Yes, I saw that. Was beyond my understanding, however. Didn't see how to set that up. I'm a relative neophyte, who's done hardly any command-line coding. To be more specific: I don't see, under either "Grabbing Listings" or in the "First use example," where it is designated just where on...

Ok, thanks. I'll stop looking, then. I can't locate, at the moment, the reference to such a file I had found, and can't remember whether it was in the documentation or in a forum post. My "native" genres changed after I stopped using MC2XML with the XMLTV plugin. I'm referring to the top...

Does anyone know where I might find my GenreMap.xml file, which is supposed to enumerate the MP’s native genres? I searched my entire C drive. Thanks, N.

So an update: EPG123 is working fine for me, with a simple daily scheduled batch file as a bridge to MP’s XmlTv plugin. In some ways the metadata is better than I had with MC2XML (a direct XML download from Schedules Direct) and in some ways not as good (a JSON to XML process, if I understand...

Ok, so I think I've gotten EPG123 to work, as a substitute for MC2Xml. May take a couple of days to know for sure. Making a daily EPG update automatic involved writing a simple batch file to move the file from EPG123's Output folder to MP2's XMLTV folder (both in Program Data) and renaming the...

Thanks much, CS. As of now, I've got EPG123 kinda working for me (not clear if I will be able to automate a hand-off between EPG123 and XMLTV in MP2). If I can't make it completely work, I'll give your suggestion a try, and report back.

Thanks much for the pointers and all the info. I think I may try something else first, though. Or maybe this, if I can figure our where and how to install the plug-in .dll. Not at all clear, in MP2.

Not so far as I know. It's been years, now, but I believe I was led to MC2XML by MP documentation. One needs an interface between Schedules Direct and MP/XmlTV. Please, someone, correct me if I'm wrong about that.

Does anyone know how to “fix” the MC2XML application, and hopefully permanently? Mine stopped working sometime after September 29 (I didn’t notice right away, because I had a week’s schedule downloaded with every daily update). I understand that this has happened before, though I don’t quite...

Ok, thanks, Brian. Is EPG 123 relatively easy to set up with MP2? I see it's not a plug-in listed in the MP2 documentation.

Has anyone run into this again? It just happened to me, and it looks like it might have been a problem with an October 1st expiration date. However, the presumably updated MC2XML program downloaded from the link above does not now work. Thanks much, N.

Thanks, Larry. Just to confirm: You've tried it, and MP2 works after the above update? Thanks, N.

Ok: Got MP2 working, after uninstalling two October updates for Windows 11 24H2 for x64-based Systems. Unfortunately, I did not note the numbers of the updates I uninstalled, but the first was designated a security update, and the second, I believe, a cumulative Windows update. So of the three...

Ok, thans. I'll give it a try. Though it looks like our updates don't match. I'll running Windows 11 Pro.

Ok, thanks much, Tarrow. Am I understand that MP2 is working for you on your Windows 11 machined, once you undid the updates? I don't have a KB5007651 among today's updates, strangely.
