Hi, looks like this started January 15 as I just ran out of guide and came to check what happend.

What version of EPG123 are you running, and what is your lineup? I can try to recreate here, but I suspect you have a corrupted cache file. In the configuration GUI, you can click the [Clear Cache] button and then a [Save & Execute]. See if that clears the fault.

Maybe reinstall clean?

Try and delete S:\EPG\output\mmuiplus.json and try again. If it still doesn't work, then I need to know your lineup in order to try and recreate the problem. This is only happening during the build of the XMLTV file, so it should be limited to a cached file or the mmuiplus.json file.

That's great, and I apologize. I meant to add the json file into the cache clearing routine on last release but forgot... would have saved some time if it was already in there.
