[QUOTE="GruvSyco, post: 21090, member: 14961"] Have you gotten xmltv to work, downloading the files? This is how I have it working (USA), I'm assuming it would work similarly for nl (Netherlands?) Download xmltv and extract it. rename the folder xmltv and put it in the Media Portal folder. The path to xmltv.exe should be something like: c:\Program Files\Team Media Portal\Media Portal\xmltv\xmltv.exe Open a command prompt and configure xmltv. [code]cd "c:\Program Files\Team Media Portal\Media Portal\xmltv"[/code] [code]xmltv tv_grab_nl --configure[/code] Follow the prompts for any usernames, passwords and time zones. You can also choose to edit the channels downloaded here. Once it's configured you can dowload the TV listings excuting the following: [code]xmltv.exe tv_grab_nl --days 7 --output tvguide.xml[/code] tvguide.xml is the default name that MP uses so, if you haven't changed anything... MP should be able to read that file directly. Now, once this is done and you have your channels loaded into MP, if you would like to automate the process, you can do so using PVR Scheduler (at least that's how I do it). There are instructions on the PVR Scheduler site for setting this up. It integrates very nicely with Media Portal and allows you to schedule recordings to run even when you don't have MP running. The PVR Schedule tutorial talks about using a .bat file. Simply create a new text file... something like xmltv.bat and paste the same command into the document: [code]xmltv.exe tv_grab_nl --days 7 --output tvguide.xml[/code] Put this file in the xmltv directory and point PVR Scheduler to it. [url=http://www.pvr-scheduler.de/]PVR Scheduler[/url] [url=http://www.pvr-scheduler.de/Forums/viewtopic/t=44.html]PVR Scheduler xmltv guide[/url] in the tutorial, in the updater path, point it to your xmltv.bat file you created and leave the command area empty. If you followed the above, your path should look like: [code]"c:\Program Files\Team Media Portal\Media Portal\xmltv\xmltv.bat"[/code] Hope this helps a little. [/QUOTE]
