Hi Guys Its my first post but i've been loving media portal for about 2 years now. I've never been able to get the tvguide working properly but i installed 1.0 and found the forum posts about mc2xml and it looked like the magic bullet.
So i downloaded xmltv and mc2xml.exe and xmltv.dtd and i've downloaded tvguide.xml and when i go to the xmltv plugin in tv configuration I do this:
I go to the following:
1) I confirm my path does point to the xmltv.dtd and all the files mentioned above
2) I hit load/ refresh
3) I click mappings and map all my tuning channels to guide channels from the tvguide.xml
4) I make sure everything is mapped and hit save
5) I hit load/refresh again to confirm that all channels are mapped and listed white (no reds)
6) I go back to the general tab of the xmltv plugin and hit force
Then it says the following:
Total Channels imported 100
Total Programs imported 0
import status tvguide.xml file imported successfully.
I am Banging my head against the wall this should be so simple -- ive been working on it for 2 days and tried 40 different variations of things like changing paths hitting save multiple ways, I've even gone so far as to uninstall 1.0 and install 1.1 beta just to see if it works. I've read every forum post, and google doc I can find on the "total programs imported 0" search strings and xmltv and mc2xml but none of them seem to help. Im definately following the directions i think. Also under TV Channels in config all my channels have a check mark to show in guide. Im on XP sp3 / Media Portal 1.1 Beta now
If anyone can shed some light on where i might be going wrong I would be eternally greatful!!
