[QUOTE="Khurram, post: 365005, member: 74579"] After a lot of troubleshooting, I have found that the channel id attribute from WebEPG_Conf.xml file (the settings file generated by WebEPG_Conf.exe) should match the "externalId" column in the "channel" table in the database. Once this is the case, all mappings in both xmltv and 4TR are automatically generated correctly. In both cases, you dont have to do the mappings manually. [B]In TVServer config, you do have to click the Save button on the Mappings tab after importing the guide[/B]. I have created a little access database which links to the MP database and some VBA code to make sure WebEPG_Conf.xml file and "externalId" settings are in sync and I am happy :) Edit: One thing which might not be readily apparent for the xmltv plugin is that anytime you have program info for a channel which wasnt there before, you have to refresh the mappings and save them (both on the second tab).
