ever since last night, my program reset, collectons reset, etc. And now I'm having this issue where I cannot get past this like I normally can. I don't understand why either.
#Tuner not allowing xmltv.xml to work with plex
surreal nest
I dont think my logs gonna help here, but I'll hand it over anyway
as far as I know any of my collections are screwd up due to my plex unlinking, and me trying to refresh my media entirely. But still, I have a channel that should have valid data on the mp4's I have, Otherwise I really dont know
I'm super baffled, I even tried undoing all my coding (ETV_ALLOWED_SHARED_PLEX_SERVERS) Thinking it was that, but apparently it wasnt that either!
I doubt this is my issue either
considering when I preview streams, they still work
went on over to the retail version of Ersatz, still the same issue. I don't understand what's going on...
surreal nest
not even using my own IP Works.

why did this happen
ever since last night, my program reset, collectons reset, etc
surreal nest
I removed a library that contained other videos
Etc, my commercials, bumpers and everything I had in that folder
And then the program ended up not responding, giving the usual “refresh the page” response which I ended up doing which led me to where I am now

ETV_ALLOWED_SHARED_PLEX_SERVERS
this allows etv to sync from plex servers that you do not own, it doesn't relate to using plex as a client
ok, i see the xmltv error. there's an invalid character somewhere that it doesn't like
2024-08-18 17:46:28.827 -04:00 [ERR] HTTP GET /iptv/xmltv.xml responded 500 in 23.5642 ms
System.ArgumentException: '.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character.
can you dm me your ersatztv.sqlite3 file from the config folder? C:\Users\BadLy\AppData\Local\ersatztv\ersatztv.sqlite3 i'll try to reproduce the error here. will be easier than going back and forth about where the bad data may be
surreal nest
will do
wary coral
hmm. can't seem to repro that way. when you get a chance, can you zip up the entire folder C:\Users\BadLy\AppData\Local\ersatztv\cache\channel-guide and dm it? it has a bunch of xml files that are used to build the xmltv, and the error indicates something wrong in those files
surreal nest
got it
wary coral
i can definitely repro that. a number of those files are filled with zeros, which is very strange. i would exit etv using the tray icon, and just delete that channel-guide folder before starting etv again. all of the data will be recreated as the playouts build/get reset.
surreal nest
Well, considering my playouts are kinda out of order at the moment, it'd only really be my channel for wrestling ppvs but I can try to do that
thats..
that worked?
oh, yeah it worked
how'd that even happen?
wary coral
cool. i've never seen that before, and i'm not really sure what would have caused it, but glad it's working again.
the files were literally filled with bytes that all have the value zero
instead of, program data. did you customize the xmltv templates at all?
surreal nest
Nope, just had them left alone
didnt evne know you could do that
even*
I'm assuming that if this ever happens again, do what we just did?
wary coral
yeah, if it happens again i would like to know so i can take a closer look at what might cause it, but it would have the same fix to unblock
surreal nest
Went back to the development build as well, seems like its gone
I'll report back here or start a new thread if it ever happens again
