    Hi,

    Currently using MP 1.1 Beta + Latest SVN / XP Pro SP3.

    My tvguide.xml is downloaded and created by calling a .bat file.
    Currently i triger the .bat file using a scheduled task in control panel.

    Is it possible to get tvserver to schedule the task/run the .bat file?

    Thanks
    Kiwi

    In SetupTV go to PowerScheduler, in EPG tab configure the time and days to wake up for grabbing and select your .bat file in "Run command before internal handlers are triggered". Also make sure to include in processes the name of the xmltv grabber (look in Task Manager's processes tab for the process name while the grabber is running).

    Thanks! I wondered if this was the case.

    I think the wording here is very ambiguous, I might make a mockup suggestion because i think it could be worded differently.

    I don't know what "internal handlers are trigged" means, i assume this means something like "command to download epg/process tvguide before xmltvnz imports tvguide"

    EDIT: If someone wants to edit the title "TV Series" -> "TV Server" they can, because it might help other users.

    I can help with that if needed, bt you should be able to do it as well.
