XMLTV troubleshooting
An XMLTV programme exists with a blank title
Check the title element separately from station matching and timestamps.
Check the title element separately from station matching and timestamps.
Reproduce the condition
The XMLTV sample below is a small synthetic file. It carries no active media source or account data.
<tv>
<channel id="news.example"><display-name>Example News</display-name></channel>
<programme start="20250715180000 +0000" stop="20250715190000 +0000" channel="news.example"></programme>
</tv>What the local check found
| Expected signal | Observed signal |
|---|---|
| Programme title is missing | Programme title is missing |
What to do next
Find the original programme title in the schedule. Copy a correctly scoped title rather than substituting a generic station label.
What to share if the problem continues
- The exact parser result and version of the importer or player.
- A minimal redacted sample with dates, IDs or segment names retained as needed.
- The output after checking the source export separately from the viewer app.
