Just one question according the lastest version of EPG Buddy: The newest vesion is 0.7.1.12 or 0.7.1.15? Still found only 0.7.1.12.
Thanks for that information. Just another question: When running EPG Buddy a file TVGuide_TVSpielfilm.xml will be created with ~65MB. In MP2 Server I should configure the XMLTV Plugin "Import files in new tvguide.lst". With this config there will be no file imported in MP" Server. Where is my fault?
Thanks and best regards, Olli

Hi.
You don't need "tvguide.lst" any longer as you can combine multiple XML Files as EPG Source. The tvguide.lst is a plain text file with full name(s) of the uses XML File(s), one per line. A workaround as MP1 TV Server only can handle a single file with the fix name "tvguide.xml" for EPG data. In old versions of EPG-Buddy the combine option was not ready, so you then must use the tvguide.lst for MP 1 TV Server. Since many years you can combine multiple XML Files from multiple sources into a single file and name it whatever you like (so "tvguide.xml" as needed for MP1 is possible for sure). This is configured in the "Settings" part of EPG-Buddy, right in the middle of the window.
If you want to have the given name you need to check "Combine XML files?", even if you only have one source. The separate XML files per EPG data source must have unique names, that's why they can not solely named "tvguide.xml". As soon as you have a second data source the resulting files must have different names (as you can imagine). So "combine" a single XML is the same as rename it to the wanted name. This way you can add a second, third,... data source without changing anything to the settings of EPG-Buddy or your TV Server Config... The resulting data is stored in the same file, no matter how many EPG sources you are using...
