MP V0.2.2.0 Crashing EPG (1 Viewer)

[puppetj]

Hi, i hope this is the right place to post this, if not i hope you cant just help me anyway, in a bit of a rush.
I installed MP V0.2.2.0, and after trying the epg normal setup to get a tv guide in mp up, i gave up and tried the zap2it plugin, but after setting it up, running mp it crashes it, why??? What i'am i doing wrong?? i using the latest plugin and follow the directions, if this helps i'am using a hp zd7000, 1gb ram, 80gb hd & usb Tuner aka emuzed bali

Also in manual recording setup how do i stop it from giving me 24 hr (army time)?
Oh, and this notebook seems to have them time messed up on it, battery in mb maybe?
will this effect tv recording??? What the best way to fix this, other then battery replacement if i cant do that, or the windows internet time.....Thanks!

Basically, the plugin can not resolve 'datadirect.webservices.zap2it.com' name. Do you have the same problem? Is there a problem with Zap2it ?
Bye

Nothing that is related to time will work, if the pc time itself is not correct.

Yes the mb battery may well need to be replaced and have you got time settings set to update from internet.

 

[puppetj]

yes i use the internet time, to setup the correct time

FYI, I've found that the Internet time feature in XP is extremely unreliable. I rebuilt my system about a week ago and when I checked just now, the clock didn't update even though it saiid that it had successfully done so. I stopped and started the Windows Time Service and tried the Internet Time update again - this time it worked. I've seen this happen on many different systems.

By the way, my comparison to determine if the update worked is to compare my PC time to www.nist.gov.
