to a wee test and still broken.

HI,

Been doing a bit of testing here and xmltv.exe is able to grab data from RadioTimes and create an XML file, but XMLTV GUI isn't. I presume both pieces of software use the same source?

Is there anything I'm missing?

Ian.

try turning off caching in the grabber settings, there is a chance it has cached a broken set of files from earlier

[alanbirtles]

just tried xmltv.exe and got no data, it also has a cache so may have cached some listings from a time when there were some. to check whether listings are available go to http://xmltv.radiotimes.com/xmltv/92.dat, if all you see is a copyright notice then there are no listings at the moment

[IanJ]

Jings!......that explains why my XML file is missing some data, and why my EPG (Mediaportal) is an hour out for some channels only. It's a new install and the first EPG I loaded was yesterday when RT was working but I had the time offset wrong. So now with only partial data from RT I'm only getting some channels at the correct time.

Tearing my hair out.....but hopefully thats the reasons.

Thanks again for a great prog.

Ian.
