PCDATA invalid Char value

[foggybrain]

I am using me-tv 1.4.0.12 on an up to date arch64 system with kde4

Me-tv is blank showing "unhandled execption" on the bottom bar

when I run me-tv-client from konsole I repeatatively receive this line

Entity: line 1: parser error : PCDATA invalid Char value 16
400" duration="3600" title="American Hot Rod" subtitle="'59 Chevy Low Rider

Can you help please

Thanks

After deleteing ~/.local/share/me-tv/ and waiting for program to pass (American Hot Rod), things seem to be ok again.

Maybe this is a one off or maybe there are certain characters the parser can't handle, I'll leave that to the technical ones to decide.

BTW, I'm using en_GB.UTF-8

Same error has occured again today. Me-tv is now unusable until this program passes.

Entity: line 1: parser error : PCDATA invalid Char value 16
400" duration="3600" title="American Hot Rod" subtitle="'59 Chevy Low Rider

repeating !

Looked up the full program details from http://www.freeview.co.uk/TV-Guide if it helps

... and so on forever (to cancel me-tv-client)

It depends on actual program list. If I exclude HBO from chennel list, things seem to be ok again. If the conflicting program is in future I can shorten progra list to one hour and things seem to be ok again. If the conflicting program passt, things seem to be ok again.
This bug is in me-tv for very long time till actual version 1.4.0.12

It does look like a bug in the parser of the televsision programm. Most likely some character that is not included in
server/dvb_si.cc

[foggybrain (timsonghurst-gmail)]

Still getting the same bug because of illegal characters some stations are using in program descriptions.
I'm using Manjaro Linux KDE 64 and I built me-tv 1.4.0.58 from the arch linux aur me-tv-bzr build now.

Last error was

Entity: line 1: parser error : invalid character in attribute value
Body Of Evidence" subtitle="The Tamiami Trail: A string of murders along Florida
                                                                               ^
The only thing that allows me-tv to get past the "Unhandled exception" is to find the channel and delete it. In this case it was Channel :- TruTV.

On another occasion it seemed to be the character "|" that caused the lock up

Getting this error tonight from BBC Radio 2. Seems the appostrophy is causing the error.
