    have played around with it on several MP installations (using the reg's version via donation) but seem to come to grief with missing channel data.

    Currently Im using dvb-t stream for epg but has annoying limitation of only being good for a day or two in advance.

    Has anyone got epgstream working *reliably* with MP?

    I live in the central west of NSW and my EPG over DVB is working fine.
    I use epgstream for AUSTAR channels only.
    Several things I learnt were:
    -The tvguide.xml and xmltv.dtb? have to be in the same folder,
    - Make a blank tvguide.lst? (with notepad), file and put also in that directory,
    -Point the xmltv plgin to the folder were the tvguide.xml files are,
    - Turn off " Delete all programs etc, etc (recommended) " - ( I found that this removed ALL EPG data)
    -Select Mappings and click on load/refresh,
    - Now assign the loaded channels to the tvguide.xml channels and click save.
    - Go back to the previous tab and click on "import guide".

    It should now import the tvguide.xml data into the database and now should display the information.
    eg: Programs inmported = 3800


    PS - Sorry I am a bit vague on the correct names of things as I am away from my HTPC and am going off memory...:rolleyes:
