bug: seek for a non standard header in EPG xml files

[t2pierre]

error parsing xmltv file when is not in first line (which is not standard now

error : AddOnLog: pvr.iptvsimple: pvr.iptvsimple - LoadEPG - Unable parse EPG XML: Start-end tags mismatch, offset: 0:

[phunkyfish]

Huh?

If the XML file is not valid there is no way to parse it? This error is from the parser.

Can you provide the XML file? There is most definitely a standard for XML files.

[t2pierre]

Hello Here is the xmltv file. There are other EPG sources available on internet providing such files The parser is rejecting it. If you add up <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> as the first line in the file, the parser works well Best regards PCH

Ok, but those files are broken. I’m sorry but I don’t see this as a bug.

[t2pierre]

Why do you say it is broken?It works perfectly in Plex or other iOS iptv app. PchLe 24 sept. 2024 à 21:23, phunkyfish ***@***.***> a écrit : Ok, but those files are broken.

Because they are invalid files. I didn’t see an XML file attached to the issue, so I can’t look at it myself.

[t2pierre]

I send it again as attachment, gzip in case oft was too big

You might need to upload the file, it’s might not work via email response.

[t2pierre]

es.xml.gz

es.xml.gz

This xmltv file is valid and contains the leading <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> tag. So I don't see what the problem is. Or did you add the tag to the file?

[t2pierre]

Yes I did. EPG provider send it without the first Line. PchLe 25 sept. 2024 à 19:01, phunkyfish ***@***.***> a écrit : es.xml.gz This xmltv file is valid and contains the leading <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> tag.

Is the file generated by an addon?

can you send me the file without any modifications?

[t2pierre]

epg-34-7.xml.zip

this file is generated by Xteve (IPTV plugin). working fine in Plex or Emby.

[phunkyfish]

Thanks for the file, it helped with testing. This had nothing to do with the parser at all. It would in fact accept a file without the leading xml tag.

There was a check for tarred archives prior to parsing that looks for the xml tag. I've now changed this to the xml tag or starting wit < and ending with >.

After this update I get no epg at all. Before launching Kodi I deleted Epg19.db to be sure to start fresh and these are the logs for 22.2.0 (working) and 22.2.1 (no EPG at all):

kodi_22.2.0.log

kodi_22.2.1.log

This happens with the external epg I used for this test (https://www.tdtchannels.com/epg/TV.xml) and my own customized xml.

From the 22.2.1 log:

ok, I’ll test using that xml file later on. Do you have some sample M3U entries I can use to test it works correctly? The URLs can be obfuscated, I don’t need anything to play, just load in the UI.

[Uukrull]

This is what I'm using for the test:

#EXTM3U

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="24Horas.TV" tvg-logo="https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1144547866393882626/2R0Khn5n_200x200.png" group-title="Informativos" tvg-name="24h",24h
https://ztnr.rtve.es/ztnr/1694255.m3u8

[phunkyfish]

@Uukrull

Your test M3U and XML file work for me on a mac. The previously supplied XML file from @t2pierre also worked for me.

Let me create you a testbuild with some logging for you to run and post the debug log.

[phunkyfish]

Oh, I think I found the problem. Can try this testbuild?

Great, I've released that now.
