Hi, chemelli,

I went to HTPC Italia V.2 and didn’t find that EPGDownloader. I did see a grabber-it. Is that what you meant?

Thank you in advance.

P.S: I’m in Spain and since I like very much Italy I watch Italian TV from Hotbird and Astra (Rai 1, 2, 3, Retequattro, Italia 1 and Canale 5) but I can’t get a decent epg for those channels and all my scheduled recordings from them have the name “manual” and it’s a mess.

    Register and go in the downlaod section. What you need is EpgDownloader.exe, trust me ;)

    The new version of EpgDownload requires that you sign up to the forum and post 10 "real" messages before you can use it. Too bad.
    I wonder what the mods of that forum would say if their MediaPortal would stop working until they post 10 messages on THIS forum...
    I hope the XMLTV for Italy will be fixed soon!

    Bye!

    They have far more that 10 posts on this forum ;)

    Anyway, everybody that create an application can decide the rules of usage. If you are not happy with them, build one of your own!

    Thanks for that. I found "Chnlineup" in the Sky grab and "FreesatEPG" in the Freesat grab and enabled them both in EPG Collector, and also set them as the EPG grabber for radio in MP2. But here's the odd thing: The next time I opened the XMLTV EPG mapper (where you map actual channels to channels available in the EPG), the radio...

    Thanks jfd553, Yes, I figured out it does download from Schedules Direct. I had done what you suggested and checked my download file for that specific channel number and could not find it. So I submitted a request to update the Schedules Direct data for my area. Took a few weeks but I just heard back 3 days ago that it had been...

    Glad the problem was at least solved for you. But it's one of the issues nobody likes. It's bad to have bugs, but I prefer a clear error in logs with a solution behind ;)

    Well, despite disabling ipv6, I can still see the error this morning. I guess the errors are random, no worries. I did a search for "genaservercontroller" and got 2 hits that reference Mediaportal 2 on Github. The linked items are from long ago, 12 years or so. Google-Results-Here
