XMLTV not recognising kazer.org settings

[seuretl]

Hi everyone,
I configured Under Sources - EPG sources the XMLTV service from KaZer.org XmlTv.
Although it keeps saying "unconfigured", I have entered these settings:
Directory for XMLtv files: /var/packages/DVBLinkServer/target/share/xmltv
Refresh (hours): 12
xmltv grabber info:
url: http://kazer.org/tvguide.xml?u=uytfdbz2rcx0z
type: xml
The xml file downloads perfectly in a browser windows (apparently too large to attach here), but no chance to see the EPG source listed Under Channels - EPG sources. I only see TVSource-1, which is the EPG provided by the tuner.
I'm on CableCom Switzerland, their EPG is extremely limited (only 2 days, apparently known problem at CableCom... no solution)

I already tried to delete and configure again the XMLTV service, no change.

Any ideas ?
Thank you all for your help !

Can you upload zipped *.xml file here? Because your link is non-operational.
Most probably it has incorrect structure or so.

Hi the_man,
I try again... perhaps .tar.gz
.xml is 3 Mb big, zipped 504Kb. For both versions, I get a "Too big" error: 2.5 Mb for xml, 256Kb for zip.
using 7zip, I don't know how ot make it smaller.
I'll try to take less channels for the xml.

Please upload the original file that you get from this url to a filesharing site - like rapidshare - and post the download link here.

Second try with less channels. Seems that the xml download from the website doesnt'work well. currently chatting with KaZeR on his site.
Oh... xml not allowed...
Take another chance... seems to be OK with zip.

apparently, there was a limitation on the downloads, which is temporary away. I tried again to download, perhaps you can try it. By the way, where can I see if the download was successful ? which log and where ?

Hi again,
Finally, I got it working.
I suspect a bug or misunderstanding:
In sources - EPG sources, I edit the sources.
I added to my configuration a second url: http://kazer.org/tvguide.xml?u=uytfdbz2rcx0z
with type "autodetect". Save. Wait a bit.
And boom !
Channels - EPG sources now shows under available sources my new kazer.org xmltv, with content !

Two possibilities: either it needs 2 URL (why?) or it handles only "autodetect".

That was my 2 cent to the story. One more xmltv provider.

Can someone confim this ?
Thanks !

Was too nice to be true and time-resistant...
It doesn't work at all, even if the xml is correct.
The EPG source says it is correct, shows correctly the sources, but the EPG itself shows nothing.

Attached today's xml file, just a bit truncated to fit in the very small 256kb file size limit.

This would be very good to work, since inline EPG from Cablecom has only about 48h... even on their own devices...

Hi all,

Just in case, after trying some sites, this one works great and include all RTS channels
http://xmltv.dtdns.net/download/

I advise to make your personal program for 9 days (http://xmltv.dtdns.net/alacarte/) and access it with your personal zip link.
On my DS214j, the complete zip package for 12 days was makes it crash !

Update: Kazer.org is now working with https, certificate not recognized.
