[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1059597, member: 82144"] Just a couple of quick comments... We do have such a connector for DVB broadcasts which provide information in the broadcast stream pretty much as standard. The problem is that when it comes to EPG for the US and Canada, there is no consistent, universal, legal and free option. In general I also think that doing things with plugins allows more people to contribute and customise to make everything work best for their region. Don't underestimate how different TV in the US is to TV in other parts of the world. ;) I know you reported the null reference exception problem with the SD plugin so you've had a bad experience with it. Honestly that is the first serious issue that I have seen with that plugin... ever. I suggest you work with geoffstewart to figure it out. He's posted instructions for you: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/getting-scheduledirect-to-work.124222/page-2#post-1059573[/url] Can you tell me more about the mc2xml problem? Were you able to generate an XMLTV file? I think you've had a bad run in both cases, and I'd suggest don't give up. There really isn't any better option for MP at this time. Yep, understood. As described above: the US and Canada have it tough. Your country decided to create their own TV standard which quite frankly is not as good as the standard used in other parts of the world. Difficulty with guide data - unless you pay for it like MS with WMC - is one of the consequences. [/QUOTE]
