FreeXML.TV 3.1 ERROR

mrgee · **8th March 2006, 03:15 PM**

As far as I know I have completed all installation tasks (bladerunnerpro installed), but get this error from freexml 3.1 when running the batch file

EventType : clr20r3 P1 : freexmltv.exe P2 : 1.5.2239.38767
P3 : 43f5d32f P4 : microsoft.visualbasic P5 : 8.0.0.0 P6 : 4333d6d8
P7 : 35e P8 : 36 P9 : system.invalidcastexception

Batch file listed below
FreeXMLTV region=SYD VERBOSE HD1 CHANNELINFO
C:\WINDOWS\ehome\BladeRunnerPro\GuideData\Listing2 .xml

In addition I have also tried deleting the contents of the data dir...
The error seems to occur when freexml tries to write the xml file..

Solved this problem by downloading freexmltv 3.1 again from the download section..
This solved my problem above, however now when I try to add guide listings to channels.the only option is show no listings...
Any ideas?

I am getting the same problem - I'm afraid!! The apps are great, esp. BRP... but WAF is falling fast at the moment!

Any ideas would be appreciated!
Cheers!

I am getting the same message though my guide has been working up until the last few days. The error message that I get in Freexmltv says. Systeminvalidcastexception Conversion from string "4/8/2006 12:00am" to type 'Date3' is not valid. Any ideas how to fix this problem?

Your region setting is wrong... probably set to English(US) - the current versions of freexmltv require it set to English(Australia)... Control Panel, set your region properly and try again.

Thanks Impact, spot on. I had changed my region so I could pick up more options in Spotlight within MCE as you do not get many when set to Australia. I will need to explore another option with Spotlight now. Did not realise the imapct changing the language setting had on FREEXMLTV.

Thanks again for such a quick reply I am a happy lad again with my guide. Some Reputation points for you from me.

A new version next week will fix the date thingo - it was not known about when it first started.... my region was set to aus - but occassionally I change it to look at the spotlight too ! Fixed soon....
