Parse Error in Channel List - bkaz - 2014-11-07
I just set up a fresh install of Gotham with the MythTV client and successfully connected to the back end on a different computer. I can view all the recordings but the channel list and the program guide are blank. The PVR status page shows zero channels found. The channels appear correctly on the Android app and on separate computer running the MythTV frontend.
It looks like there is a parse error with the channels. There are no other errors in the log. I think one of the channels might have an illegal character or delimiter in its name. If so I should be able to rename the offending channel in the MythTV backend. I'll try that later tonight.
So here's the part of the log that deals with the error:

Hi @bkaz,
Can you download the full response from backend using your web browser with the url:
http://server:6544/Channel/GetChannelInfoList?SourceID=%31&StartIndex=%30&Count=%31%30%30
Where server = the ip of your backend.
Thanks

@bkaz any news ?
RE: Parse Error in Channel List - Trejep - 2014-11-27
I am getting the same error.
Using the getchannel info url gives me this:
"This page contains the following errors:

Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

I noticed that if I change the url to http://server:6544/Channel/GetChannelInfoList?SourceID=1&StartIndex=0&Count=18 . It returns an XML without any errors. If count >=19 I get the Char 0x0 out of allowed range error.
Hmm...just went into my mythtv-setup channel editor and noticed there were triangles after the name..assuming they were invalid characters...I deleted the empty characters and now I get a normal XML response when requesting the full range...now to test it with kodi pvr.mythtv
