I don't have thousands of channels in my list, so can anyone with such a setup test it? You have to set the path where the channeldata will be stored in the addon-settings - then restart xbmc twice (first it will load the channel data from the webapi and store it onto the HDD. Channels should be loaded from HDD after that)

When you cycle through the bouquets do you get EPG data for all channels?

I don't have any ideas why EPG etc. is not working on windows - if someone else can look into it then this would be really great...

Could it be utf-8 conversion with the xml from the webif?

Don't think so - I checked whether the parsing results are correct with some additional debug output, it was fine...

I've checked and re-compiled the windows version (version 0.1.2).
XBMC from " http://xbmc.opdenkamp.eu/ " Eden-pvr - build 70 - git rev. a2ef033 (17 Mar 2012).
Now I have the following message in the log file:

22:01:01 T:9432 NOTICE: PVRManager - starting up
22:01:01 T:9900 ERROR: AddOnLog: VU+ Client: Vu::LoadChannelData error parsing channeldata!

Windows or Linux?

They seem to have the same problem here but solved it:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=65488&pid=536110#pid536110

Seems to be exactly the same error, since they do have it on windows but not on linux.

Can it be this problem?

Ok, new version up and working, importing for first time now. Importing seems much slower than normal, however that could be down to the fact that it'snow saving the EPG etc to the hard drive. What took a very long hang (5mins) followed by a very quick progress bar (<30seconds) to load channels has now taken 10 minutes and counting of purely importing channels (I can see sky 1, itv 1 etc etc slowly moving along). You mention setting the path where the channeldata will be stored in the addon, is this somewhere in a file? or in configuration because I see no new options in configure.

I'll let this play out and let you know how I get on
