[QUOTE="SquonkSC, post: 66626, member: 23125"] Hi All, I am new to this forum, and I don't know if what I am about to write is already known to everybody, if that's the case I appologise. But! If not, I'm glad I could help. Downloading xmltv data can take a long time, especially when you use the parameter --slow. The xmltv.exe does not only download the info, it has to sort and clean the data. This does not only put strain on your CPU and internet bandwith, it also puts a lot of strain on the websites that contain the data. With Mediaportal and others becoming ever more popular, these websites will get more and more stressed and they will for sure take action to stop this from happening. So I thought to myself, why are we all doing the same thing while we could let one do the sorting and cleaning and the rest of us just download the sorted data? Well, it appears I wasn't the first to come up with this idea. on [url]http://xmltv.assies.info/[/url] you can find the xmltv files for 3 days already cleaned and sorted. Only problem is how to combine these to one tvguide.xml. Well, someone has fixed that too I stumbled upon this site [url]http://members.home.nl/robertprins/[/url] There you can download a vbs script that does the trick. Even more so it can combine any xmltv files to one tvguide. If you read the story on this guys website, and follow the instructions carefully, you'll find that it's a piece of cake. From now on, downloading and updating the epg only takes a few seconds. Fortunately for Dutch, but unfortunately for others, the whole site and readme's are in Dutch. With some modifications to the files,this script can also work for other countries. If people are interested, I will contact the guy and ask him if it's ok for me to write translations, I can write in English, German, Dutch and Portuguese, the rest will be up to other people. Hope this was helpful. Greetz, SquonkSC [/QUOTE]
