So.. not so much a support request, as this is a "how do I get stared" ?
I can watch TV on the TvServer, and on the client.. videos, music, pics, all that good stuff works quite well. I am getting stumped when it comes to EPG.
I have signed up for a trail with Schedules Direct - Account is in good standings so far..
Followed the destructions at https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...mexico-epg-plugin-updated-10-01-2007-a-26951/ for using SD with MP .. downloaded v1.1 (not A) of the plugin. Given the age of the post, I did not follow some of the troubleshooting directions (some were pertaining to emptying tables in the DB, etc..).
I used the wrong Postal Code when I signed up (I was at work when I did it - brain fart). I figured that out this evening, and added the correct postal code for the lineup.
But here's where I start to have some problems, and there's a good chance its because I have no idea what I'm doing
EPG doesn't seem to load. I cleared the channel listing, and had my card re-scan.. and 20 minutes later, there's nothing on the guide. I can't seem to find any logs to see what EPG is doing, if SD is having problems, or.. anything. It's a bit bizzare.
Channel names - do I need to populate the channel names manually? If so, is there a way to retain them each time you wipe the listing? Or is this something EPG will do, once it comes to life?
I realise that the way an EPG gets populated is different from plugin to plugin... so any help specific to SD using Analogue cable in Canada would be fantastic.
Unrelated - how come when I type in "35" on my keyboard, the TV changes to channel "35 (36)" and actually tunes to channel 36?
Thanks in advance!
