Notes

Huge xmltv files will take forever and may run out of memory.
Try using WebGrab++ to make smaller xmltv files.
I recommend using Super Favourites to organise your favourite channels.
Force ini file reload in the Settings if you change addons.ini or myaddons.ini.
xmltv file should reload on a file modification difference. It can be forced too.

Thanks for finding a bug. Smile

It looks like the code is not handling channel names with unicode characters in them properly. Could you post the part of your xmltv file with unicode channel name and I'll see if I can fix it. Something like this I expect:

Code:
<channel id="BBC1">

<display-name lang="en">BBC Onë</display-name>

Yes please. These channels are just ascii. Unicode is a bit tricky in Kodi and python. There are lots of conversions including url escape sequences.

I just reread your post, I think you wanted this part:

Yep thanks thats the tricky one: É.

Just a warning though. 300 channels is probably going to be painful on most systems. I need to do a lot of optimisation for that much data.

I currently have it working smoothly on an addon I've been working on, tried send you a PM.. won't let me?

There is a minimum number of posts before a PM.

Makes sense!

You need 5 more posts. Want to play post ping pong?

Haha!

Sure, why not!

Unicode channel ids is going to take a while to sort out as I use them for file names internally.
