[QUOTE="mark069, post: 707834, member: 110538"] I am having problems configuring mc2xl correctly. Followed the directions at the bottom of this message. It never created tvguide.xml but it did create a file called xmltv.xml and a file called mc2xml.dat. When I run TV Server Configuration, I can see the xmltv plugin box checked but I'm not sure how to "run" this plugin in order to see the mappings tab. Clicking on the xmltv plugin does nothing.... What did I do wrong? How would I use mc2xml with MediaPortal? * 1. Create a folder for the EPG data (example: c:\mc2xml) and put the mc2xml.exe binary and a copy of xmltv.dtd in that folder (use a GUI file manager or command line) 2. Optionally create an "mc2xml.chl" file listing the channels you want included in your EPG (see above for file format) (make sure that notepad doesn't append a ".txt" extension to this filename) 3. MediaPortal wants the produced .xml file to be called "tvguide.xml", so you must open a DOS box, change to the EPG data directory and specify the output filename on the mc2xml command line. On the first run of mc2xml on Windows it will ask you to input your Postal/Zip code (ie: "10000"), Country Code (ie: "us"). If not using windows, you must specify this info on the command line. mc2xml will then ask you to select a lineup number. mc2xml will save this selection to mc2xml.dat and create a tvguide.xml file in this folder. (Delete mc2xml.dat if you selected the wrong lineup, and try again) * md "C:\mc2xml" * cd "C:\mc2xml" * copy "C:\downloads\mc2xml.exe" "C:\mc2xml" * copy "C:\downloads\xmltv.dtd" "C:\mc2xml" * notepad "C:\mc2xml\mc2xml.chl" * mc2xml -c us -g 10000 -o tvguide.xml 4. Start MediaPortal's "TVserver configuration" 5. Go to plugin "XmlTv" (make sure XmlTv plugin box is checked) and select the folder with the newly generated tvguide.xml (example: c:\mc2xml) 6. Go to Tab "Mappings" [/QUOTE]
