[QUOTE="ijourneaux, post: 791197, member: 114024"] I don't think I told you that I was a developer so I don't think you missed anything. Let me answer this question first I didn't do anything to "add" the HDPVR. I scanned for avaialbe channels on the other tuners and restarted the TVService. SD added in the HDPVR channels and mapped the Adaptec and HDHomeRUn tuners. Unfortunately if it mapped a channel to the HDHomeRun tuner, it did not add it to the list of channels available for the HDPVR tuner. Hope that explanation is clearer as to what happened I realize now that adding the HDPVR channels last is the key to getting it to almost work with SchedulesDirect and perhaps that would work in a final more robust solution. The problem is that all channels in the SD guide need to be added to the HDPVR tuner. This did not happen as I describe above. I see a system where you bring in all of the available channels from SD (This would be the starting point for the HDPVR) then map the SD channels to the actual tuner channels using a best guess (This is what SD tries to do). Then display the mappings and allow the user to make any corrections as necessary. I can image that as you handle channel umbering/naming across the different standards, that it will be virtually imposible to handle all cases correctly. In that case, the best approach is to get the user as close as possible and then allow him to easily make corrections when he notices errors. Since you indicate XMLTV allows for manual mapping, perhpas that is the model that should be use. Ok I have the latest version of the code checked out. Compiling doesn'tget too far as it is dependant on the TVServer project. I suppose I can check that out as well. Any other trick to creating a buildable environemnt. I am sure I can figure it out but somtime there is a prefered directory structure for the plugin in reference to the main project. I realize that I need the TVServer and MP common folder trees as well but do the projects require tthe folder to be in certain places relatieve to one another. Take Care. [/QUOTE]
