when i installed it a few days ago it did not import my old schedule.. i wouldnt have done it anyway much better to redo them in FTR, you will understand why when you start using it!

Yep, like I've said before you'll wonder why you stuck with the MP TV plugin for so long...

 

[mastyman]

unfortuantly some things in the FTR TV plugin that are not as polished as the MP Version, few bugs and change of behaviour like that i dont like

what is the skin you use? if its steamedMP there are some fixes for the FTR plugin that are not available in the installer / patch system yet

....what is the skin you use? ....

Not sure if you're asking me or dvbkiwi - I use BleazleWide + the latest Beta version (for testers) of 4TR My local version of BleazleWide is more polished than the current version available for downloading but that's the way it goes, it takes time to get a skin ready for release.

I use Black_Glass_Nova at the moment.

Another question on 4TR, Ive read that some people have had problems with the DVB-EPG export between media Portal and 4TR. Has this been sorted. I believe "TheKiwi" had thsi problem previously as well.

In the console, under administration, i had to change TV guide to DVB-EPG overwrites XMLTV, it was opposite by default, i kept getting gaps in my EPG until i changed that.
my EPG was only coming over the air (dvb-s)

Out of interest what things do you find aren't as polished?

Ive gone to the StreamedMP skin as well... and very impressed with their whole approach to maintaining upgrades and allowing configuration vie the editor etc

Ive posted some of it here, i have found a few more things since i did that inital post as have only been using FTR for a few days, i will add them to the thread. +1 the thread if you agree For The Record - View topic - New FTR User - Some small issues

For streamedMP, see this thread for some FTR fixes that havent yet made it to the latest download/patch you can install manually

Yea when I first used 4TR I coludnt get the EPG to populate. Sorry cant recall what the issue was and how it was resolved.

Im only on DVB-S and using the EPG Collector and DVB-S concurrently so:
* Mediaportal is only configured to grab EPG for the SBS Channels
* Drop the tvguide.xml from EPG Collector into the 4TR folder for all the Freeview channels
* 4TR picks up the XML file and immediately imports into 4TR
* Ive got the option of XMLTV overwrite DVB-EPG in the 4TR Settings

and it works really really well. The SBS Channels all appear OK in the 4TR guide.
