The problem is that xmltv2vdr sets it's timeout
for the whole EPG conversion process, I think. If your
xmltv2vdr conversion takes along time (due to large files, slow
computer, slow network connection, slow disk, etc.) then you can get a
timeout.
I think the problem can be fixed by editing the file xmltv2vdr.pl
and making a minor edit to the function (subroutine) ProcessEpg.
Look for ProcessEpg, and the look for the code below. The line
"alarm($Timeout);"
needs to be inserted. It resets the timeout counter after each line of
the XML file
is processed. (This is a bit excessive, but fixes the problem.)
foreach $xmlline (@xmllines)
{
chomp $xmlline;
alarm($Timeout);
$xmlline=xmltvtranslate($xmlline);
