    Thanks 2BitSculptor! I am sorry....I asked the wrong question.

    I would like to setup a win task for Schedules Direct, and, I'd like to know what is the program/script that win needs to run. From the Schedules Direct download there are 2 .dll files. Should I be using one of these files, or, something else within MP? If SS .dll's, which one?

    Thanks!

    [Note: I already integrated plugin within MP.]

    I'm curious as to why you need to run a win task.

    According to the text file in the download, both dll's need to be placed into your TV Server Plugin folder. Then you start the TV Server Config program and go to the plugin section to configure the plugin. You should be able to set the line-up refresh schedule there.

    The TvdbLib.dll handles renaming the recorded TV episodes to include the Tvdb.com season/episode label to work with the TV Series plugin.

    My understanding is that SD will download the data as you run it or do a "Force" via the selection in TV COnfig so when the server is reset (or stop/start). On a diff site there is mention that one can set a win task and download the data, for example, on a weekly basis. Yet, what program/script get run? IS it the .dll's? (I'd assume so, correct?) If it is, then, based on your input around TvdbLib.dll handling recorded episodes, then, the other .dll takes care of the epg download (correct)? Thanks!

    p.s. Or, does this plugin automatically feel epg on a regular (frequency?) basis?

    The plugin automates the EPG download itself, you can select the frequency. You can force the download from the plugin config as well. It may take several minutes to fill the EPG data in your TV Guide. You need to fill in your Schedules Direct account info in the plugin config.

    Does this still work in 1.2.3? Since my upgrade, I get this error in my error log file:

    Code (text):
    2012-04-27 14:36:24.062500 [SetupTv(1)]: Exception  :System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Gentle.Framework, Version=1.5.0.29111, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=80b5de62e27be49b' or one of its dependencies.

      at SchedulesDirect.Plugin.SchedulesDirectPluginConfig.OnSectionDeActivated()
      at SetupTv.SetupTvSettingsForm.ActivateSection(SectionSettings section)
    It took a while to show up, since I had 13 days of guide data that had to work its way out. But I can't seem to get past this error. Any thoughts? Does it need compiled against this version of MP?

    Thanks geoffstewart for the update. You said that you don't use the plugin anymore... can we know why? Are you aware of an other method to get EPG for canadian?

    I have a special request to add in the plugin... are you open to ear what my request is? It concerns Hauppauge Colossus/HDPVR users.

    thanks.
