Maybe try and follow the tutorial/comments --><a href="http://www.hack7mc.com/2009/08/using-mc2xml-to-download-guide-data-for-third-party-apps.html" target="_blank">here</a><--.Click start, type cmd in the search box, hit enter.They're red because the channels aren't linked to guide info. They are green when the mapping is set up.That is because the XMLTV file that you imported (if you did actually import one) doesn't have any channel definitions. I'm inclined to think you didn't manage to import an XMLTV file. Note that you can view the contents of an xml file in any text editor (notepad, wordpad etc.).There is a ton of info about the XMLTV plugin settings --><a href="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/13_Plugins/XmlTv" target="_blank">here</a><--, but no point in getting there until you have a tvguide.xml file.It can be anywhere you like, as long as you put the xmltv.dtd file in the same folder. The DTD file is in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\xmltv. Note that is a hidden folder so the simplest thing is probably to search c:\ for xmltv.dtd with searching of hidden files and folders enabled. Failing that, you can download the latest one from --><a href="http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XMLTVFormat" target="_blank">here</a><--. When I say "anywhere you like", that is part of the dos box thing you mentioned. One of the command line parameters for mc2xml is the place where it should put the tvguide.xml file that it generates. So, what you want to do is:1. Create a folder or choose a place where you want the tvguide.xml file to live.2. Copy/download the xmltv.dtd file into that folder.3. Run mc2xml and configure all your settings.4. Run mc2xml again from the dox box and use the command line parameters to specify your folder with the xmltv.dtd file in it. You'll use the cd command to change directory to the location where the mc2xml.exe file is (example: cd "c:\Program Files\mc2xml"), and then mc2xml.exe -o "c:\My XMLTV output folder\tvguide.xml" to run mc2xml and generate the tvguide.xml.5. Open TV Server configuration.6. Set the tvguide.xml location.7. Manually import.8. Go to the mappings tab and set up/fix and save the mappings (the drop down list should not be empty if you've done things correctly).9. Import again to get programs imported in the guide. Note that TV Server config will freeze while it is importing. Give it 3-5 minutes and then check the guide in MP - all being well you should have a nice full guide. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Usually you'd use either use webepg *or* mc2xml to generate your tvguide.xml file. Both could be used if necessary, but I recommend getting mc2xml working to start with.Sorry I don't know what you mean but I guess this refers to webepg. mc2xml does *not* require webepg. Both mc2xml and webepg are ways to get a tvguide.xml file that you can import with the XMLTV plugin.mm</blockquote>
