[vdr] Problems with XMLTV2VDR and EPG data

[Brian_Dorling@t-online.de (Brian Dorling)]

Hi,
I get my EPG data for BBC channels via BLEB.ORG and send it to VDR with 
XMLTV2VDR version 1.0.5. This works pretty well, except for one thing, one 
of the channels (BBC 4) never gets any EPG Data in VDR. The other three work OK.


My channels.conf looks like this (plus others):

BBC 1 London:10773:h:S28.2E:22000:2304:2306:2305:0:6301:0:0:0
BBC 2 England:10773:h:S28.2E:22000:2319:2321:2320:0:6302:0:0:0
BBC THREE:10773:h:S28.2E:22000:2323:2325:2324:0:6319:0:0:0
BBC FOUR:10773:h:S28.2E:22000:2331:2333:2332:0:6316:0:0:0
BBC 1 NE & C:10817:v:S28.2E:22000:2327:2328:2329:0:10355:0:0:0


Channels.conf for XMLTV2VDR looks like this (the strange wrapping comes from 
Mozilla):

BBC 1 
London:10773:h:S28.2E:22000:2304:2306:2305:0:6301:0:0:0:south.bbc1.bbc.co.uk
BBC 2 
England:10773:h:S28.2E:22000:2319:2321:2320:0:6302:0:0:0:south.bbc2.bbc.co.uk
BBC THREE:10773:h:S28.2E:22000:2323:2325:2324:0:6319:0:0:0:bbc3.bbc.co.uk
BBC FOUR:10773:h:S28.2E:22000:2331:2333:2332:0:6316:0:0:0:bbc4.bbc.co.uk


The XML data from Bleb looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE tv SYSTEM "xmltv.dtd">

Now if I put some strategic printfs in the XMLTV2VDR script I get the
following output. This is the data sent via SVDRPSEND to VDR:

e
E 5390 1081650900 -99300 0
T Sex, Warts and All Down Under
D Australia is a land of pleasure seekers and this week the series looks at 
how far they'll go for sexual hedonism. We pay a visit to a BDSM brothel 
where we meet an Irish-dancing gimp, look at some unusual fetishes, and 
define sex addiction. All this plus more safe sex advice.

T Conquest!
D On the 14th October 1066, William the Conqueror triumphed at the Battle of 
Hastings - an event so significant, it completely changed the course of 
English history. What makes this event so important to the English is the 
immutable fact that it was the last time any foreign power was to conquer her.

T The Genius of Mozart
D In the last episode of the documentary drama series, Charles Hazlewood 
explores the final turbulent years of Mozart's life, recounted through the 
recollections of his loving wife Constanze and their friends.

E 61890 1081108800 1800 0
T The DVD Collection
D Stuart Maconie presents the weekly guide to the best new DVDs.

So, it looks like everything is OK. Or at least the data is being setup 
correctly by XMLTV2VDR, but it just does not appear in the EPGDATA. There
is only the following in there:

C S28.2E-0-10773-6316 BBC FOUR
c
C S28.2E-0-10773-6302 BBC 2 England
E 61670 1081095600 9600 0
T The Alamo
D In 1836 the men of Texas are determined to win independence from Mexico. 
But General Sam Houston needs time to train an army to meet the elite forces 
commanded by General Santa Anna. A small garrison led by William Travis is 
to delay the Mexicans, aided by Davy Crockett's rough-riders from Tennessee 
and men led by the wayward Jim Bowie. But Travis and Bowie are at 
loggerheads, and Crockett has his own ideas about justice. Directed by John 
Wayne.

Can anyone give me a tip on how to debug this further please?
There are no error messages in the VDR log.
