Dunno probably my fault

The thing is, seems like WebEPG is easier to setup (a lot) and I saw no difference in the epg data between the two. Seems like neither give me Season and Episode number. I have MCE Buddy which the latest version takes the file recorded by MP and grabs (via metadata I guess) the info it needs and renames it adding Season and Episode number. Plus it removes commercials like a champ without me needing to get a degree in astrophysics and spend hours configuring text files and log files LOL...

MP1 MP2 XMLTV not populating guide? Can anyone help? DE

I used to use the grabber but a few years back it disappeared on FreeSat DVBS. That is when I changed to EPG Collector. The extra benefit is that it collects from the Sky platform so it will give EPG for all the FreeSat channels plus the unencrypted movie channels on the Sky platform. It also allows me to pick the channels dedicated...

MP1 MP2 Genre in the UK DVB-T EPG DE

In the UK, the EPG transmitted in the DVB-T datastream allows each programme to have two genres -- a primary genre, and a secondary genre (i.e. a subgenre). The primary genre might be something like Film (or Movie in the USA). The secondary genre for Film might be something like: Action, Comedy, Crime, Fantasy, Romance, Science...

Hey CyberSimian you nailed it! Looks like the secret is:- After EPG Collector has Run and provided the TVGuide.xml Open MediaPortal - TV Server Configuration "Force Import" on the Plugins/Xmltv/General dialogue, (ignore the status) Go to the Mappings dialogue and Load/Refresh and Save a Group - (It does not appear to matter which...
