The data now hasn't been updated since 29/03...maybe they haven't yet automated the updates?

I bet there are a load of guys in IT who won't be getting much sleep tonight! http://www.radiotimes.com is completely 'off air'. I guess your your mate was right when he said he had more important things to worry about!

In a strange kind of way, thats reassuring. At least it means last weeks upgrade is still going on and that the xmltv stuff hasn't just been forgotten about

Updated today but not being served, too many timeouts...

I managed a full grab just a few minutes ago with apparently no problem. However the listing as displayed in GBPVR has a lot of holes, especially in BBC1 and 2. Do others concur?

No, mine looks pretty complete up to midnight 19th.

Main problem seems to be some First Runs look like reruns, and still no episode numbers...

I definately have only got BBC1 and 2 out to about 5 days. I use BBC1 North West and BBC2 North West. Are they discriminating against us northerners?

Posted: **Fri Apr 06, 2007 10:47 am**

Not northerners because I'm using North East!

Just did a grab of some channels from RT and seems fine.
BBC1 and BBC2 NI out to the 19th looks good. Nothing wrong so far.....

Posted: **Fri Apr 06, 2007 11:15 pm**

North West has been updated is is now full out to the 18th - yes.

I've just noticed BBC1 BBC2 and ITV Yorkshire have run out of data from the Radio Times.
Looking at the RT data, it looks like the generic BBC1, BBC2 and Anglia ITV have over 100k of data whereas my local ones have 2k and looks like local variations only.
Oh Dear!

the website listings are the same, this probably wont get fixed till tuesday either.
To work around this problem make sure caching is enabled in your grabber and save these files to your cahce (change the file names to your local channel numbers which can be found in settings\uk_rt\channels.lua)
bbc1:
http://xmltv.radiotimes.com/xmltv/92.dat
bbc2:
http://xmltv.radiotimes.com/xmltv/105.dat
itv anglia:

Any ideas? Help please!

Sorry to bother you, how did to get xmltv to put the correct source channels in gbpvr eg 101 BBC1?

Thanks

Someone wrote a tool to update channel numbers - it may do the trick for you. *backup your database first
