I read your thread from beginning and found the solution. I went to Configuration->EPG/Channels. I found that that EPG Source options were empty initially. After couple of reboots (or perhaps just waiting 10-15 min), I saw EPG Source options were populated. I set a few channels to Zap2it. But the TV->Guide was still empty. After annother couple of boots (or waiting a few minutes, not sure which) the TV-Guide got populated.

Awesome, Awesome. I have now enabled extra details, also increased days to 7. No issues till now, I can see details in TV->Guide. I have still kept "faves only" enabled and I have about 30 channels as favorite on Zap2it site (so pulling data of 30 channels instead of 80+).

Thanks

If this is the first time you are trying to run this - try turning off the xtra details option for now. It seems there is some bad data in there, so let's make sure you can first get a standard grid loaded.

Would also help to know how many days you're trying to download, what lineup your using and how many channels.

Yes first time.

Here is channel line up (Chicago OTA broadcast). 7 Days. All (not just faves). Extra details enabled.

I will enable faves only, also reduce number of days (currently 7) to 5 and disable extra details and try.
[hr]
Here are two more observations.
- xmltv.xml got populated overnight (probably on second run). This was with: all channels (faves only disabled), 7 days, with extra details.
- I then enabled 'faves only', set to 5 days, disabled extra details. The xmltv.xml got updated successfully.

So the zap2it add on is working now. Probably it was bad data which threw python off track.

I then uninstalled the tvheadend4.2 (service) and deleted the userdata for tvheadend42. Re configured the tvheadend (service) 4.2. This time I disabled all OTA grabbers and kept zap2it enabled. The EPG grid in TV->Guide is empty even though xmltv.xml is populated. I am probably missing some setting. I will read rest of the posts here to find, but if you have quick tip help.

Awesome add-on by the way, in xmltv.xml, i can see the guide data, lot of good data pulled in by addon.
Thanks and appreciate your effort.

My xmltv.xml was generated but stopped in middle. All channels were printed, but only couple of lines of programs got printed.

I got this error in zap2xml.log
