I use tvdigital.de.ini revision 10.
With the new revision it takes hours until the grabbing is finished. You say that there is no way to change the speed, but something has definitely changed. I now also have these errors from time to time.

I have tried many German ini in the meantime. The selection of those that work is getting smaller and smaller.
Can I improve this in any way?
Well i see you grabbing 13 days and of course it will take time. What you can do is reduce the number of days, if you still want 2 weeks the best thing to do is set update <update>i</update> this will be faster. For the errors that is a site problem, some show do not pop up, like channel one the show at 20.30 Eurovision song festival shows a blank pop up. For me time doesn't seem bad even with update force.
Hre the difference between update f (force) and i (incremental)

Thanks for the information, I have set <update>i</update>. The next problem I have is that with the revision of Siteini some special characters are not grabbed correctly.
<programme start="20250529151500 +0200" stop="20250529164500 +0200" channel="Das Erste">
<title lang="de">Wenn&#039;s um Liebe geht</title>
<programme start="20250531095500 +0200" stop="20250531104000 +0200" channel="Das Erste">
<title lang="de">Elefant, Tiger &amp; Co.</title>
In xmltv is with special character in this case, once you import it in any player will be translated in
Wenn's um Liebe geht
Elefant, Tiger & Co.
So once you import it in the player will be fine
In Tvheadend it is correct as you say. In Kodi it is not correct again. That was not a problem before. I have not changed the Kodi version either. Do you have any ideas?
The only thing that comes to my mind is either a font issue or language, do you have problem just with some characters or language. with google they say to check System > Video > Subtitles > Character Set
I leave you the link as it may help https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=217692 Although is pretty old.
I can change the character set, but that doesn't help. I have also updated Kodi, but unfortunately the problem remains. I'll keep looking, thanks for the tip.
