There is a good example of the xml (I will refer to as nz.xml in following) in the forum.

the forum post is a little too long, in short sentence, I guess the xml you’re using miss some data field:

  • <category>News</category>, categoryfield is used for the tv guide filter.
  • <keyword>series</keyword>, keyword field is used for saving to tv or movie library. There’s only three keyword in nz.xml, event,movie,series,(the event I’m not sure of the usage.)

fyi, here’s an example piece from the nz.xml:

 <programme start="20230419173500 +0000" stop="20230419180000 +0000" channel="1">
