UltraXMLTV Support...

[zehd]

I've attached a zip with the log, EPG xml files and various UltraXMLTV_Enhancer config files.

Using GBPVR config utility I set an EPG update to run at 2:00am. PC was active; not in suspend; although I've gotten this error when it wakes up from suspend as well. When the type mismatch dialog box was displayed I used task manager to kill the UltraXMLTV task and then zipped up the files.

Immediately after this I ran Update EPG from the system menu of PVRX2 and UltraXMLTV_Enhancer ran successfully.

You might want to try the latest version on the wiki. It shouldn't have anymore error popups that need to be clicked

I've been following the recent posts on the new versions of UltraXMLTV. Last night I ran the new version 116 and I am getting error dialog message boxes.

I have had two different failure modes. "Runtime error 13 type mismatch" and "runtime error 424 object required" both dialog boxes titled from UltraxmlTV_Enhancer.

The interesting part of this is the failures ONLY occur when my UpdateEPG.bat file is started automatically by PVRX2. If I run the bat file from the command line or from the Update EPG system menu item it always works without the error dialogs.

Also a small suggestion. Would be helpful if the log file contained the version number and build date of the executable and some entries about copying source xml file and processing complete.

That's a good idea to include version and file copying etc. I'll do that.

I have an idea, if it only hapens when GB-PVR calls the updateEPG.bat, maybe you have to set the recording service to 'interact with desktop'

[zehd]

1.2.121 should do the trick for you. I tested running the recording service with and without interacting with the desktop, and there was no difference, so that wasn't it...

I believe I have trapped the errors you had...

Hi, this is a cool program, thanks. It does things I would think eventually GBPVR should do, but it's great for now.
First off, had to install this (msinet.cab):
https://www.javacoolsoftware.com/sup...=11&nav=0,2,11
It wasn't mentioned in the wiki, and wasn't included with the vbrun60sp6, so it might be worth a mention.

Now, it seems to go smoothly, but the detection check doesn't appear by previously shown, even though there are <previously-shown /> tags in the xml file.
When I change the tag to <previously-shown></previously-shown> in the XML file, it detects it.
Any way you could add detection for open-and-close-in-one tags?

Let me guess... you're using your own grabber !!! All I need is a sample xmltv file from your grabber and I'll find something identifying , and then I can add the detection method...

[drlava]

Thanks. Yes you're right. When you know the inner workings it's hard not to use your own creation

I don't think its output is so different that you will need to detect the source and compensate, maybe just search for <previously-shown /> as well as <previously-shown></previously-shown>

Try version 123 from the wiki

It will detect your XMLTV and auto suggest 'Previously-Shown is null'

I'm checking for <previously-shown /> and <previously-shown/> (the latter has no space...

<previously-shown></previously-shown> is actually not permitted in the DTD

I've also added support to detecting Movies in your xmltv output...

Cool, it works, thanks

I am a new user and have just installed the new release. I signed up for Schedules Direct and designated this as my EPG source; however, I keep getting the (500) Internal Server Error when trying to update the EPG. This means that I cannot even tryout the GB-PVR program for recording. Can any one help with this problem?
