Support Requests item #952555, was opened at 2004-05-12 08:53 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by lakesidebandit You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=424136&aid=952555&group_id=39046 Category: tv_grab_na_dd Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Robert Woodall (lakesidebandit) Assigned to: Robert Eden (rmeden) Summary: GPF using XMLTV.EXE tv_grab_na_dd on Win98 Initial Comment: I use windows 98SE had been able to use xmltv.exe to grab 5 days worth of programming using the tv_grab_na grabber. With the change to tv_grab_na_dd, i now receive a GPF error for xmltv.exe whenever i try to grab more than 1 day's programming. Are you aware of this issue or do you know of other users experiencing the same problem? Thanks for the help and the excellent program! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Robert Woodall (lakesidebandit) Date: 2004-05-15 21:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=967364 I'm still working on this and I noticed that I can grab 2 days of data without any problems. I'm gonna try and find the "sweetspot" where it causes a crash. I have noticed that the output xml file for a 2 day grab is twice as big as the file for a 5 day grab under the old tv_grab_na. I looked at the output and noticed that there's all kinds of stuff. Since I use the output to load onto WhatsOn for Palm, I don't need all of data about credits, actors, repeats, premieres, etc. Is there a way to alter the dtd file to limit only the data I need? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Robert Eden (rmeden) Date: 2004-05-14 11:29 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=270469 That's good.. it means you probably do have Perl installed somewhere and it's the same problem I had. I would try uninstalling via the control panel first. From a command prompt "perl -V" (capital V) may show you where it's installed.

I still can grab 1 day without any problems. I tried upping the count ot 2 days and it seemed to work but when I synched to my palm, day 1 data was scrambled. I will try tinkering more with this over the weekend and let you know my results. Thanks for the help!

Try deleting all temp pdk-* directories under temp.... can't hurt (one will be recreated when you run) It sounds like your problem is different than mine was. Can you try some of the other grabbers and see what happens? BTW... in the control panel, another Perl install may be called ActivePerl, but it sounds like it's not installed... What they heck... why not try going to http://www.activestate.com and install the latest activeperl and then try xmltv.exe I Don't think it will help, but frankly, I'm stumped. It sounds like your problem is different from mine.

I followed your advice and here's the status. first, i did a search for directory and files named perl. I found no directories but did find a file named "perl58.dll" in the temporary folder. I removed this file. I powered down the system and performed a cold reboot tried grabbing my program listings. I still experienced the GPF. So, I uninstalled xmltv using an uninstall utility, downloaded the xmltv-0.5.33-win32.zip file and reinstalled, did all of the setups I needed and tried a new grab. I'm still experiencing the same problem. However, this time I have been reading the detail on the GPF dialog box and it makes reference in each crash to the problems running the perl58.dll file. This perl58.dll file re- installs everytime I have deleted it. One other thing, I am using xmltv.exe in conjunction with WhatsOn for Palm.

When I did this it worked, and I was able to re-install the current version of Perl w/o any problem. I think what's happening is the Windows DLL caching mechnism is causing a conflict with the SOAP fetch.
