[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1244854, member: 109222"] Hi. The Configuration program (setuptv.exe) is to configure the TV engine. You may be more familiar in call the TV engine "TV Server "as in MP1, but that not really is correct when it comes to MP2 as it is no stand alone server but running inside the MP2 server. The XMLTV plugin finally is an addon to the TV engine that is delivered and installed together with the TV engine. That's why you find it in the "Plugins-" Section of the configuration app... This plugin imports the EPG data in an standardized format named XMLTV and maps the data from this XMLTV file to the used channels.. Every (or nearly every) TV App is able to import data in this XMLTV format. You can use the data downloaded by EPG-Buddy in XMLTV format not only in MediaPortal but also in e.g. TVHeadend, JRiver, NextPVR, ArgusTV, DVB-Viewer,....
