[QUOTE="Andrew H, post: 811534, member: 56239"] FWIW I had been using SchedulesDirect for a couple o' years and realized mc2xml would give me the same for free (assuming I could get it operational). I'm simply OTA so 10-15 channels is all I need. The SD uses a plugin and just runs whereas mc2xml needs a scheduled task to run a .bat file or simply the .exe -- read some of the guides and you'll see a .bat gives you better control. Now that MP has the xmlTV plugin it's actually quite simple to so and mm's assessment is right on! BTW, @mm - I wasn't sure if the Pro versions supported video support as they're more 'business' oriented. Wasn't there the case where certain OS loads [I]excluded[/I] video at one time? Maybe I'm mistaken but that is why I threw a flag to the Pro edition. And it was me who suggested using the preview because (assuming there's no codec issue) it avoids any handoff between TV-Server and MP (e.g. if you can't tune in Preview or Timeshift in Manual Control, then it ain't gonna happen inside MP) but you may not agree with my staunch position.
