Hi,

is it possible to fill up "program gaps"? I mean gaps which occur if the channel has no program or the page where the program is grabbed from doesn't list it.

hi
i did it by simply adding empty channels to the list calling them empty or by their providers name - like dvdbox and such, also if you use the group option - you just group all the channels you want and mp will zap only thru those channels also showing the epg only for the channels in the group - very usefull - a group for me, a group for my wife and so on.... :)

I think you misunderstood me. I'm looking for a solution for a case like this:
WebEPG grabs the program for e.g. "Eurosport" fine but on the grabbing source is no program information for the period from e.g. 1am to 5am. For this time I'd like to have something like in TVxb filling it with e.g. "No program available"...

    There is a utility program around here that solves this issue.
    I don't have the link at hand (I'm in office ;-) . Try to search in the WEPEPG forum.

    Regards

    I tried it and have to say it doesn't fit my needs... It might be good (although I don't like how the entries are created...) for channels without program at all but that's not what I was looking for.

    James: Don't you have a solution for this?

    Looks like there's some kind of error regarding translations that I can't pinpoint about Subcentral. You'll find it in the log file I attached to my previous message.

    Thank you for confirming that U&W works for you. I ended up deleting U&W and rescanning for channels. That fixed the issue.

    Update: Problem solved! The electronic program guides (tvguide.xml) have been successfully transferred to MediaPortal. The issue stemmed from the corruption of one or both of the mc2xml.dat and/or mc2xml.exe files, for an unknown reason. Consequently, even though the tvguide.xml file appeared to be updated, its content kept being an...

    you are right.. I spotted why it's not working. For what ever reason, the 3x recently added / watched for TV series, etc was killing it.. I've removed it for now and it's started working again. I'll have to dig a little deeper as to why it's happened all of a sudden.
