what happened to the old school rules , where you had to post server , port , stb used and channel(s) that were down ... whats going on here ?
As I mentioned in a previous Post, the Providers guide is not formatted properly.
This is 1 program listing from Providers guide (Today).
*This is the Rules (or guidelines) from XMLTV.DTD*
Unless specified otherwise, textual element content may not contain
newlines - this is to make it easy to convert into line-oriented
formats, and to avoid the question of what exactly a newline would
mean in the middle of someone's name or whatever. Leading and
trailing whitespace in element content is not significant.
In the above example, there are 12 newline characters (<LF> - linefeed), within the <desc></desc> tags.
Also, just FYI, Credits, Actors, Categories etc., should all be within their own tags.
