[QUOTE="milhouse, post: 845228, member: 26653"] How can you tell it's not working? In general, I find the challenge is between matching the channels in MP that were found from a scan, and making them use the data that was downloaded by schedules direct. I generally do this: 1) scan and name channels 2) set up username/password in schedules direct plugin, and check the boxes fro "add new channels" and "run on next startup" 3) stop/start TV server. This should force SD to update. Give it 5 mins or so. 4) (probably a better way for this, but what I do is) Use SQL Server to copy the external_id information from the recently added channels (from SD) to the original scanned channels. Then I delete the recently added channels. 5) Re-config the plug to NOT "add new channels" and re-enable "run on next startup" 6) stop/start TV Service to get the schedule data again [/QUOTE]
