[QUOTE="milhouse, post: 315105, member: 26653"] Let's start with the obvious things... 1) How is your Schedules Direct account set up? I assumed you added a line-up, selected your channels, etc. No line-up, no guide data. 2) I find it difficult sometimes to get the EPG data to match the configured channels. The easiest thing to do for first-time configuration is to start with NO channels in the TV configuration, and use the option in the Schedules Direct plugin to automatically add channels for you. Then they will always match. 3) What do you find in your log? E.g. in my TV server log, I see things like this: [CODE]2008-10-14 11:24:48.859375 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Starting EPG refresh job on thread #4 2008-10-14 11:24:48.859375 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: UTC time is 10/14/2008 4:24:48 PM, local time is 10/14/2008 11:24:48 AM (DST is True) 2008-10-14 11:24:48.875000 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Rename Existing Channels is set to: False, with Template: {number} {callsign}. 2008-10-14 11:24:48.906250 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Add New Digital Channels is set to: True, with External Input: Tuner. 2008-10-14 11:24:48.921875 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Add New Digital Channels Country is set to: United States. 2008-10-14 11:24:48.921875 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Add New Analog Channels is set to: True, with External Input: Tuner. 2008-10-14 11:24:48.921875 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Channel Sorting is set to: True. 2008-10-14 11:24:48.921875 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Allow Channel Matching without Frequency is set to: False. 2008-10-14 11:24:48.937500 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Delete Channels with No EPG Mapping is set to: False. 2008-10-14 11:24:51.531250 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Requesting 24 hours of program listings from [10/14/2008 11:24:51 AM] to [10/15/2008 11:24:51 AM] 2008-10-14 11:24:55.250000 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Processing lineup Charter Communications Suburban NW [id=MN53452:- type=Cable postcode=55388] 2008-10-14 11:24:55.265625 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Channel AMC was found as 57 AMC in EPG mapping database 2008-10-14 11:24:55.343750 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Updated channel 57 AMC [id=1 xmlid=10021.57.schedulesdirect.org] 2008-10-14 11:24:55.359375 [SchedulesDirect EPG Client]: Channel A & E Network was found as 31 AETV in EPG mapping database[/CODE] I will say that Schedules Direct is the easiest way to get guide data in the US - even if it costs a few bucks a year. The XML scrapers break at inopportune moments. Let me know what you find above and I'll try to help out more. Milhouse [/QUOTE]
