[QUOTE="thisisaric, post: 203012, member: 59943"] Hi everybody! I'm new here(first post) along with just purchasing my first tvcard thursday. Looks like the -g argument in zap2xml uses gmt when retrieving the data but not when outputting it? Not sure what the point of that is, maybe a glitch? Anyhow it still adds the time zone adjustment for the xml file it outputs. Since mediaportal is expecting gmt time, a simple solution is to just do the opposite of the time zone adjustment. Make sense? Example: Pacific Standard Time is GMT -8 hours, the opposite would be to add 8 hours. Settings: MP Config>Telev>Program Guide>General Tab <Checked> Use time zone info from XMLTV Compensate time zone with: <opposite of time zone(example: 8.0)> hours zap2xml.exe arguments: -u <username> -p <password> -o tvguide.xml Read a lot of people complaining about having to wait for their guide to slooooowly populate.... I experienced this to. Use the tvguidescheduler.exe MP Config>Telev>Program Guide>Scheduler Tab Grabber: TVguide.xml File (drop down list) Then create a scheduled task or manually do it by clicking "Run grabber" Advanced eh?
