[QUOTE="luke16, post: 187821, member: 27336"] Someone asked me in a personal message how to get this working in media portal, so I figured I would post it for all to see: First, follow the directions from the site [url]http://zap2xml.110mb.com/[/url] to get a zap2it account and get the listings to show the 6 hour grid, and then download the windows binary from the site, then execute it so it extracts the file, and take this file, zap2xml.exe, and put it in the media portal xmltv folder, then go to start>programs>accessories>system tools>scheduled tasks, and add a new task for it using the "add a task" wizard, which should walk you through most of it. When it asks you for the program you want to run, click browse and go to file you put in the xmltv folder. Set it up to run however often you want your guide to be updated. After it is set up, right click the new task you just created, click properties, and make sure you are in the "task" tab, then where it says run, it will have the location of the directory that you selected, add the following to the very end of it, after the zap2xml.exe part: [B]-u [email]YOURZAP2ITLOGIN@EMAIL.COM[/email] -p YOURPASSWORD -o tvguide.xml[/B] , Replacing the capitalized letters with the appropriate login and password for zap2it, and when the schedule executes, your tvguide data should be populated. You may need to set time zone info in the media portal setup, and media portal may not instantly update the time zone info. I think that about covers it. [/QUOTE]
