    Sorry there is currently no documents for this feature. A few grabbers exist. One is for GB and others I cannot remember (AU?). There is also about one where some one made some changes.

    I'm very rushed for time, but here is some info:

    From GB grabber:
    <Xml xpath="//programme" channel="">
    <Fields>
    <Field name="#START" xmlname="start" />
    <Field name="#END" xmlname="end" />
    <Field name="#TITLE" xmlname="title" />
    <Field name="#SUBTITLE" xmlname="subtitle" />
    <Field name="#DESCRIPTION" xmlname="desc" />
    <Field name="#GENRE" xmlname="type" />
    </Fields>
    </Xml>


    If channel="<channel>" is given then:

    <xpath> + [@<channel>=<channel id>]

    if channel ="" like here then only <xpath> is used. You can find info about Xpaths with google.

    How does the Timezone flag work? What input is it looking for? I went through the source code and all I saw was "America/New_York."

    I agree about the dash instead of colon on the LIVE thing. I did a little change to get the current program, just removed the D from the tags. Not that important, so I dont upload any new file. A little sad about the end time, but nothing to do about it.

    Sorry, it's my fault -- I did not notice that you are using MP2. :( MP1 has a separate configuration utility, similar to "TV Server Config". I have tried MP2 only a couple of times, and have never used it seriously. I don't know what MP2 supports with regard to adjusting audio delay, but I do know that all of the adjustments of...
