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)

A entry for the CBBC channel:

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">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
