tvguide.co.uk missing title/subtitle from epg

Hi,

I was fighting with the EPG data for UK channels using tvguide.co.uk.ini on why only 6 out of 20 channels get imported in Mediaportal.

After searching for 3 day I figured out the xml file is missing the title/subtitle for those 14 channels (the bold marked below are the 6 channels working)

 

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="895" xmltv_id="CBBCHD">CBBC HD</channel>

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="145" xmltv_id="Film4">Film4</channel>

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="146" xmltv_id="Film4+1">Film4 +1</channel>

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="361" xmltv_id="More4">More4</channel>

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="429" xmltv_id="More4+1">More4 +1</channel>

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="172" xmltv_id="ITV">ITV London</channel>

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="697" xmltv_id="ITV+1">ITV London +1</channel>

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="376" xmltv_id="ITV2+1">ITV2 +1</channel>

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="360" xmltv_id="ITV3">ITV3</channel>

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="474" xmltv_id="ITV3+1">ITV3+1</channel>

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="367" xmltv_id="ITV4">ITV4</channel>

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="530" xmltv_id="ITV4+1">ITV4 + 1</channel>

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="121" xmltv_id="Channel4">Channel 4</channel>

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="428" xmltv_id="Channel4+1">Channel 4 + 1</channel>

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="148" xmltv_id="Channel5">Channel 5</channel>

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="729" xmltv_id="Channel5+1">Channel 5 +1</channel>

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="993" xmltv_id="TrueMovies1">True Movies 1</channel>

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="499" xmltv_id="TrueMovies2">True Movies 2</channel>

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="596" xmltv_id="FoodNetwork">Food Network</channel>

<channel update="i" site="tvguide.co.uk" site_id="595" xmltv_id="FoodNetwork+1">Food Network +1</channel>

 

A entry for the CBBC channel:

 

  <programme start="20170923080000" stop="20170923081000" channel="CBBCHD">
    <title lang="en">Arthur</title>
    <sub-title lang="en">The Play's the Thing</sub-title>
    <desc lang="en">With every child occupied with their electronics, the playground is very quiet, and the Tough Customers are not happy about it.</desc>
    <category lang="en">Cartoons</category>
    <category lang="en">Puppets</category>

    <star-rating system="GB">
      <value>7.4/10</value>
    </star-rating>
  </programme>

 

And an entry for the Film4 channel:

 

  <programme start="20170923120000" stop="20170923134000" channel="Film4">
    <desc lang="en">Tommy tries to return his new brother to the baby shop, helped by Angelica, Chuckie, Phil and Lil - but the friends get lost in dense woodlands en route, turning their expedition into a scary and exciting journey of discovery. Animated comedy based on the TV series, with the voices of Elizabeth Daily, Christine Cavanaugh, Kath Soucie, Whoopi Goldberg and Busta Rhymes.</desc>
    <date>1999</date>
    <category lang="en">Animated Movie</category>
    <category lang="en">Drama</category>
    <subtitles />
    <star-rating system="GB">
      <value>6.7/10</value>
    </star-rating>
  </programme>

 

As you can see, the Film4 entry does not have any <title> tag and the <subtitle> tag is empty.

 

Can someone look at this please? Or if there is a better alternative grabbing site, i could use that one instead.

 

Kind regards,

Eric
