[QUOTE="RonD, post: 869977, member: 117536"] [COLOR=#ff0000][B]The updated version of the US www_imdb_com.xml grabber file is included with MediaPortal 1.7.0 and later and you do NOT need to download a new grabber file.[/B][/COLOR] You still need to customize the Channel IDs for you local city and set your zip code as described MediaPortal wiki WebEPG setup guide. See the following link. [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup/4_TV_Guide_Setup_(EPG)/WebEPG[/url] If you are using an earlier version of MediaPortal, you still need to download the grabber file in this message. ******************************* Attached is a new www_imdb_com.xml grabber file based on the current (Jan 2008) US imdb_com file, With this grabber you do not need to set a "tv_prov". This grabber works for my stations and I see StartTime, Title, SubTitle, Description in the MediaPortal TV Guide. An example of the tvguide.xml output is shown below. The www_imdb_com grabber does not have support for Genres. <programme start="20120525233000 -0700" channel="KTVU-HD-KTVU-HD"> <title>How I Met Your Mother</title> <sub-title>The Goat</sub-title> <desc>When Barney breaks the ``bro code,'' he struggles with the consequences of his actions.</desc> </programme> The newest new www_imdb_com_Nov2012.xml grabber file fixes a timezone and daylight savings bug. I have 2 wiki guides with help for setting up US EPG. [B]US EPG setup using WebEPG and imdb.com[/B], use this if you are trying to setup WebEPG with this grabber file [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/User:rond/US_EPG_setup_using_WebEPG_and_imdb.com[/url] [B]US EPG setup using XmlTv and mc2xml[/B], use this if you want to use mc2xml and xmltv. [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/User:rond/US_EPG_Setup_using_XmlTv_and_mc2xml[/url] The "imdb_com_readme.txt" is the original text instructions for setting up the original May2012 version of the grabber file. If you are aleady use the May2012 grabber file, copy your file to a safe place, download the new Nov2012 grabber file and replace your current grabber file. You can copy/paste your TV Channel information from your saved file to the new grabber, and replace ZIPCODE with your local zipcode. You also need to start the TV Server Configuration program, redo the channel mapping, and save the new mappings. You should double check that you are using the correct grabber file. For debug you can do the following to flush the old EPG info from the TV Guide database to make sure you are seeing the new grabber data. "TV Server Configuration -> manual control" press "Refresh DVB EPG" to flush the current TV Guide EPG info before doing "Grab now!" change info: Nov 4, 2012: uploaded new www_imdb_com_Nov2012.xml grabber file with fixes for timezone and daylight savings bug. July 11 2012: I made a wiki page with setup info for WebEPG and the new grabber file, link posted below. [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/User:rond/US_EPG_setup_using_WebEPG_and_imdb.com[/url] May 31 2012: uploaded a new imdb_com_readme.txt file with editorial changes to help answer some questions from this thread.
