Yes, this was the solution. I am now running with SchedulesDirect plugin 3.0.3.1 and TVB again recognizes the 2012 data. Thank you for your help. Problem solved.

I can't test Schedules Direct, but I uploaded an update of the plugin. Maybe this helps.

The TV data service 'SchedulesDirect' has caused an error during update TV data: null
java.lang.NullPointerException

Fresh install on Freebsd 8.2, jdk-1.6.0.3p4_28

This is my current configuration:

I found and deleted both the Applications Support and Preferences for TVB. Then I reinstalled TVB 3.1. I specified channels, SchedulesDirect (only plugin) and attempted an update - still no data.

I went to SchedulesDirect web site and deleted my existing lineup and reestablished a new lineup. I checked the raw data output from SchedulesDirect and it was about 350 pages or 15,000+ lines of data (as seen by the Mac editor).

Still no data observed in TVB. Looking for advice. Thank you.

First try to reinstall. The settings are in the home directory: http://enwiki.tvbrowser.org/index.php/Home_directory

I have been using TV Browser for several years. Current config is Mac 10.7.2 with latest Java. TVB Version 3.01 started getting no data from Schedules Direct after 1/1/12 so I decided to try TVB 3.1. Same result. SchedulesDirect account is paid up and has TV-Browser selected as program. TVB program attempts to fetch data but gets error:

So, I deleted all TVBrower versions and application support library file containing plug-in and TVData folders.

I restarted installation from DMG file, got same result - no data. Yet the plugin download remembers my SchedulesDirect password and the TVB favorites plugin remembers names in my Favorites list and my list of channel settings.

So I seems I am not deleting the entire package.

Questions: Are there any know TVB problems fetching SchedulesDirect data that occurred over the 2011 to 2012 date change? The SchedulesDirect forum indicates no problems there.

How do I delete the entire TVB package so I can be sure I am getting a clean install?

What do you suggest to further diagnose or repair this problem?

Thank you.
