I can't give you a solution, but I am having the exact same issue.

I don't think it's a config.xml issue, because the TV Guide just looks in the XBMP home directory for the list.xml file.

Also before anyone asks. Yes there is show data in the list.xml file.

btw is there a way to set the number of days to download the guide.

you can use the --day <number of days> flag

example for 2 days worth of US listings

CODE

xmltv tv_grab_na --day 2 > listing.xml

Just to add onto this thread: I was wondering what the biggest sized listing.xml file anybody has gotten xmbp to parse. Trying to figure out how many channels/days I can add before the xbmp crashes trying to parse the listing.xml.

If you start up the tvguide from xbmp, and you do see the channels listed but you don't see any show information, then it's most likely because you never set the date on your xbox, or you unplugged it after setting the date so it got reset.

Look at the date in the upper left corner, and compare it to the dates of the listing you downloaded. If they don't match up, you won't see any shows because you're on the wrong day. You can set your date/time from the MS Dash.

As far as the maximum size of the listing file, you definitely want it below 4 meg I think, below 3 meg is pretty safe.

Currently it's being developed to allow the listing file to be arbitrarily large, but this will come in a later release.

i was going to saiy the same thing as mshade and he is right the most common problem with that is
1. the app. hangs because your listing is 7 days and 5mb (try 3 or 4 days mine works with 4 days )
2. your xbox is out of date/time causing you only see the channels and not the programs because you dont have any data of the date your xbox is

it hangs for me when i go over 5 megs... my cable provider only has 80 channels, so under 5 megs is actually 10-11 days of schedules, which is pretty awesome...
