[QUOTE="BKCH, post: 25217, member: 13992"] Hi James - I'd be very happy to help - getting this data into WebEPG would be excellent. So - good news - my marriage (and HTPC budget!) is secure! I have a big beautiful working FTA + Foxtel EPG :) WooHoo!! It remains to be seem what the long term accuracy but a quick surf points in the right direction! I even have descriptions, genres and actors!!! So - the path to EPG happiness is as follows (this probably seems a little long but I wanted to include all steps): Go to tvguide.org.au and register (then login to the tv guide section and set your preferences - don't worry about selecting all the channels you want - just pick one and click save :) ) One note here is that [url]tvguide.org.au[/url] relies on people entering in guide data so we probably need to do the right thing... Anyways - now you need the grabber: 1. Download the grabber from: [url]http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~willu/xmltv/tv_grab_au_tuhs[/url]. 2. Download and install a python interpreter - I used the free ActiveState distribution found at: [url]http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePythonFamily/?tn=1[/url]. 3. Edit the grabber: Comment out (with a #) the line: time.tzset() Change the line: config_file = os.path.join('.xmltv','tv_grab_au_tuhs.py') and get rid of the '.' in '.xmltv' - Windows don't like the '.'! (this is optional but probably good advise) 5. Run tv_grab_au_tuhs.py --configure 6. Edit the file that was created in the above set (it's also called tv_grab_au_tuhs.py and is probably in c:\documents and settings\<your user>\xmltv\. In the obvious spot put your username and password for tvguide.org.au. You'll also need to add a line for each channel you want to grab - it should be pretty obvious but the format is: {'Display': '<MP channel name>', 'tuhs': '<tvguide channel name>'} 7. Run: tv_grab_au_tuhs.py -o xmltv.xml -o tvguide.xml 8. Point MP at your new tvguide.xml, change your timezone offset (mine was 11 hours) 9. Enjoy :) (you then need to edit your config file [/QUOTE]
