RE: [ECS] TVL does not announce shows Mark Sekelsky Fri, 31 Dec 1999 12:39:37 -0600

Still not announcing.  Here is what I *do* know:

TVL Parse is being called.  I inserted a line in the event to be spoken when
the event is entered, and this line plays.

TVL Code does NOT get set to anything.  I added lines in a TEMP event to
have a message played anytime that TVL Code Is Not Now <NUL>.  This message
never plays, even though I setup tvlfav.txt to have a show announced.

Mark,
First, please download again and double-check
your TVL.BAT Item against that in EXAMPLE.CFG.
If it still fails, copy all TVL Items/Events from
EXAMPLE.CFG (less the TVL.BAT Item).
