Is there a recent procedure for USA users to import EPG data? I would like to use Schedules Direct like in MP1 but I haven't been able to get the XMLTV GUI to get the channels for my account. The EPG wiki instructions are outdated.
I have not used MP2, but my understanding is that because MP2 uses essentially the same TV Server as MP1, the procedures for importing the EPG into TV Server are the same too.Is there a recent procedure for USA users to import EPG data?

Thanks. The Schedules Direct plugin that works for MP1 does not work for MP2. The installer for that plugin only works for MP1. I haven't been able to make the other methods work - mainly tvguide.com since EPG Buddy says that import is not working.I have not used MP2, but my understanding is that because MP2 uses essentially the same TV Server as MP1, the procedures for importing the EPG into TV Server are the same too.
I have also not used Schedules Direct, but there is a TV-Server plugin specifically for Schedules Direct. The "catch" is that you must select "xml" format on the Schedules Direct web site, and not the newer "json" format. You configure the plugin in "TV Server Config". Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a Wiki page that describes this plugin (at least, I have not been able to find one).
