TV Guide for Aussies (2 Viewers)

Thanks for that!

I'm setting it up now, and will let you know how I go! :wink:

Wow! Very cool! 8)

Got WebEPG pulling from the OzTivo source... great to finally have a decent EPG. :shock:

Let's hope those holding onto the EPG data in Oz finally come to their senses and produce something reasonable in the long run. :roll:

In the interim -- VERY VERY happy with the OzTivo/WebEPG solution. Works very well.

I followed the instructions laid out in the Wiki -- thanks for the link James, made it very easy.

Just a general question -- I see WebEPG-channels.exe listed? I didn't do anything with that? Do I need to? :?:

I also came across this link to JRobbo's EPG Guides -- anyone using them? How do these compare to the WebEPG/OzTivo details?

I'm having problems with the EPG setup. In the guide for WebEPG steup 2 tells you tom import you channels using WebEPG Config. I have setup my channels in media portal but I can't figure how to impot them using WebEPG config. It wants Channellist.xml but I don't have that file. Why? Can anybody help me out?

 

[Taipan]

What version of MediaPortal are you using? I thought that WebEPG now reads the channel data directly from the database?

Anyway, you can create the Channellist.xml by running "Backup" in Configuration / Television /TV Channels...

 

[Redbomber2000]

I'm using 0.2 RC4. That worked and now I can import the channels. I followed the rest of the guide but still no EPG showing up in MP. Should it be instant?

 

[Taipan]

Should it be instant?

Its not instant, but usually occurs within a minute or two. You can force an update by pressing "F3" while viewing the EPG and then selecting "Import TV Guide".

Also, check that you actually have EPG data in your tvguide.xml file that WebEPG created.

Hey thanks for that Taipan. Got most of it working now. I just have Imparja (9 crossed with Ten) to get. Being an obscure station there doesn't seem to be a way to set it up using WebEPG. Does that seem right?

Re: Help Please

Where (at what stage) does WebEPG fail?

I assume you have an account registered at minnie.tuhs.org and have set that you want an xmltv format file downloaded (in Set User Preferences)?

 

[jazZman]

Hi Taipan,
I have set up an account, but I can't find the area to setup the request for xmltv format...

with my user name and password in place of the XXXX, WebEPG only runs for about a second.
