[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1283004, member: 141969"] From discussions in another thread, it has become apparent that there is a "gotcha" with regard to the "Schedules Direct" plugin for "TV Server". :eek: Schedules Direct provide EPG data in the following formats: [LIST] [*]JSON format: this is available for all countries that Schedules Direct support. [*]XML format: this is available only for the USA and Canada. [/LIST] The "gotcha" is that the TV Server "Schedules Direct" plugin understands only XML format, and hence is usable only by users in the USA and Canada. :( In addition, when you setup your Schedules Direct configuration on the SD web site, you must remember to select "XML format". If you accept the default, that will be JSON format, and you will spend endless hours wondering why TV Server cannot obtain the EPG. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
