gwatkins, glad you were able to get your recordings set up the way you wanted. My previous post was an attempt to explain the options using mc2xml/xmltv. I actually use the -b option so I could continue using my existing scheduled recordings. A few shows like local TV news always show up a "old" so I needed to tweak a few recordings...

Hello and welcome busterbluth123 :)
MediaPortal doesn't support grabbing North American (ATSC) OTA or cable guide data, so the built in "DVB EPG" grabber is not going to be any use to you.
The SchedulesDirect plugin should work if you've configured your line-up etc. etc. etc.

I think I can confirm that CPU use in the TV guide is higher than when in TV home, but I can't confirm 95% CPU use at certain positions.
In TV home, my 1st gen Core 2 e6600 2.4 GHz CPU sits at between 2 and 5%.
In the TV guide that jumps to 7 .. 10%.

cannot test right now, but from test yesterday i have seen that "BBC World news" that has EPG with language code [gre] or [CYP] (Cyprus i assume?) has really only EPG eintries for the past, not even for now. So we cannot do anything for this, because the problem isn't time shift but EPG content itself (i.e having entries from the past...

Thanks!
Actually, the upgrade (1.2-1.4) came about from a system crash the other night after which nothing worked. I tried upgrading in case the MP installaation was broken, but didn't change much. After looking at the logs, I saw that the program table was corrupt and repaired it. After that, it was almost working right. But now...

Hello Wbunaarf
I think you're right that this functionality doesn't exist, and personally I have no desire to add such a functionality.

On many German channels on Astra 19.2 which transmit a DVB EIT EPG, they use the "Short Event" field to give a short description of the program or an episode name, and then give the full description in one or more "Extended Event" fields.
The DVB EPG parser takes all of these fields and just concatenates them all, which is correct...

Hello,
is it possible to use the inbuilt IMDB query for recorded TV?
Sometimes it would be nice to see ratings of a recorded movie or maybe download fanart and/or covers for recorded TV.

I think you do have to set that from within MP now. From memory, I think it's under the Settings menu, then Skin (or GUI->Skin or something), then you can change the number of TV Guide lines. It's funny, I prefer it on 11 lines with no genre buttons, but whenever I update MP it reverts back to 7 (or 9? I'm using the default wide...

I think I had this problem with only one or two channels (Radio 4 IIRC) I seem to have fixed it by changing the grabbing time from midnight to midday. There may be some sort of logical explanation in the grabbing time falling on the cusp of the day changing over.
So, worth a try?

Dunno probably my fault :) The thing is, seems like WebEPG is easier to setup (a lot) and I saw no difference in the epg data between the two. Seems like neither give me Season and Episode number.
