XMLTV troubleshooting
A numeric offset in the TV guide will not parse
The hour and minute fields of a numeric offset must form a valid offset.
The hour and minute fields of a numeric offset must form a valid offset.
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 +2560" stop="20250715190000 +0000" channel="news.example"><title>Evening test</title></programme>
</tv>What the local check found
| Expected signal | Observed signal |
|---|---|
| Start needs a full valid date and numeric offset for this check | Start needs a full valid date and numeric offset for this check |
What to do next
Check the actual IANA location and date. Generate the offset from that location instead of typing a guessed numeric value.
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.
