[QUOTE="breese, post: 1210467, member: 114299"] After some very extensive testing, I have found EPG-Buddy to work extremely well so long as everything is done exactly right. There are some things that differ from zap2xml that can catch people off guard. zap2xml tvguide.xml imports extremely well were timezone settings are concerned that EPG-Buddy does not. When both have the correct timezone info entered into their configurations and or you have setup your account properly on tvguide.com, the xmltv plugin reads the correct timezone info for each Except for EPG-Buddy. With EPG-Buddy you must set the xmltv Time Compression to very exact settings. The Time Compression setting when un-configured gives the impression that Single Digit Entries are acceptable. The reality is, each of the boxes must be Exact to the timezone info for the users location. As you can see in my settings (Red area), it is configured for -06 and 00. -6 and 0 does Not Work. [ATTACH]186754[/ATTACH] Also, the message below the Time Compression (Blue area) has Nothing to do with the Time Compression setting. At first glance when trying to understand the Time Compression, this Information makes it seem the boxes are for changing the amount of time the system will query for changes in the TvGuide.xml Configuring WebGrab+Plus for a new list of channels (it does need to be done now and again) can also be very confusing. This is why I recommended possible changes to EPG-Buddy and the required steps to properly get the results needed.... (Post #11 of this thread). One thing that eludes me is that WebGrab+Plus will report Duplicate channels and refuse to run without correcting them. EPG-Buddy imports the Channel list as found, there-by duplicating channels and allowing channel lists with a channel not containing a Sub-channel number. Duplicate Channel samples: <channel update="i" site="tvguide.com" site_id="(srvID20419)Number:2.1,SourceId:11751" xmltv_id="WBBM HDTV">WBBM HDTV</channel> <channel update="i" site="tvguide.com" site_id="(srvID20419)Number:2.11,SourceId:64661" xmltv_id="WBBM HDTV">WBBM HDTV</channel> Channel missing Sub-channel number sample: <channel update="i" site="tvguide.com" site_id="(srvID20419)Number:2.11,SourceId:64661" xmltv_id="WBBM HDTV">WBBM HDTV</channel> [/QUOTE]
