FreeXMLTV 3.1 Error

mrgee · **29th March 2006, 08:38 PM**

I posted this a couple of days ago in Impacts forum..alas with no real solutuion..
Thought I'd give it another go here....

I have been using BRP and FreeXMLTV 3.1 faultlessly for some time...however now, when I run the update EPG batch file I get a windows error. This occurs at the create XML stage..
100..200 300 etc. A windows dialogue box appears saying FreeXML has a problem...
Any ideas about this..I have tried deleting the contents of the data dir...
batch file parameters-: SYD VERBOSE HD1
If you look at the error message below, the error occurs on processing data for the 1/4/2006, about the time we switch back from daylight saving..wonder if this is the problem...

error message included below...
Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidCastException: Conversion from string "4/1/20
06 1 12:20 am" to type 'Date' is not valid.

Its your region date setting - your default date format has changed.

Why? it wasnt the Daylight savings patch - as dates are working fine on my machines (and others) - something else has changed it...

Fix the default date and you should be fine....

Sorry..but I'm not sure what you mean by fix the default date.. Does that mean the computer date(I checked this and it is correct..)..or something else..?

Hi mrgee,

It's your regional settings that need to be changed - under Control Panel, choose Regional and Language Options, and set your location to Australia, and Standard and formats to English (Australia).
