Problem with EPG on TVHEADEND

  • HI all

    I have been running Libreelec with TVHEADEND for 2 months now without change anything. Suddenly I dont have any EPG data, using internal XMLTV. When I Re-run the internal EPG grabbers button I get the following in the debug window:

    2019-01-12 08:25:36.623 spawn: Executing "/storage/.kodi/addons/service.tvheadend42/bin/tv_grab_file"

    2019-01-12 08:25:37.147 xmltv: /storage/.kodi/addons/service.tvheadend42/bin/tv_grab_file: htsmsg_xml_deserialize error Expected ' or " before attribute value

    2019-01-12 08:25:37.147 xmltv: /storage/.kodi/addons/service.tvheadend42/bin/tv_grab_file: grab returned no data

    Whats wrong?

  • Something is wrong with your XML file. The syntax isn't correct. You need open the XML in notepad++ or any other that can verify.

    Some channel name or something hasn't been written correctly

  • no you don't. You cant possibly be using the same xml file that you were when you set it up. How else would you be getting updates. Perhaps post your xml file.

  • ok, here it is:

    </settings>

    Strange, it looks like it using an old XMLsite, se_guide.xml. When I configured XMLTV I told it to use channels-sweden.xml. And that link cannot be found. Could it be that?

    And I dont have anything at 192.168.178.201-204. Dont have that network.

  • That's because se_guide doesn't contain any epg data, it is just a bunch of channels.

    the file needs to be of this format for xmltv:
