if it downloads no programs at all then it won't write the xml file. If it does download some programs then it will write the programs it has downloaded to the xml file

as I queried before - it sounds like xmltv is not needed in mp1.1 if you write data to tv server database - I can't see any advantage in using xmltv ....

Radiotimes listings are not available - Just changed back from digiguide and there's nothing. back to digiguide again and getting data. I'd love to know what to change to get radiotimes, as digiguide has inaccurate data sometimes

    I think it was broken (just the usage message, no program data), for a while last night (I tried the test link around 10:00pm UK time), but it seems to be back again now...

    Alan Birtles' xmltv gui is now working for radiotimes. Or it works during the periods when the radiotimes website is working. It has been running successfully for me for the last few days.

    Working here as well now, forgot I had disabled it in task scheduler when this started, oops, no wonder I was only getting 7 days.

    I wonder if the data is only available at certain times? Has BBC's homepage outage any bearing on this?

    Yes, I saw that. Was beyond my understanding, however. Didn't see how to set that up. I'm a relative neophyte, who's done hardly any command-line coding. To be more specific: I don't see, under either "Grabbing Listings" or in the "First use example," where it is designated just where on one's C drive the tv.xml file is...

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

    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...

    Many many years ago, I opened a bug report after I got that same message but I never got a reply. The reason was I had unchecked the Windows Media Player item in Windows 10 Control Panel > Program and Features > Turn Windows features on or off as I didn't need it, without thinking that it was needed by MediaPortal. I kept the "Media...
