EPG Problem - No data ever show in MP

phillipjfry · 2007-02-20, 04:40

Hey Guys,

Im from Melbourne, Australia and love media portal. I have everything working apart from EPG. No matter what I cant get it working. I'm trying to use webEPG. Is there a tutorial on doing tihs... I mean a real step by step because I have tried for 4 days and just cant get it to work.

Please Help

Almost there. Great news... I can see the data for all my channels. only problem is that the data seems to be about 6 hours behind where it should be.

it shows on my guide 9am with kary ann and above that my media center shows 3:30 as it is the current time... do I need to set offset somewhere?

You shouldn't need to set any off-set times at all. Make sure that nothing is set in Mediaportal Setup -> Television -> Program guide.

Does the data in the TVGuide.xml have the correct times?

What source have you nominated to pull the data from?

Can you provide a specific example?

Hey Mate. Thanks for your help so far. I have not sett any offset in the options. I have also not check the box that says get times from XML. the information is coming from the source "6-minnie.tuhs.org"

I dont know where to look in the XML file to see if the times are correct. Should I post my xml file?

OK here is my xml file attached in a txt file. Thanks for all your help so far. really looking forward to resolving this issue

Hmmmm - this is weird. I have just had a look at your TVGuide.xml file and it has all the times 6 hours later than they should be ....

For example, I looked at this schedule on ABC TV

Bob The Builder – at 09:00 on 21-02-2007

In my TVGuide.xml file it is listed as:-

<programme start="20070221090000" stop="20070221091000" channel="abc-vic@abc.net.au">
<title>Bob the Builder</title>

which is correct (start time is 2007-02-21 09:00:00)

But in your TVGuide.xml it is listed as:-

<programme start="20070221150000" stop="20070221151000" channel="abc-vic@abc.net.au">
<title>Bob the Builder</title>

which is incorrect (start time is 2007-02-21 15:00:00) - 6 hours later!

I really don't know where the 6-hour discrepancy is coming from ....

What version of MediaPortal are you using ?

I wonder if this was a bug in WebEPG at some point, that was fixed in a SVN?

What timezone is your Windows (XP or MCE?) set to?
