Schedules Direct US/Canadian/Mexico EPG Plugin (Updated August 2010) (2 Viewers)

The 311 alpha version in your post above, and the 1.0.2 "stable" version of MP.

That version is meant for the 1.1 Alpha, and newer SVN builds of it as that. For 1.02 you want the version I posted earlier in the thread

It seems like there's 4 or 5 of us rebuilding this thing, but I figured everyone else might appreciate a rebuilt 1.1a based off Media Portal 1.02, so here you go

No new features yet, just cleaned up for the new runtime version and built off the last version Patrick released, 1.1a, which has a couple added features from 1.1, which is the last version I posted up here that was built working for 1.1 and above.

So if you are using 1.1 or higher and can't roll your own, use this one

This is the one I use for the 1.02 release, works great. Thanks Ixian!!!

Heh, thanks, suppose I should've read back farther. Everything works like old.

So, I just realized that Comcast did a schedule change-up last night, and like a fool, I had to have it. Anyway, I deleted my old SD lineup (SD had actually created a new lineup called Comcast - Digital Reorganized on top of the one I was already using called Comcast Digital) which was Comcast Digital and switched over to the Reorganized one. Well, after doing that I couldn't get into TV Groups anymore. Would just lockup when I tried. So, I uninstalled TV Server (I had done an export of channels before trying to update the lineup) and reinstalled and then reimported my lineup. I could get back into TV Groups now, but was still missing the new channels. So, I went ahead and forced an SD update which seemed to download all the new channels, but then it also duplicated a bunch of channels I already had. So, after some cleanup, I finally got just the channels I needed. Well, then I noticed about 15 channels weren't downloading any data and 3-4 channels were linking to the wrong channels. So, my question to you guys is; is there a way to get into my MySQL database and change the xmlid's for the channels that aren't linking up right and the ones that aren't downloading the data? I really don't want to delete those channels and then rescan my analog and QAM tuners and the HD-PVR to link all this data back up again. It's a real PITA. Thanks for anyone that can provide some SQL knowledge on me.

I use SD with the XMLTV plugin which has the feature of allowing you to manually map channels. I started looking down the SQL data track but switch from SD Plugin to XMLTV plugin before figuring it out. My own view is that if you have a very simple setup of channels then the SD Plugin works great. However if you need more fine control then use XMLTV. Both can use the same SD data. However you have to use MC2XML to download the SD data for XMLTV plugin. I never did find out which table and column to edit in the SQL db.

Channels not playing in MediaPortal

Hi,

I am new to mediaportal so please bare with me I installed the SD plugin and all my channels appeared in the TV3 Server config. However, they do not play in Preview or in MediaPortal. As a test I manually added a channel from my S-Video and it played perfectly. I doubled checked the setup of the channels SD added and they are properly configured and have the correct video and audio source. So I think there is something going on with the SD plugin and my PC not liking the automatically added channels. All listings appeared in my guide just as it should. I followed the directions listed in this post. I am using a STB so I can't autotune. I am using SchedulesDirectPlugin1.1b. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Once you have all the channels imported you have to map the channels to your tuner card.
Did you do that already? I think it's called channel mapping in TVServer config.

Solved it. I did not delete the channels I had add manually prior to running the SD plugin. Once I deleted all channels, then installed the plugin everything worked great. Thanks for quick response.

Trouble getting SD working

I have everything up and running in MP 1.1beta with a HDHomerun(ATSC only) except for the SD plugin. I have, in the last couple of weeks, installed 1.02, 1.1Alpha and 1.1 beta multiple times and have not been able to get any data. All stations show the same program all day called "No Data Available". The only time I ever saw some data was when I had a Directv lineup in addition to the OTA lineup. There also appears to be a few things missing with the plugin. Where do I tell it which SchedulesDirect lineup to use? Where do I connect an online lineup to a specific capture device? Where do I tell it what stations found the hdhomerun scan matches what station in the guide? I know it's being done by the plugin but I don't see any way to modify the parameters. Is there any relationship to the TV Server settings for DVB EPG? I have that turned off because some stations I have to rotate my antenna and some only come in at night. I think I have the right version of the plugin which was named 1-1Compat and appears to be dated June 30th 2009. I do have an active SchedulesDIrect.org account and a single OTA active lineup.
