release 15 not importing xml?

Hi,
i´ve just updated resolve and I am having an issue while importing a project edited in premiere pro using an XML file: nothing happens. I´ve tried opening it, dragging it, renaming it, creating a new project with the premiere sequence and creating a new file, nothing happens. Is there anyone with the same issue? maybe some changes in the settings of resolve?
Any help will be much appreciated!

So you say it's not doing anything? Strange. Works fine for me on a Mac with 15b5.

Can you post a link to the XML file?

Also works for me in version 15 beta 5

I'm having the same issue. I'm running Resolve 15.0.0B.065 and I can't Import Media from XML. When I select Import Media from XML, I'm able to select my XML file but then nothing happens. I get kicked back out to the Media page and nothing has imported. Any advice?

Well, after trying and trying to Import Media from XML function, I finally was able to import my XML media and timelines. I had to go to Timelines-Import-AAF/EDL/XML. Once I did that then everything imported as it normally did using the 'Import Media from XML' function. I hope this helps those who can't get it working.

I'm having the same problem (with Resolve Studio 15.0.0.088).
Import media from XML lets me pick the XML, then dumps me back to the Media tab, with ZERO media imported.

I can't use Import timelines > Import AAF, EDL, XML because that fails to find 95% of my footage, and I've been advised to first import the media, then import the timeline xml without the media, to get around the problem.

Was there any intention of fixing this? I see the original post dates back to 4 months ago...

Well, XML contains no media since it's an ascii format...

I've had this problem a lot. There are ways to make the conform process cleaner, but they're on the Premiere side; I've had at most 50% of the clips link correctly when importing XML from Premiere in Scratch as well as in Resolve. I even tried in the educational version of Mistika once, it wasn't any better.

Make sure that you get a reference video with clip names and timecodes burned in. A lot of the problems I ran into was that the timecodes in Premiere were wrong, so Resolve couldn't match them up to anything. I was able to in a some cases look for the clip in Resolve by name (I just typed the name into the filter field of a smart bin I set up for that purpose) and force conform them. The rest I conformed by matching the "in" point to the reference image, marking it, and dropping it onto the "fit to fill" (or replace if it got the clip wrong) command in the viewer when in two-pane mode.

Thanks Rakesh,
Looks like I'm just going to autodetect and grade on this one - too many headaches and too little time.
Just a quick note - of course xml is ascii, but it contains all the paths to the media of the sequence (otherwise you could never reconstruct a timeline from it). The Import Media from Xml infers that is should pull in all the media that makes up the timeline, and place it in the Media bin, while not importing the timeline itself.
