EPG question

henk99 · 2008-10-13, 10:23

This weekend I was working on the EPG in MP. This appears to be working fine, but (in the netherlands) only has 3 days of data in advance.
Before I started with MP some weeks ago, I was working with Vista media center. In VMC, the EPG parts is working very user friendly and has (I think) 2 weeks worth of data.

Isn't there any way of having MP use this type of info? What is the source for the Media center EPG? Maybe Microsoft doesn't allow others to use the data or something, But i was just wondering if I could improve this 3 day limit I'm having now. it looks like the data is present somewhere, but it looks like only microsoft knows where

MC2XML

Do a google search on above and see if it works for you

A quick check and trial didn't do it for me, but unfortunately I'm not such a wiz with these matters. I followed the examples, but didn't see a proper one for the Netherlands

I tried:

mc2xml -c nl -g 7521PL
and
mc2xml -c nl -g "7521PL"
and
mc2xml -c nl -g 7521pl
and
mc2xml -c nl -g "7521pl"

All the options give me an error: Error HL: -g

Anyone know how to fix this?

Gewon gebruiken zonder de PL

mc2xml -c nl -g 7521

Thanks to this thread I actually found MC2XML, I didn't know it existed and it works nicely for me too !

Thanks JorisFRST! I didn't think of that option yet. It appears to be working fine. Tonight I will try to import it into MP but I assume it will work as it also does at your end.
