I ask because PTVL is hanging at your xmltv file... it's not even opening it!! You need to delete your PTVL setting.xml and reconfigure PTVL and you need to triple check your xmltv file...

I am totally stumped, I deleted the setting.xml file and reconfigured a new one. The xmltv file is in the folder I have in the settings but yet it still won't recognize it. I even tried renaming it to xtv and updated the settings2.xml file with the new "xtv" name but it still doesn't work. The xml file all looks correct. Here is another log file with the rename of xtv -> https://www.dropbox.com/s/jj2ois2acip3tfs/xbmcv1.log
Here is the xml file -> https://www.dropbox.com/s/3dr9rmuo65pav0u/xtv.xml

Oddly when I used that prior version you provided a few days back nothing was different from what I have now and that version worked.

This sounds similar to what I just ran into.. my xmltv.xml was encoding was not set right.. or at least setting it to what is required and saving over the one generated by MC2XML fixed my issue. Not 100% on this.

I'm probably moving back to the old reliable version 0.1.0 from god knows when, there are way too many bugs in the latest builds. I'm trying on a laptop before I integrate and the latest EPGWindow.py change makes PTVL error on launch. I've tried wiping the entire directory and going from scratch, nope. Whatever was done inside that in the last 16-17 hours (per the repo log) borked the whole thing.

Wish I had more time, I could probably help to polish up the latest features a bit but sadly i'm quite busy lately.

Also -- Whatever I'm running that's "newer ie 0.1.9" on my system as of few days ago from the repo I guess is not current anymore. That build is the one that has the EPG sync and live tv selection issues.

@ MovieJunky it's not possible outside of PTVL's channel manager (which already has a channel reset by days pasted feature). Search the thread this question has been asked before!

I'll check the difference, maybe I removed something I forgot about..

I'm comparing my changes now... only differences I see is the settings name was changed, but you said you re entered your settings so that should be it...

what are you using for settings2's _3 switch? it should be the name of your xmltv file without the extension...

I also have to say as of now you are the only one reporting this problem... if more users report the same problem I will investigate further.

Here is the Channel settings, _3 value is "xmltv"
<setting id="Channel_20_type" value="8" />
<setting id="Channel_20_1" value="I2.1.16689.tmsdatadirect.com" />
<setting id="Channel_20_2" value="hdhomerun://103AC965-0/tuner0?channel=8vsb:587000000&program=1" />
<setting id="Channel_20_3" value="xmltv" />
<setting id="Channel_20_rulecount" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_20_changed" value="False" />
<setting id="Channel_20_time" value="77" />
<setting id="Channel_20_rule_1_id" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_20_rule_1_opt_1" value="2-1 CBS Live" />

What's your Settings.xml look like? Mine for some reason had 2 XMLTV entries, I think from upgrading. I assume it's not case sensitive, but I don't know what would happen if they conflict. Double check that. That was also what I cleaned up to get one of my newer working.. might be a good idea to bump minor revs each time a file changes, would make life a lot easier. since I have at least 2 zipped versions of 0.1.9 floating around confirmed by performing a diff.

Here's my settings.xml file, only seeing the one entry -> http://pastebin.com/0MhjkarJ
Whenever a new master was release I would delete the settings.xml & settings2.xml files and the entire Cache folder. I am also using an xmltv.xml file generated by MC2XML. That too looks correct to me. Thanks!
