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):
