It is an upgrade, however I upgraded from OS7 to Win 10 years ago when the upgrade first became available. Trouble was the original upgrade was absolutely poor and auto update always seemed to affect Mediaportal negatively. The PC is a media centre unit that I keep running for my Mum. She is...

Hi joecrow, hope you are well Thanks for the info Currently it is configured with DefaultWideHD so I will have a go at this on the weekend I recently switched the OS on the machine from Win7 to Win10 and all sorts of strange things are cropping up Windows task scheduler will not work and any...

I hope someone will know what has happened to my MP1 PureVisionHD skin themes Suddenly there are no themes to choose and only Theme: '#skin.themes' is the option Any advice most gratefully received Regards TW

At the moment I am trying to get MediaPortal installed on Windows 7 I'll take another look at the EPG Grabber for DVB-S FreeSAT if I get MediaPortal up and running on Win7 Working on this right now and may be getting somewhere so I'll provide details as I hope the info is useful to others The...

Hi Cybersimian, hope you are well I'm using EPG Collector since the DVB-S EPG data channel went away, and as far as I know that is the current situation. To be honest it was such a stress-out trying to find out why the DVB-S EPG disappeared I do not wish to go back there! I remember you helped...

Hi everyone I hope you are all well Wondering if anyone has a idea about .Net4 and the new 1.26 MediaPortal update The update told me it could not complete the update from 1.23 to 1.26 due to .Net4 being required I searched and downloaded .Net 4.8, (the only option available) but the update is...

You say you may have lost the EPG data, I would go to the EPGcollector application - 'EPG Centre' and "Run" a new download that will replace your tvguide.xml file. XMLTV should update your listings with the new data as soon as the new file is detected I have never used the Radio guide so no...

Fiddling around this morning with my MP 64bit OS to get EPGcollector working Suddenly some EPG appeared, so scanned my Tv channels again and ran the EPGcollector grab and I have a lot of the channels I set as "Favourite" Still not getting anything for Channel4, SonyTV or RT and BBC News &...

If you are using EPGcollector for your DVB-S TV channels, and assuming you are sourcing from Sky for OpenTV channels, then I would guess that you should go to mapping in XLMTV and LOAD your Radio channels, check the mapping and save them before you exit. I would expect the programming to all be...

Its possible that the MP grabber using the info channel may fail again because during these posts it was discovered that MP was not tuning it as the radio channel that the MP requires At the time when the grabber could not resolve an information I purchased a cheap Manhattan FreeSat box from...

I noticed that the info channel returned this morning but decided to stick with EPGcollector If you have problems in the future give EPGcollector a go as it works very well and covers all channels TW

OK, sorry, I got the wrong end of the stick but I am with you now. This post started because the freesat info radio channel changed, (I think one of the guys discovered the audio on the channel went away it is not tuned by MP as a radio channel any more), and it is no longer grabbed by MP EPG...

As far as I am aware it will grab all available data in the one operation. In the EPGcollector application configuration dialogue, after you have set up your parameters and saved the ".ini" file you can click 'Run' and watch as it logs the operation and (hopefully) confirms everything went well...

EPGcollector is the way to go for Freesat, (or Freeview for that matter in my opinion), although I'm not sure about it working on 64bit OS. Definately on 32bit OS. When you are setting up EPGcollector and installing I found that you need to browse to all the program locations again, dont just...

Thanks for that, I think your post sums up the situation Also thanks for the tip about trying the 32bit grab on my 64bit system. I will definately try this Thanks for your help TW
