[QUOTE="newbie84095, post: 617735, member: 104312"] Ok, so I named the channels in TV-Server Config under TV Channels > Channels and made sure they were selected there. But when they are brought in via WebEPG-Conf, the names I gave them show up only in the EPG Name column but not in the Channel Name column as your guide shows. When I click on Auto Map in WebEPG-Conf, nothing happens. And when I select the "..." button under Mapping Details in WebEPG-Conf and navigate to the [url=http://www.imdb.com]The Internet Movie Database (IMDb)[/url] grabber and select it for a given channel, nothing happens there either...the grabber does not get mapped. I tried that for several channels with the same result. Yes I did...read on Not really. That's the reason I didn't answer this question when you asked it the first time. I could point out every thing that tripped me up along the way, beginning with the fact that the guide clearly states that you need to download a WebEPG "that works" when in fact you don't. I asked you "then what do you suggest I download instead?" and you replied that no download is necessary. What you failed to tell me is that the reason no download is necessary is that the WebEPG-conf that is needed from the download is already in the Team MP directory (I was somehow just supposed to know that). From there I could point out the there is no mention in your guide that the channels need to be "named" as you say. And there's no mention of the fact that the naming is done back in TV Server config rather than in WebEPG-conf. Keep in mind that I was reading your guide and a couple of others at the same time, all of which had points of contradiction with one another. I didn't know which one to believe; and not one of them was complete and/or completely accurate. And now after you and I spent several days working on this I'm finding out that apparently the two US grabbers don't work. :wtf: And I could go on from there. I didn't see any value in saying any of this because it doesn't get me any further toward getting this to work and risks upsetting you or causing you to think I'm an idiot. The fact is, anytime someone has done something like this 100 times typically doesn't understand when someone else doing it for the first time doesn't understand--particularly when the explanation is somewhat inaccurate...which causes more confusion. And it still isn't working for me. So, if I haven't totally pissed you off, can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong now? And, by the way, THANKS for your help so far. [/QUOTE]
