[Bug] Found a bug in ChannelIt which makes Bladerunner do not work with xmltv

[hansdieter]

Hi all!

I use BladerunnerPro 3.5 with xmltv (http://www.xmltv.org) in Germany because of the bad EPG which M$ provides.

So I installed BladerunnerPro and set it up. Everything within BladeRunner went fine, but when I want to reassign channels to listings in MCE there are no listings to select.

I found the reason why:

There is a Bug in ChannelIt.exe! Channelit do not put the correct channel-id from the xmltv.xml-File into ChannelInfo.xml! The channel-id seems to be always the same as the channel-name!

Here's an example of my channel-id and an example of the xmltv.xml-file from which channelit.exe has made the channelinfo.xml:

ChannelInfo.xml:

<channel>
<name>Eurosport</name>
<channelID>Eurosport</channelID>
<virtualchannel>7</virtualchannel>
</channel>

xmltv.xml:

<channel id="eurosport.de">
<display-name lang="de">Eurosport</display-name>
<icon src="http://www.tvtoday.de/tv/programm/bilder/senderlogos/eurosport.gif" />
</channel>

So after I've manually corrected the channel-id's in ChannelInfo.xml everything works fine now!

Thanks,
Michael

Great catch mate.. had me scratching my head for a couple of hours on this one.
Everything would go fine but when I check EPG in mce no listings available. This is definetly a bug with channelIt & xmltv.
