[QUOTE="karl10247, post: 1173202, member: 116613"] All, So I've just switched over from using XMLTV GUI and radio times to MC2XML and atlas epg source. The new version of MC2XML is able to scrape this data no problem. Setup was fairly pain free - I registered for a free API with atlas and followed the instructions on the MC2XML to setup which was very simple. Basically you run MC2XML once, select atlas for the source, add your API, select region and it write these settings into a dat file so next time you run it the settings are remembered and it grabs the xml. Channels can be specified with a separate config file but I just download the full UK listing and use my channel selections in MP to take what I need. By the way..... [USER=120269]@lisag[/USER] [USER=82144]@mm1352000[/USER] [USER=98267]@doskabouter[/USER] [USER=117536]@RonD[/USER] [USER=26020]@TritonT[/USER] [USER=119508]@hucknallred[/USER] [USER=11220]@jameson_uk[/USER] [USER=141969]@CyberSimian[/USER] using MC2XML might interest you. Feel free to tag anyone else who might be interested When I first ran MC2XML I had issues with TCP errors but I resolved this by changing my DNS to 8.8.8.8 for google Guide data is overall better than RT. Virtually all of the mainstream channels in the UK have data now, including all of the HD channels, +1 channels and regional channels. 7 days of data is downloaded by default but there may be an option to select more. Episode numbers and titles seem to be well provided (much better than RT for coverage) but there is a stickler (read on). So heres what ive noticed: Episode data is given as "Episode XX" and I'd say 95% of programs I've recorded on the mainstream channels has this data Series data, from what I can see, is not given Episode names are given just as often as episode numbering Now heres the stickler, it appears that episode numbers are rolled into the episode names so if you decide to show episode numbers ONLY in MP you wont see anything. However if you choose to display episode titles ONLY in MP you will see the likes of (for example a place in the country) "Episode 12: Devon and Cornwall". I don't have the brainpower to separate these out unfortunately but duplicate recording handling works well for me using the episode title as the key Discussion topics: Is there a way to get 14 days of data? Is series data provided and if so is it under the correct XML flag? Is there a way to postprocess and separate episode numbers from episode titles? Is there a way to postprocess and format series/episode numbers to SXXEXX? Lets discuss[DOUBLEPOST=1453757413][/DOUBLEPOST]p.s I take no credit for MC2XML, the developer is amazing and has been very quick answering my emails around the above discussion topics [/QUOTE]
