FreeXMLTV VERBOSE Exception

[masb]

I have been using FreeXMLTV by Impact for some time now and it has been working great. A few days ago it started failing with an "unhandled exception"; I am using the Sydney region. I upgraded to V2.0 and this still had the same problem. If I remove the "VERBOSE" option then it works fine so I suspect there is something in the data that FreeXMLTV doesn't like.

Has anyone else seen this and is there a work around (other than turning off the verbose info)?

The full exception error I get is:

 
Unhandled Exception: System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.

Sounds like you may have corrupt data in the detailed cached web pages...

From other posts - try this...

Delete the data directory - and start fresh...

If you still have the problem - check your date settings to ensure they have not changed format to something else like american or whatever.....

You were right... I deleted the Data directory and it is now working fine.

Thanks for your help and for providing a great app.

I hate to sound stupid but which data directory am I deleting? Can you give me a path.

Many Thanks

[masb]

It is a directory called "Data" which is a sub-directory of the one containing FreeXMLTV.exe. Obvious, when you know the answer

Derrrrr! Found it I was looking for the Data folder in the BladeRunner Pro directory not the FreeXMLTV one.

Guys I have said it before and I will say it again. The help you offer is fantastic and the fact that some of you have spent the time to write programmes to allow the rest of us to get Tivo and earn heaps of cool points from wife, kids and friends for free shows the good side of human nature. Much Kudos, Respect and Life points to all of you and may you enter the wheel on an higher plane in your next incarnation etc.

Now that I have done a big grovel it is time to call on that altruistic nature in all of you again. The problem with things like the EPG is once you have it you cannot imagine life without it, no more ads, watching what you want when you want, never missing a show and best of all watching shows you would never normally watch because of time and the problem of videoing. I watched a great show on Punk Era the other day that took me back.

To the point.

My BladeRunnerPro V3 and FreeXMLTV have stopped working properly together. And below is the error note, which appears to be the same as the one in this thread I have tried deleting the Data Folder in the FreeXMLTV Directory. I have rerun FreeXMLTV from the Command Prompt again and it runs fine and picks up all the programs and converts them into the XML file. But when I run Bladerunner it runs through the days but as soon as it comes up with the programmes it gives the error message again.

Any help will be gratefully received.

Sorry for breaking forum etiquette. I will be more restrained in future. I am glad you can see my pain. Even my wife is wondering around looking a bit lost without the magic of Tivo. I actually had to watch live TV last night.
