Hi Alan,

I have been successfully using DG2XML.exe for ages now, I have the skin installed on digiguide - happy days it works well.

I'd like to get a scheduled task sorted to pull the epg info from digiguide.

I have xmltv GUI 3.12 installed & digiguide grabber setup.

I can grab listings & outputs to c:\data.xml

however, when I try view the data.xml in XMLTV EPG viewer I get error:

"The file data.xml does not appear to be a Radio Times XMLTV file"

I know this is a error from XMLTV EPG viewer, but I can successfully view the .xml file I manually generated using DG2XML.exe (all works well with BSE)

Another thing i noticed was the file sizes.

the data.xml generated by xmltv GUI is 148MB
the epgdata.xml generated by Dg2XML.exe is 85MB

am i possibly doing something wrong in XMLTv GUI?

Thanks

Dave

The difference in size is probably due to formatting. Could you try zipping up the file and see if its small enough to post here.

here u go

I have found the problem and will try and fix it

sounds good, thanks!

Hopefully the following two files should fix the problem. I can't test it as I don't have a digiguide subscription at the moment.

I put "uk_digi.lua" into C:\Program Files (x86)\XMLTV GUI\scripts\uk_digi

i put "htmlentities.lua" into C:\Program Files (x86)\XMLTV GUI\lib

Digiduide / DG2XMl working as normal...

I'm assuming the .lua location is correct?

Thanks

could you save http://localhost:2402/skin-DG2XML/sid-C ... hi=0&noc=5 and send it to me

here u go

https://www.yousendit.com/download/K0JR ... NlJFQlE9PQ

those files are empty. If you go to "view source" from the browser does it show any data??

i've found the stupid mistake. try downloading https://www.birtles.org.uk/svn/xmltv/co ... tities.lua again
