finally got round to this. running update-xmltvids.py I get "channels.conf appears to be out of date"<br><br>This seems to be triggered by the test:<br><br>for line in channel_info:<br> if line == '# CHANNEL_ID|XMLTVID|NAME|ICON|WEBSITE':

channels.conf is <br><br># CHANNEL_ID|XMLTVID|NAME|ICON|WEBSITE|CHANNEL_NUMBER<br><br>These files were downloaded a few minutes ago.<br><br>I suspect channels.conf has in fact moved on.<br><br>What to do Hads?<br><br><div>

<br>They look like so;<br><br><a href="http://tv1.freeviewnz.tv">tv1.freeviewnz.tv</a><br><a href="http://tv1.sky.co.nz">tv1.sky.co.nz</a><br><br>This allows us to get around the duplicate problem. Unfortunately this means
<br>you need to update the database for the new XMLTVIDs. I put a script that I<br>used for myself and a few friends here;<br><br><a href="http://epg.pvr.geek.nz/epg/update-xmltvids.py">http://epg.pvr.geek.nz/epg/update-xmltvids.py
