Hi Heiko,
Is the epg display color coded, or are all the colors the same? What version of kodi are you running?

Sorry I made a mistake, the color coding also depends on what skin you are using.
To debug this I need the serverwmc log, but you need to generate it in a special way. Here are the steps:
1) start serverwmc
2) start a client and wait for the client to finish downloading the guide data
3) quit the client
4) quit serverwmc (since I need to have the debug info serverwmc prints when it is shutting down)
Then post the serverwmc log from this run on pastebin. One way to get this log is to go to:
%programdata%\VDsoftware\ServerWMC and list the newest log.

As you probably guessed, the problem is with the German language genre keywords, which is hard for me to debug since I only have access to English guide data. I would really like to solve this though, so I PM'd you a test build. If you have time, follow the instructions in the message and post the log when you have it. Thanks.

Hi Datalux,
Thanks for jumping in! Yes, the file 'GenreDict.xml' maps the common wmc genre names (English ones only, since that's all I can work with) to the genre codes kodi uses.
In the database wmc uses for a 'Program' entry, it typically specifies the genre using a list of Keyword objects, that's where the genre strings above come from. However, each program entry also has a long list of of booleans like IsMovie, IsSeries, IsThriller, IsComedy... - is that what you are referring to in your post? If so, that may be the problem.

The difference is dvblink is using datalux's strings, but Kodi is using its own genre string based on the codes you provide through the xml file you edited.

I think I have every information I need. I will implement an editor to generate the GenreDict.XML like I did with the DVBLink-Mapping.
Do I have to put the generated file somewhere into a directory of Kodi? Or is there some kind of pickup-service built in Kodi for that file?

Hey Lux,
I looked, but don't find anythings in registry.
So, that you must get the following path: %ProgramData%\VDsoftware\ServerWMC within file: GenreDict.xml
Attention: This file is only on the Master-MCE-Machine, so that you have change one file. :-)
