Thanks... So annoying. I didn't notice it had stopped working and missed some recordings. The version number still seems to be 1.7.2. Hard to tell that the file has been updated. Sigh. I stream a lot of it now anyway. Good question on mc2xml.exe & schedulesdirect. I donated many, many...

Thanks for posing this. I haven't updated in awhile. I'm going to stick with x86 for now. Bummer that no one else chimed in here. Seems like Media Portal isn't very active anymore (maybe everyone is going to Plex or Kodi). I mostly use Media Portal to manage OTA recording. There seems to...

I had to redownload it too & it now it's working (for SchedulesDirect JSON). You can try to compare file sizes as a first cut on if they are different. Or, if you remove mx2sml.dat from the folder it'll pop up the configuration prompt that shows the version number. It seems to now be at...

Hate to wake up an old thread but I'm seeing the same problem and there is no indication here if this has been addressed. I'd like to switch to MP2, but problems with commercial skipping keep taking me back to MP1. IThe commskip .txt file needs to be on the local machine. If I copy a video...

Thanks for posting this. I looked at using powershell to rework the mc2xml file, but got turned off by having to modify my powershell user permissions on the PC. I ended up just using a single .bat script which I'll attach below. I've changed my tv guide update daily scheduler to call this bat...

Thanks for the comments. I have the media portal GUI configured to display the Episode Title and Number in the guide. So, I: 1) stopped the TV server 2) edited tvguide.xml (removing the dd_progid lines) 3) restarted the TV server 4) went into the TV server configuration xmltv and force loaded...

(Media Portal 1.17) I've been using mc2xml to get guide data from the "new" Microsoft servers. It generally works, but will go down occasionally. Considering that Media Center has been removed from Windows 10 I've been working on a switch to SchedulesDirect. I'm still using mc2xml to pull data...

Thanks. Maybe I'll give zap a try. Are new episodes of series programs flagged as "new" ? Dave

I've been using the donator mc2xml & xmltv to get my EPG from MS. Unfortunately, I haven't had any updates for about a week. My guide data is going to run out on Thursday. There are a couple of active threads. Apparently, the MS servers are down (there are 3rd hand rumors that the problem is...

I don't think you're missing anything. Thanks for the update, I tried this a few months back and had the same results. I ended up reverting back to MP1 (because of this and a few other missing features like editing the pads on existing timers).

I believe the databases are different between MP1 and MP2 (even when using the same TV Engine). You'll also notice that MP1 and MP2 run different versions of the "TV Service". That's also why an MP1 client can't connect to an MP2 server. I seem to remember reading that if you have both MP1 and...

My problem with commercial skipping is not on the TV Engine side, it's that the MP2 player does not seem to support commercial skipping. I need to play around with it some more. Another thing missing in MP2 seems to be the ability to edit the early/late padding on an existing timer. I see that...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I haven't been able to find much on MP2 and commercial skipping. Just installed MP2 (Summer '15 Update 1) with my freshly installed Windows 10 machine (using the included TVE3.0). I don't see any sign of commercial skipping (comskip support). Maybe I'm...

Just installed MP2 with my freshly installed Windows 10 machine. I don't see any sign of commercial skipping (comskip support). Maybe I'm missing something, or there's an add-in I need. I found this thread from 2 years back...
