[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1103685, member: 82144"] Hello again Mark Right, so the XMLTV file (tvguide.xml) doesn't have any EPG data in it. It looks like you're generating the tvguide.xml file with the TV Server WebEPG plugin. Can you confirm? Well, if you're referring to the WebEPG configuration process then you'd be right. Otherwise I have no idea what you mean. In any case, the channel names in the XMLTV file don't particularly matter. Those "guide channels" get linked to "TV Server channels" on the mapping tab in the XMLTV plugin. You can set the names of the TV Server channels to whatever you like. Well, yes - as part of TV Server setup you need to "import" your channels. In your first post you said you were able to watch any channel you wish. I took that to mean that you'd already got your channels. :S To be clear: before you can import any guide data, you need to have all your channels listed in the TV Channels (and Radio Channels) sections of TV Server configuration. Have you done that? Please can you be a little clearer about what you mean when you say "it". If I guess that you're referring to the TV Server WebEPG plugin then my suspicion is that you're running down a dead end. Aside from the IMDB source, I don't know any other way to use WebEPG to get EPG data for the USA or Canada. From what you've said it really doesn't sound like you're setting up the IMDB source... therefore I think you're probably on the wrong track. The instructions for setting up WebEPG with the IMDB source are in the wiki: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup/4_TV_Guide_Setup_%28EPG%29/WebEPG#IMDB_Grabber_%28US_only%29[/url] For the record, here are the options for getting EPG data in the US and Canada: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/setup-help.124506/#post-1061869[/url] Again, I'm a bit unsure what you're dealing with... but if you're working with the WebEPG plugin then the answer is "you don't". As above: my advice is to set up the IMDB source if you want to use WebEPG. There are instructions for this in the wiki (linked above). Regards, mm [/QUOTE]
