You are using it correctly. There is comething wrong with my program which is causing the error.

Ill look at it this week hopefully.

Oh hey Charley, I'm experiencing the exact same thing. I noticed it started happening near on a week ago, but since no one else posted anything here, I thought I'd troubleshoot a few things first before droppong a post so was glad to see someone has the same issue.

To me it seems to be only grabbing 12hrs of data, so I now run the grabber twice a day, morning and afternoon to at least keep the EPG full for evenings viewing. Hopefully the server the data comes down on doesnt ban my IP for excessive logins.

I noticed that if a tvnz channel was the last one viewed before importing the epg that more tv3 & c4 channels show up in the epg for the week. Still alot are missing though so had a look at the "epgdata.xml" file and to my surprise all the shows seem to be thier. Mayb the tool "freeviewNZ-EPG-GBPVR" needs an update?

I only run DVBViewer but notcied in your sig that run it and GB-PVR. Do you have the same issue in both? I only asked because if this has been happening for near a week I would have thought alot more people would have experienced the problem by now so am thinking it could be app related.

I just checked and GB-PVR shows all channels. I use importxmltv with DVBviewer and GB-PVR doesnt need importxmltv so mayb importxmltv isnt working properly with the "epgdata.xml" file?

I dont have my computer at the moment so I can't test anything.

But basically my understanding is: the xml contains all the programs, but they are not all being imported into dvbviewer?

Basically my program downloads the xml and extracts it. if the xml contains all the programs my program is working correctly.

Will have a play with it this weekend.

Mentalinc, were you able to look at this? I still havent been able to workout whats going on here. Its certainly looks like importxmltv is the culprit but where the issue is has got me stumped. I wonder if the egp source format has changed recently causing issues.

Failing that, does anybody have a recommendation on a importxmltv replacement I could try?

xmltvnz @ reven.co.nz. I never could get Mentalinx downloader to work for me but now I use Revens on both Mediaportal and Dvbviewer with no issues.

Cheers
