[QUOTE="Bagal, post: 323607, member: 27764"] Yep, I'm using mc2xml. If you're using the TvServer, then do the following: [LIST] [*]Start the TvServer setup. [*]Go to plugins and enable the XMLTV plugin. [*]Expand the plugins section and click on XMLTV. [*]Change the tvguide.xml folder to where your mc2xml guide file is or alternatively copy the file to the MediaPortal location. [*]You'll need to rename the file generated by mc2xml from xmltv.xml to tvguide.xml as this is what MediaPortal is expecting. [*]Now switch to the mappings tab and click the 'Load/refresh' button. This will load the channels from your xmltv file and attempt to match them up to the channels you have setup in MediaPortal. [*]If there are any channels that don't match, you can manually match them up. [*]Once finished, click 'Save' and then switch back to the 'Settings' tab. [*]I found I had to uncheck the 'Apply timezone compensation....' option for the import to work correctly. [*]Click the 'Import' button. [*]This is where you need to be patient as the import can take some time depending on the number of channels and programs and there's no visible feedback. [/LIST] and that's about it, your guide should now be populated! After I got that all working I then made a batch file which would call mc2xml to generate the file and rename it to tvguide.xml and also created a windows scheduled task to run this batch file nightly. When the new tvguide.xml was generated, MediaPortal would automatically pick this up and re-import everything. HTH, Bagal. [/QUOTE]
