EPG edit/view utility

I've found the EPG editor (downloaded from this forum) to be a very useful utilty to check my guide.xml files. The majority of the time, it works great and displays the EPG. Occasionally, I find that some guides won't display. I have no clue as to why that is, but it's consistent. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the guide.xml file, it still works fine.

I realize this is basically unsupported software, but I was hoping that if I post my files, someone might be able to give me some insight as to why it doesn't work for some config.xml files. In the attached files, the guide.xml won't display in EPGEdit.

Gives me this:

************** Exception Text **************
System.Data.DuplicateNameException: A DataTable named 'star-rating' already belongs to this DataSet.
at System.Data.DataTableCollection.RegisterName(String name, String tbNamespace)

Thanks in advance!

Please no config with license data, someone else might use it and will not work for you.

Sorry. When I discovered there was an EPG Edit section of the forum, I thought I would just repost there.

If you are making a new version of WebGrab+, I have a suggestion for you. Would you please consider updating the documentation? Especially updating the links to web sites that no longer exist.

Thanks

Not yet it will take sometime. I do not have the source code so only Jan can look at the problem and now he is busy with wg++ 4.0
Once on a while send him a message, (same email in contact forum bar) so he remember....
