Importing guide form internet conected PC a nonconected HTPC (1 Viewer)

[jvargas]

I got a question, my HTPC is not conected to the internet, so is there anyway to setup the TV Guide that I can download it from the internet every week on my laptop and then transfer it over to my HTPC and import it into MP?
I know nothing about guides so any help would be appreciated.
BTW I am in the US.
Thanks

Get hold of an application that downloads tv-guide data to a xmltv-formatted file TVGuide.xml

dunno what's working in the us. Then setup MP to use TVGuide.xml from ..../Team mediaportal/mediaportal/xmltv.

just copy the file into that directory every week or so, and MP does the rest. Be sure to have guide-data for at least one week...

Did that answer it?

Maybe see if you could convince bradsjm to create a .exe version of his US/Canadian/Mexico EPG Zap2it Plugin?

It is a VERY nice plugin!

to manually update EPG

Hi
Under this set up, Once I point my XML file in the configuration, How do I force MedaiPortal to pick up a new listing file after I generate it every time?. How does MediaPortal know when to pick up the new file? At a restart ?

it should get it itself normally. open context menue in EPG and to import the data.

To force MP to comletly reimport the TvGuide.xml go to configuration -> television --> program guide and select "remove all rogramms from TV database.

Hi All

Now i'm sure if there is a updated xmltvguide file found on going into TV, it is automatically loaded.
Used to be on entering epg but it has been changed, took a couple of minutes to import a full 14 day file but now on a clean install, when i open the epg it all seems to be there, done and dusted, just the way it should be.
