    From my understanding 'Import Paths > Removable' will keep reference to files that are not available only for that import path e.g. a DVD Drive or someother removable device. Also during scan it will retrieve DriveInfo such as volumelabel and prompt for that if you try to play a episode from this path and its not available e.g. Insert Disk etc

    'Online Data Sync > Keep reference to files that are not available' will keep reference to all files on all import paths. Might be useful if you have a slow response to see a network drive (but usually that can be fixed by playing around with different driver combination's). I use to have a problem where I needed to do this because it took 30secs for the network to be available.

    Actually, you just reminded me of how I have handled this in the past: I merged the contents of an old export.xml with a new one to make a complete file containing the old values I needed and the new values I didn't want to change. Why should it matter if the export file is missing some values? I would expect the import process to...

    Update: Problem solved! The electronic program guides (tvguide.xml) have been successfully transferred to MediaPortal. The issue stemmed from the corruption of one or both of the mc2xml.dat and/or mc2xml.exe files, for an unknown reason. Consequently, even though the tvguide.xml file appeared to be updated, its content kept being an...

    I used to use the grabber but a few years back it disappeared on FreeSat DVBS. That is when I changed to EPG Collector. The extra benefit is that it collects from the Sky platform so it will give EPG for all the FreeSat channels plus the unencrypted movie channels on the Sky platform. It also allows me to pick the channels dedicated...
