Thijs_Rallye ....I did exactly as you suggested and used your plugin.py file. The reboot seemed to create a new plugin.pyo file. However when I invoke the coolguide it just flicks up empty and disappears again (before I put in your plugin.py file it flicked up momentarily with epg-items and then gave me the please upgrade coolguide messagemessage). Today is February the 1st....so everything you say is consistent with my problem. Any ideas as I am a novice! I FTP'd in ASCII .........
Sorry...resolved...thanks a million. I ommitted to change the 2017--->2099 value in the eolvs line
