[QUOTE="bilkusg, post: 1274034, member: 111902"] Thanks. It's all working as far as building goes. BTW, it's probably worth warning people not to build the TVLibrary in debug mode, because a) It fails because the test project has a missing reference b) It doesn't put the dlls in the directory from which the nuget script retrieves them. This is probably something I should have known, but I didn't and it took me a while to work out why my nuget package wouldn't work with compiling MP2 against it. Anyway, what I've done, and works for me, is modified the schedules.cs and epgdbuptdater to deal with the fact that the UK's OTA EPG is a pile of rubbish. Some programs have a title starting New: which means they aren't recorded when expected. Information about seasons and episode numbers are in different places for different programs even on the same channel etc etc. So what I did was write a regex based preprocessor which munges the EPG before populating the database. It's a definite improvement in my situation, and I suspect would be useful for other UK users, but it's clearly not something which should be a default behaviour. So what I'm trying to work out now is whether these changes could be turned into a plugin, even though the functions I override aren't as far as I can tell, functions for which plugin hooks exist.
