EPG Error

[eric859]

Got an error with standard install, so I replaced the .pl with the latest updated xmltv_parser.pl that fixed the unicode issue. Using both http link to xml as well as downloaded xml from same link I still get the following error:

2017-06-24 15:17:46,298 (b14) :  CRITICAL (core:574) - Exception in thread named 'GuideReloader' (most recent call last):

Is a 2.2MB file too big for Plex?

I don't think so

[eric859]

Then I'm at a loss. The xml file header says UTF-8. It works with all the other software I've been testing with. Just not this one.

I'll check my epg size and let you know what it is , if it's bigger maybe you can try mine to confirm

[eric859]

Thanks! Let me know. I've attached mine in case you would be able to test it. If not, no problem.

Hi All!
Still have the issue on 2.1.6
Using xmltv epg from here http://programtv.ru/xmltv.xml.gz

@yurra2, Your issue is fixed by @tylerrichey (0bc3e16), latest version 2.1.6 is available in releases section.

However I see Your program guide is quite big, when I try to manually load it in Plex Web client it says that the server is not responding because it takes more time for server to load the xml than client is willing to wait. But server loads the whole xml without issues disregarding the error the client shows. For now I do not have a solution for that client side error message... Maybe I will move manual loading to the background where automatic loading is running now, someday in the future...
