Yes, Jo, that is what is so strange about this, that it was happening across multiple OSs (Windows and Mac), multiple versions of TVBrowser, different settings, and multiple internet locations. Only common denominator was the SD plugin. (I know there is no channel icon data with XML, I was just describing what happened). But sure enough, changing to XML, running a download and changing back to JSON did the trick for me. Before that, in the previous week I had tried deleting JSON data in the configure window. Also I had deleted all the listings info manually on my computer, with no success, and restarting not only TVBrowser, but the computer. Also I tried connecting normally to the internet and via VPN (yeah, a little desperate, but I was trying everything I could think of). And I knew the problem did not lie solely within the SD data or my connection, because MacProgramming Guide and Mytelly (albeit old programs) were working and downloading flawlessly each and every time.
I've been using the updated plugin since last year, and it was working ok. Only thing I saw that changed when the problem began, was that I began to receive channel icons, where before I did not. Could it be that SD recently began providing channel icons, and that addition, somehow, messed my JSON download? Or that maybe I was using XML all along (which there is no way to corroborate right now, unfortunately it is data I can't provide)
I have yet to try this trick in my Windows installation (version 3.4.3, plugin version 4.0.1.2 beta). Right now, it is still not working correctly, not downloading all the info, while the Mac installation (version 3.4.4.95, plugin version 4.0.1.2 beta), after the XML-JSON trick, is working as expected. I am going to try the XML-JSON trick on my Windows version and report back.
On the other question, is there a way to download old versions of plugins?
