[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1282418, member: 141969"] I regret to say that what you are trying to do is not going to work. :( (1) I downloaded the plugin and installed it without problem on a pre-release version of MP 1.26. The trick is to use the correct version -- I used version 1.11.0.3 which can be downloaded from [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/getting-started.139956/post-1274186']this post[/URL]. (y) (2) If you browse the Schedules Direct web site, you will see that SD provide EPG data for many different countries, one of which is the UK. (y) (3) Unfortunately, SD provide EPG data in XML format [i]only[/i] for the USA and Canada. For all of the other countries, the data is provided in JSON format. The TV Server plugin cannot process JSON data -- the plugin requires data in XML format. :( So, the plugin will work well for users in the USA and Canada, but not for users elsewhere in the world. (4) If you want to use Schedules Direct, you will need to download the data in JSON format, use a JSON to XML conversion tool to convert to XML, and then use the XmlTv plugin to load the XML data into TV Server. See [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/getting-started.139956/post-1274216']this post[/URL] from UK user wjw (who uses Schedules Direct successfully with MP). (5) Finally, I note that you want to use the EPG with Emby. Please be advised that the Schedules Direct terms of service prohibit using Schedules Direct data with commercial products (this is part of the contract between Schedules Direct and Gracenote, who are the ones who actually collect and aggregate the EPG data). Emby is specifically mentioned as one of the prohibited users, and that applies even if the data is downloaded via a permitted open-source product such as MP's TV Server plugin. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
