[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1289581, member: 141969"] Your screen shot has been truncated on the right, and I don't recognise the skin that you are using, or the MP panel that you are showing. Recordings made using the MP TV Server use an XML file to contain the programme description. This description is obtained from the EPG (electronic programme guide). In the UK, a 7-day EPG is broadcast embedded within the TV signals, and MP can use this to obtain the programme description. In the USA, you have to download an EPG from the internet (in the form of an XML file usually), and then import that file into TV Server. The recommendation is to use Schedules Direct; it is a high-quality EPG, but it is not free (about $25 per year). If a recording has programme info, MP will display it when that programme has the focus in the list. If you previously used Windows Media Center (WMC), your WTV and DVR-MS files have the programme info embedded within the file. MP can play those files, but I don't think that MP can read the programme info. You would need to find a tool that can extract the programme info from the WTV/DVR-MS file and create the XML file that MP uses. If you are downloading video files from the internet and want programme info that describes their content, I cannot help you with that, as I don't use MP to download or stream video from the internet. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
