I apologize for not getting back to update this progress. I was in an accident at work on the 11th, and ended up with a broken toe. Sadly...my trial expired for the guide...so I'm going to have to tinker with it some more & make another email up to get another 7 day trial. Probably won't be for another week or so...but I'll post here...

Ok, great, thank you! I'm going to give MP2 a try since it's going to be the newer version. Due to the learning curve here with the other members of the house, it may be the better route since it will be new from the start, rather than leaving Windows Media Center, training how to use MP1, then later down the road upgrade to MP2 &...

I just wanted to report that I followed the instructions from Cruzer to get the paid version of mc2xml.exe and got it to work without much difficulty. I am using the Windows 7/8 data service as was suggested in the email that I received along with the mc2xml file. My OS is Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. I am running MediaPortal 1.11.0.

Wow, you guys respond fast! /cheers
You nailed it right on the head first try...I had "siteid" instead of "siteId" >.<
I'm downloading guide info now. If anything else pops up I'll be back for more questions.
Thanks again!

IMHO the linking of EPG data to channels is the worst weakness of the SchedulesDirect plugin. I normally recommend people use mc2xml + XMLTV to pull in the SchedulesDirect data. At least that way you have explicit control over which EPG is linked to which channels.
Thanks! I set it up and it appears to working a few days will tell...

That is the conclusion I am coming to. It is inbuilt on the Antec Fusion case so would be ideal to use. With iMon you select the MCE remote and can select Media Portal and configure buttons etc. Maybe there is too many interfaces. I have not tried not using the MP HID but am guessing that if none is selected then the remote will not...

Hi,
I would like to use Media Portal with my DVB-T dual TV card.
So here are my questions?
1. Does MP need to have MS Media...
After we changed to Summer time here in Finland the EPG is showing "Data not available" on channel FOX using DVB-T. Other channels work OK and also the other program works better with FOX information. I have done the channel search many times but it does not help.
It is just one channel, but I watch that channel often so it irritates...

ok, now it's working. I disabled the DVB-IP and the RadioWebStream servers, see the attached screenshot. I know that this triggers a TV-Server restart but I don't need these servers anyway, so I guess you were right in pointing me to a TV-Server restart. Thanks :)

Sure. I'm an electronics and computer systems engineer, so I have some understanding of what you're saying. However, writing code for TV Server is nothing like writing code for embedded microcontrollers.
Of course we have bugs! No code is perfect. If you think our code is sloppily written, that we're bad programmers... or whatever...

Hey folks,
I just posted an alpha version of a plugin for testing which should solve these EPG issues.
It's a regex/wildcard based EPG filter plugin called EPGCleaner.
Using the plugin, this regex pattern could remove those suffix's from program titles, though it could probably be written more elegantly:
\s\((S|7|12|16|18)\)$
More...

That's because either you haven't created any channel groups, or you haven't sorted the channel groups you created.

I just installed MP. The channels in my EPG are not sorted numerically.
Any thoughts?

Might be a false alarm..... I noticed that one of the two dvb-s2 tuners wasn't doing anything.... ever!! I figured I could record bbc1 and watch other channels (except itv1) because they were on the same transponder however when I tried a few more channels it gave me "no tuner free" which started ringing alarm bells that either 1...

All the EPG for freesat comes from a single channel (MP detects it as a "radio" channel). So I couldn't use the "only grab EPG for this transponder" idea because the EPG comes from a channel that isn't on the same transponder as most of the normal channels.
There's only limited terrestrial freeview where I am (only two of the...

I'm a little surprised you had major download problems with SD-plugin. For my main TV Server I use SD(data)/mc2xml/xmltv, looked at my debug system and the SD-plugin had EPG data up till Jan-31. I prefer mc2xml since I can use the "-b" option to tag repeat (not new) shows with a * in the ProgramName.
Not aware of a way to modify how...

noticed my mc2xml legacy downloads had stopped working a few days ago. Looked at the mc2xml webpage http://mc2xml.hosterbox.net/...
I fixed it by switching in the task manager from mc2xml.exe to a command file and do error checking. That's much more reliable.
In TM change the .exe extention to mc2xml.cmd. Leave everything else as is.
In the settings tab, set "queue a new instance".
Now create mc2xml.cmd in the xmltv directory.

ok, I have a working version now.
There is only a small "bug" but I think it is not critical.
Everytime a timeshift stops, it restarts the epg-grabber.
comment from some dev:
If you want I can send you the dif-files. Maybe you can add it to some release.

Hey guys,
I'm using 4 tuners, but the epg-grabber only works if no tuner is in use.
Is there any way to change this behavior...
Hi bd0426,
Yes, I have all of those options un-checked. I just installed the updated DLL, forced a guide update upon restart, restarted the TVServer Service, and as of right now, both the "custom" channel numbers and channel names appear to be sticking, but I'll follow up in a couple of days to fully confirm.
Thanks!
