    You can. You will have to make a batch file first so it will rename the file output file as tvguide.xml
    To do this you will need to make a text file, save it and rename it .bat
    Here is an example .bat file:
    ---------
    c:
    cd "C:\Program Files\Media Portal Stuff\mc2xml"
    mc2xml -o tvguide.xml
    -------
    Obviously you will need to change the directory where your mc2xml is but that about it. the "-o" tells mc2xml.exe to output at the different file name. You can do this manually when you need to or set up widows task scheduler to do this everyday or 2 days or weekly etc. Hope this helps.

    Thanks... So annoying. I didn't notice it had stopped working and missed some recordings. The version number still seems to be 1.7.2. Hard to tell that the file has been updated. Sigh. I stream a lot of it now anyway. Good question on mc2xml.exe & schedulesdirect. I donated many, many moons ago for schedulesdirect support. I...
