FYI: mc2xml not updating since a few days (22-09-2014) (1 Viewer)

No as it hasn't been said in the instruction.

As long as you don't flush the dns cache the new entries in hosts would not be used. Normal Windows behaviour.
Type

ipconfig /flushdns

in comand line prompt, hit enter and try again if mc2xml is downloading something...

Still no success...

Also tried google DNS but it seems to have no effect at all for me.
Could it be that you where just lucky to get a reply because I also get some data if I rerun my batch file multiple times.

Looks like you were right.

I decided to use
65.55.5.170 data.tvdownload.microsoft.com
in my hosts file and at least for now it's working.

Over here, it is working again.
Since 3 days, I' receiving data every day.
Adding the entries in the hosts file or using another DNS server didn't make any difference so I guess it's MS who has sorted out their problem.

Working here also.

I fixed it by switching in the task manager from mc2xml.exe to a command file and do error checking. That's much more reliable.

In TM change the .exe extention to mc2xml.cmd. Leave everything else as is.

In the settings tab, set "queue a new instance".

Now create mc2xml.cmd in the xmltv directory.

-----------------------------
@echo on
"C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\xmltv\mc2xml.exe" %1 %2 %3
if ERRORLEVEL 2 (echo Process failed
rem retrigger (make sure to set "queue a new instance")
schtasks /run /tn "mc2xml"
) else (
echo Success
)
rem pause
-----------------------------

Note that the script considers a successful download as well no new data a success and stops.
