[QUOTE="Mashenden, post: 551962, member: 17871"] [b] [u] [UPDATE] - See newer post below or at [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/webepg-136/installing-webepg-mp-1-0-2-ftr-1-4-0-1-a-75197/#post566435[/url][/u][/b][u][/u] All I wanted for Christmas was to understand how to install WebEPG in MP 1.0.2 & FTR 1.4.0.1 :) My goal is to document how to do it. If someone knows of a good step-by-step instruction document, please let me know but to date I have not found one. I found the following which I understand applies to 1.0.0: [url=http://mediaportal.wikispaces.com/Setting+up+WebEPG]mediaportal - Setting up WebEPG[/url] and the following which applies to 1.1.0 beta: [url=http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/MediaPortalSetup_WebEPG]MediaPortalSetup_WebEPG - MediaPortal Manual Documentation[/url] But nothing that seemed to work for 1.0.2 without notable confusion (although the one for 1.0.0 was the most relevant). Here is how I did it. If you find anything that is incorrect or confusing, please let me know. To install WebEPG when using MP 1.0.2 (1.1.0 beta and above has WebEPG integrated): 1. 1. Unzip file "WebEPG_MP_1_0_0_0_Release.zip” reference on webpage [url]http://mediaportal.wikispaces.com/Setting+up+WebEPG[/url] into C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\ which replaces old WebEPG.exe and WebEPG.dll files with new ones. Someone mentioned that the files that come with MP 1.0.2 have been corrected, but my experience is that they did not work without using the ones noted above. 2. Create your Grabber file • I used the approach well described by marcsulf in; [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/installation-configuration-support-53/setup-webepg-ota-hd-usa-50377/#post393174[/url] • I called mine RichmondVA.xml, and saved it in: C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\WebEPG\grabbers\US (or whatever country is correct for you). I suggest saving this file somewhere else as a back-up as well since this can be a pain to get right and not worth losing. 3. Run WebEPG-conf.exe • Set “Global Settings” - “Grab Days” to 14. • Set “Import Channel Data” to TV Server then click on the Import button, and the Channel Mapping box should fill up with your channels. • Set “Auto Mapping” - “Country” to United States (or whatever country is correct for you) then click on the Auto Map button, which should then associate which data website the channel data should be achieved from. This points WebEPG Config to use RichmondVA.xml to create WebEPG.xml • Select “Save” and exit. 4. Run C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\WebEPG.exe • This program creates a temp file “TVguide-writing.xml” in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\xmltv\ • After 5 minutes or so when it is done processing, it will rename the file TVGuide.xml • Copy TVGuide.xml and xmltv.dtd from: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\xmltv to: C:\Program Files\For The Record\Services\XMLTV at which point FTR will automatically start processing it. When it is done it will move it to the Imported folder (or a Rejected folder if not successful). • Check in the Log within FTR Management Console to verify the TVGuide.xml file was processed. 5. Start 'TV Server Configuration' • Make sure the XmlTv plugin box is checked. • Go to plugin "XmlTv" and select the folder with above generated Tvguide.xml C:\Program Files\For The Record\Services\XMLTV\Imported\ • Go to tab 'mappings' • Select your 'Group' • Press 'load/refresh' • In the list box you now get your 'channels' with drop down boxes to select the belonging description from the at (6) generated TVguide.xml • When finished selecting all channels press 'Save' • Verify the correct selections by pressing 'load/refresh' again (all boxes should now be white) • Go back to the 'settings' tab & press 'import': you should see your number of channels and a lot of programs importing (after a few seconds) • Close 'TV Server Configuration' 6. Start MP and verify the Guide is populated as expected. [/QUOTE]
