[QUOTE="luci5r, post: 796949, member: 113478"] I've got a strange EPG grabbing issue (or rather scheduling issue!) ... and I'm posting it in this thread cause some of us were discussing this a while back when I was setting everything up in this thread. I use mc2xml for grabbing EPG data. I tried to schedule the mc2xml.exe program to run on a schedule using the Windows Task Scheduler which comes with Windows 7. The strange thing is - whenever the Task Scheduler launches the mc2xml.exe ... the exe asks for the parameters (like Postal Code, Zip Code, etc) to be entered!! However - If I simply click on & launch the mc2xml.exe ... it never asks me those parameters - it automatically takes the ones I specified the first time and runs the program, creating the correct xmltv.xml file. I have no clue why it is that when Task Scheduler launches the same mc2xml.exe, the exe asks for the parameters. Because it asks for those parameters and human intervention is needed, the whole point of "automation" fails!! Do you guys have another way of automating the creation of tvguide.xml using mc2xml which could potentially be set to run automatically at a pre-defined time WITHOUT human intervention?? Thanks!!
