[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1288781, member: 141969"] The way that [USER=79284]@wjw[/USER] triggers the download of the EPG is one way of doing that, but I think that PowerScheduler would be the "normal" way of downloading the EPG. On the PowerScheduler "EPG" tab, you should select every day of the week to cause the EPG to be downloaded every day. If you want to download the EPG less frequently, then select the specific days of the week when you want the download to occur. (When I used WMC, I downloaded the two-week Microsoft EPG only once per week.) Also specify the time when you want PowerScheduler to wake the HTPC and initiate the download. Obviously your internet connection must be available at that time. (I mention this because I keep my internet connection switched off except when I am actually using it.) Click "Apply". To perform an immediate download, on the "Advanced Options" tab of the Schedules Direct plugin, select [b]Force full guide update on next TVService startup[/b] (halfway down the panel). Now go to "Manual Control" (left side menu) and click the "Stop TV Service" button. Wait 10-20 seconds until the text on the button changes to "Start TV Service". Click the button again to start the service, and the EPG download should commence. I don't know what logging the plugin generates. However, you may get some info if you change the log level for TV Server to DEBUG; you do that in the "General " section (left side menu). The logging info (if any) will be placed in the TV Server log file, not in the MP client log file. You can close "TV Server Config" whenever you like -- you don't need to keep it open until the EPG download finishes. The Schedules Direct plugin has to understand the format of the data downloaded from Schedules Direct. If the XML form and JSON form are both selected, you [i]might[/i] get both present in the downloaded data, which would probably cause the EPG collection to fail. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
