G'morning. In the meantime, I started wondering if it was my USB deployment that was getting in the way. tl;dr = it wasn't. I put a fresh set of files from the SourceForge zip into a fresh folder on my C: drive, manually created the .xmltv folder, ran the configure (no issues), and then tried the grab. Same error as before from the USB run. And this morning ... Same error, even on 1 day of listings. For grins, I re-did the configure, using the same share and config-path options I'd set before. It fetched the new channels I'd selected for my line-up without blinking. Run the grab again for 1 day? Same error. Is there sanity in imagining that this might be a firewall issue? No, not really. As you noted, the grab of the channel data in -- configure worked fine. So it's getting out and back. No reason the listings call shouldn't receive the same courtesy. So now there's STILL something else different between my home machine and my work machine, and now the difference is nigh-invisible. I'm stumped. And depressed. All the rest of my post-processing scripts are ready to make "personal TV Guides" for my wife and I, finding our favorite shows, actors, or just plain words. But they're no good without the data. Well, no good from home. I can put it all back on the USB stick and do it at work. Unless we get a better idea. Alas. Still, could be worse. Could be raining. Thanks, anyway, for the feedback so far! Much appreciated, and I do look forward to using XMLTV more ... just not quite the way I'd hoped. :-D Bob P.
