Been happily running with EPG Collector for some months to gather my UK Freeview Satellite EPG.
Upgraded to 4.1 (via msi) + Fixpack 9 and ran a collection which seemed to be running okay until it hit the exit code 5.

"String was not recognized as a valid DateTime."
Provided log details below. Ran it a couple of times with same problem in same place and, unfortunately, have the same problem on my other Win7 (64bit) PC as well. That'll teach me!

My setup is Win7 64 bit collections for Windows MC

Sample of log provided below, but if the full monty's required then please let me know.
Any help will be appreciated.

Sample 1 (the setup):

15:43:06:209 Changing menu availability to False

Uninstalled both EPG4.1 (msi) & Fixpack 9.
Then re-installed just with EPG4.1 msi. i.e. No Fixpack 9.
Same error in same place.

Somebody else has reported the same problem.

Looks like there is a date arriving from TMDB (the internet lookup database for movies) that EPGC doesn't like.

Disable just movie lookups while I investigate and your collections should work.

You must be looking over my shoulder - done just that and it's gone all the way through.
I removed Film4 and Film+1 from my channel list .
Let me know when you've found a way forward.
Thanks

Fixpack 10 is on Sourceforge now.

It fixes this problem.
