Just got new computer with Windows 7. After reinstalling XMLTV GUI and putting in my user name and password in the NA_SD grabber settings, I keep getting the following ...

======================
6:32:24 PM - Starting pass 1 of grabber NA_SD
6:32:24 PM - Error downloading "http://webservices.schedulesdirect.tmsd ... tvdService" : Unsupported hash algorithm. This implementation supports only MD5 encoding.
6:32:24 PM - Schedules Direct Authentication error, check your password in the grabber settings
======================

I did download the latest version ... 3.13
After encountering another problem, I found the "download htmlentities.lua" solution

But now I'm stuck. I've gone to the schedules direct web site & used the same username/password to log in with out any problems?

Any suggestions?

its actually a change to the schedules direct service which has exposed a bug in the http library that i am using. Try https://www.birtles.org.uk/svn/xmltv/co ... ltvGUI.exe

Installed the new executable into my XMLTVGUI directory. Things did change, but didn't succeed. Here's the new log msgs:

have you entered a username and password in the settings (I get the same message here by entering an incorrect password)? Are they correct? also try deleting the cache directory.

Clearing the cache changed things. I was able to refresh the channels & attempt a listing grab. Here's the log ...

At first, I didn't think it worked. Then noticed the " 4806 programs found". At the bottom of the XMLTV GUI dialog panel, also noticed that 984,289 Downloaded.

Went and looked at the XML file & sure enough, not only was it there, but it was for the movies in the upcoming weeks.

So my problem is fixed and I appreciate your help.

PS: despite the message that " Schedules Direct Authentication error" above, my user id and password are correct ... triple verified at their website.
