Hi all,
I've been having trouble for a while with the IceTV EPG grabber.
I had it running as a scheduled task in windows to wake my HTPC and download the guide data on a daily basis. Problem is, it didn't download regularly (it's on a wireless connection to my router) and I would have to close Media Portal and run the task manually.
That wasn't too much of an issue, but it was a pain.
I think I may have found a solution (at least for my case).
I moved the grabber batch file to my startup folder and created a new scheduled task which will wake the PC and run a restart (if it isn't already running).
So far, it seems to work if the grabber runs at startup. I never worked out why it wouldn't run properly as a scheduled task.
The contents of the restart batch file is simply:
shutdown -r -f
Hope others can use it.
Thanks to the Media Portal devs for a great app!
