I have now tried Schedules Direct and can get the download fine (use MC2XML to grab from Schedules Direct (details in the Wiki here http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup/4_TV_Guide_Setup_(EPG)/XMLTV_mc2xml).

However, same problem in that Series/Episode data doesn't seem to be inserted into the MP database. I can look at the XML file and see that the data are actually brought down - just as they were in the Digiguide download, but they don't appear in the EPG when viewed in MP.

So unless I'm doing something wrong on the XMLTV side, it looks as though even though the XMLTV plugin worked fine to bring the Series/Episode data over from the Alan Birtles XMLTVGui download from the BBC site, it won't find those data in other XML files.

I'm at a loss. Does anyone know how how XMLTV works?

I'm hoping for an insight from mm1352000 here as he wrote the page in the Wiki that successfully got me working with MC2XML and Shedules Direct.
