[QUOTE="robbo100, post: 726759, member: 91446"] I have found the XMLTV plugin very useful and simple to set up. I use [URL="http://www.birtles.org.uk/xmltv/"]XMLTV GUI[/URL] to download the EPG data from Radio Times and I set it up to save the data to Run the first import to generate the xml file then go into MP TV Server config and enable the [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/13_Plugins/XmlTv"]XMLTV plugin[/URL]. Force an import and then click on the mappings tab. (there is a little bug with this button that MP TV Server appears to have frozen, but it is actually processing the data and will unfreeze once complete - it can take 5 minutes so be patient. Select the TV group you want to map epg data to and then click . Most will auto-map, but you will need to do some (such as "BBC ONE" vs "BBC1") Click Save. Force an Import again (remembering that it might appear frozen again). Now configure windows task scheduler to run xmlconsole.exe (or a filename like that (can't remember exactly)) once a week to automatically grab your epg data for you and configure the xmltv plugin to grab epg data about 10 mins after the scheduled tasks. It should all work perfectly! Robbo [/QUOTE]
