Here is the code. This subject is getting really tiring for me. I'm deeply sorry to have disturbed this forum. It wasn't my intention. Just wanted to help fellow MCE users to continue to get free EPG. Here is the complete script. I tried my best.
#!/usr/bin/env perl
# zap2xml (c)...
I don't think the forum is injecting anything into the file, this would be the first one. No need to be paranoid, it's all good. I don't really share anything on the web, I don't even have a google account.
Don't take my word for it, let other users tell weather it (newzap2xml_5.exe) works or...
Ignore the warning, the file is clean. I use MS Defender, and this version didn't trigger anything on my system, that's why I published it. At the end of the day, the .exe file is clean and it works now with the supplied libraries. Disable A/V during extraction, and good to go.
It's actually a...
So, hopefully this will be the last one. I've identified the missing Perl libraries (3 files). Here is the 5th iteration : newzap2xml_5.exe with the missing libraries. Put all 4 files in the same directory/folder !!!
Disable the Perl environment (rename Perl folder) on your computer, the...
It's interesting. On my main MCE computer it works perfectly. On another machine I'm also getting your error message...
I don't know at this point. I'll keep trying different version compilers...
For the time being use the first version newzap2xml.exe and exclude it from A/V . This version...
I've recompiled the zap2xml.pl (script) file into newzap2xml_2.exe (ver 2) with an older Perl compiler. I'm not getting fasle positive A/V error(s) anymore. Apparently newer libraries (according to Github) can trigger Microsoft's Defender
Now we have a different problem, attachment deleted for...
Basically, you can NOT use a fixed IP address to download EPG from gracenote, as their IP changes on a daily basis. So, the hosts file method will only work if you run a "tracert tvlistings.gracenote.com" and whatever IP you get back immediately plug into your hosts file. Then it will work...
Ok, here we go. I took the publicly available.pl (Perl) file and using a perl compiler, compiled it into a windows executable. Then I zipped the file to make it smaller for easier sharing. Than I downloaded the same file from this forum, and tried unzipping it to make sure everything was kosher...
This is how I do it with a batch file:
@echo off
cd c:\zap2xml
newzap2xml -d 14 -F -u username -p password
cd \Program Files (x86)\Geekzone\EPG Collector
EPGCollector.exe /ini="C:\ProgramData\Geekzone\EPG Collector\EPG Collector.ini"
exit
Again, this is for windows and media center.
