[QUOTE="kthxbi, post: 303921, member: 82490"] [b]screenshot in helptext is misleading[/b] It may help some users who are reporting EPG problems to know the screenshot depicted in the help-text can be mis-leading. On my XP installation, I was trying to use the directory as the EPG help-guide ([url=https://www.team-mediaportal.com/manual/TV-Server/Configuration/Plugins/XmlTv]TV-Server/Configuration/Plugins/XmlTv - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation[/url]) C:\program files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\xmltv As it turns out, I should have been pointing to the directory of C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\xmltv (will be hidden for some) Not running Vista atm, but I would guess that they would be using a different directory again. (?) One helpful poster suggested the OP copy the XMLTV.DTD file to the program files directory, which I had no luck with at all and reverted to using the 2nd folder above. (source: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/installation-configuration-support-53/no-xmltv-dtd-file-45032/[/url]) If anybody can point me towards the latest WebEPG guide, it'd be a kthxbi for you. is it the wiki one? its not current for RC2? Reading through the forums, seems to be a lot of the same mis-understandings is all. BTW - Maybe worth adding a tip if it hasn't already been done ( I didn't find it ) ... a simple how-to for checking the tvguide.xml data and/or WebEPG logs to ensure WebEPG is doing ok... theres no notification as we all know. All in all, the WebEPG program DOES work! So I check the logs (again c:\doc&sets as above) and read through my tvguide.xml ... determining WebEPG is actually doing its job on command... but the RC2 WebEPG Grabber data for AUSTRALIA is out of date for the "minnie.tuhs.org" listing. It's moved domains (source: [url=http://www.oztivo.net/twiki/bin/view]WebHome < Main < TWiki[/url]) So my next step, if anybody can give guidance, will be finalising the EPG and possibly looking at customizing my grabber for AUS. Hopefully the alternate listing, of which there is only 1, works :D (personal gripe - How come ABC can deliver its TvGuide directly and our other primary tv networks don't appear too?) EDIT: Just found this xmltv utility which seems to do the trick ... may be useful for some "http://forum.epgstream.net/viewforum.php?f=56". Any aussies got their EPG flowing, let me know your setup! ciao PROPS and SHOUT OUTS :P to the mad crew who work on this open-source project. After being bitterly disappointed with the LeadTek WinFast PVR2 package, I'm happily tweaking away this awesome piece of kit. [/QUOTE]
