EPG with only an xml file

sugaraspa · 2006-11-17, 18:23

Hey all,

I've got a site which I can regularly download a complete .xml EPG (which does adhere to the general standard).

My question is, how do Ii import this xml file into MP?

MP doesn't pick up the program listings (and in MPSetup, i've pointed MP to the location of my custom tvguide.xml (which Ii renamed to tvguide.xml)).

Most forums are aimed at people still at the grabber phase - I'm bypassing this in the hopes to streamline everything, but don't know how to convince MP that it's got all the info it needs.

Any help, would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,
Paul

TVguide.xml (not sure case sensitive), normally resides in the XMLTV folder, which as far as i know is imported on entering TV.

So i would use that as your default folder.

Hi there,

right - it's working now - I think either I was expecting immediate results, or it is case sensitive?

Either way, thanks for taking the time to answer...
