Bladerunner New Zealand

I know this is a on going and much explained issue but I was wondering if anyone else has had issues when after editing the getlistings bat file, what I've found is if you accidently repeat any of the channel names you get an error (I believe 23) and if i add "tv3" instead of "xtra_tv3" the program crashes with a process id=0x6ac (1708) error, if i add "alttv" a whole host of errors are returned in Bladerunner including not being able to find multiple files.
Does anyone have a good working getlistings bat file that they could post?

I'm using BR pro 3.5 and the latest xmltvnz files

My current bat is:

j:
cd\windows\ehome\BladeRunnerPro
xmltvnz.exe xmltv.xml -days 1 tv1 tv2 sky_c4 prime sky_maori tri sky_juice trackside sky_discovery xtra_tv3
copy xmltv.xml j:\WINDOWS\ehome\BladeRunnerPro\GuideData
copy Channelinfo.xml j:\WINDOWS\ehome\BladeRunnerPro\QuickGuide
copy GenreShowList.xml j:\WINDOWS\ehome\BladeRunnerPro\GuideData
copy settings.xml j:\WINDOWS\ehome\BladeRunnerPro\GuideData
copy xmltv.dtd j:\WINDOWS\ehome\BladeRunnerPro\GuideData
cd..

This bat does not give me tv3 listings though.

I've tried some others, the worst of which just downloaded the info, then deleted it, then dowload it again, then deleted it and kept cycling like this for hours.

Here's mine (working fine in Vista and MCE2k5)
Code:
c:
cd \
cd windows
cd ehome
cd bladerunnerpro
cd guidedata
cd resources
del /F /Q *.soap
cd ..
xmltvnz.exe listing2.xml -seconds -days 7 tv1 tv2 sky_tv3 sky_c4 sky_maori sky_prime
@if not exist C:\ehome\bladerunnerpro\quickguide\channelinfo.xml copy ChannelInfo.xml C:\ehome\bladerunnerpro\quickguide\channelinfo.xml /y
cd ..
bladerunner.exe -t
Note that it clears the cache every night.
I think the problem is probably related to your Channelinfo.xml as well though.

Re: Bladerunner New Zealand

Like me you are probably using the tv3 source which apparently has changed and reven hasn't had time to update it yet

But the other guys above have been using sky_tv3 which apparently still works, so i tried swapping to this, the problem is that i can not get MCE to recognise that guide data and associate it with my FTA aerial channel three, so i can download the data but not actually do anything with it, TV1 and TV2 are still sweet tho.

So if you guys can tell us how to get the sky source to work with our aerial tv3 that would be awesome and would solve all the problems that the world now faces

Re: Bladerunner New Zealand

I think the issue is with your channelinfo.xml file.

Please post it so we can have a look.

Re: Bladerunner New Zealand

Hi

I should note that i am using BRP3.5 so I make a guide.xml rather than a listing2.xml.

It does, but it is the mapping from the TV channels back to the XMLTVNZ data, so it's important you get it right. I've had issues in the past and copying the channelinfo.xml back each time gives me the best reliability.

Re: Bladerunner New Zealand

I had a final play just after posting this morning and now have a stable bat file running, it seems to pick up and load into MCE pretty well, the only thing is that I need to purge the listings as when i changed from tv3 to sky_tv3 it only picked up listings for the 3rd day as it thought it already had listings for day 1 and 2, but I think I will just leave it alone, I don't want to mess it up again as I was up until 3am trying to work it out.

I was wondering if anyone else had the alttv issue? if you do try it I would strongly suggest backing up your files first, just adding this to my bat file totally screwed the whole bladerunner install, no idea why but it did, and not just once either, the mind boggles on why.
