Hi Lomax

At the moment "Import" only works under the old TV engine, not TV Server. You have to add the channels manually (making sure you get the names correct).

After you have done this and saved it it is a good idea to take a copy of the "WebEPG.bak", "WebEPG.xml" and "WebEPG.xml.bak" files as I believe these (probably just one of these) holds all the details of the channels you have just manually added. They are found in the WebEPG directory. If you then delete the MediaPortal files for any reason, such as a clean reinstall, you can copy these files back and WebEPG will have all your settings again.

Remember also in TV Server in plugins to point the XmlTV plugin to the XMLTV folder in the MediaPortal directory as this is where TVguide.xml is created.

I hope this helps.
