    Schedules Direct EPG Plugin - how to use it?

    Thanks Milhouse. I didn't realize the channels should be named identically to schedules Direct . I renamed some channels and confirmed its working. I have installed MySql workbench, but I haven't figured out how to use it to map the channels if the names don't match. Also, I'm not sure if its...

    Schedules Direct EPG Plugin - how to use it?

    Well, I disabled xmltv plugin. Refreshed the EPG in The TV server manual controls. I enabled the SD plugin, and set it to force a full guide update on next TV Server restart. Then I manually restarted the TV service in manual control. I waited a couple of hours and still no guide data. I...

    Schedules Direct EPG Plugin - how to use it?

    Thanks milhouse, I'll check it out. In my setup, there are a couple of channels that Schedules direct doesn't map properly, I need to pull a second SD lineup from another city and manually map them in xmltv. I'll have to check out mySQL workbench.

    Tools and other software EPG-Buddy Questions

    Thanks Lehmden, I'll check this out. Since Tunein.com listed my local channels in the US, I didn't know it only pulled data for Europe. FM radio is nice if your internet is spotty, and I have internet radio stations, but they don't integrate into my EPG in MediaPortal/Kodi the way FM stations...

    Tools and other software EPG-Buddy Questions

    I'm rebuilding my HTPC system, thread link in my sig, and I'm trying to compare EPG buddy with Schedules Direct, which I have been using. Schedules direct does not have the correct schedule info for some of my local channels. I've worked around this by adding another broadcast lineup for another...

    Schedules Direct EPG Plugin - how to use it?

    I've been rebuilding my HTPC system, and I'm experimenting with different EPG Grabbers for OTA TV in the USA. I have been using Schedules Direct, grabbing with mc2xml and then importing with xmlTV plugin. I've tried to use the Schedules Direct EPG Client plugin but it never seemed to work for...

    FM/AM/HD Radio Cards

    Thanks MM, you are confirming what I suspected. However, as regards to Webstreaming radio, that is great when it works, but if you have a spotty internet connection the OTA broadcasts are a better source.

    Media Portal TV Server

    Thanks MM1352000. I've been using TV server for MP1 for a while. Since I'm reinstalling the whole system, is there any advantage to using one version over the other, in a single seat TV Server Backend and Kodi Frontend configuration?

    FM/AM/HD Radio Cards

    I'm in central Ohio, and I have an HVR 2250, that receives FM radio, but doesn't seem to extract the Radio Data System information. I'd be interested in also getting AM radio and HD Radio, but I can't seem to find any PC hardware that supports this. Looks like no one is making them for HD Radio...

    Ongoing Building an HTPC

    WOW, its been a couple years since i stated this thread. I think a Windows 10 update started causing problems. I've reinstalled Windows, updated all drivers and firmware, pulled out the HVR-1800 to test with Linux, and bought an WimTV HD Quad, and switch to all OTA. I'm trying to look at other...
