Any other information?

(For example, is this a new or intermittent issue?) … when i remove the category, i get no error. but i copied that category information from the official .dtd example

[honir]

The ordering of the elements is important. category must come before language and icon

expecting (title+ , sub-title* , desc* , credits? , date? , category* , keyword* , language? , 
orig-language? , length? , icon* , ...

Move category before language and your file will validate ok

(apart from the missing channel entities that is, and missing space before timezone offset)

oh, thanks for this clarification!

No prob. Any other questions feel free to ask. :-)
