a few questions and comments.

1. Is the windows scheduled task is running and updating the tvguide.xml file? Do the modified times on tvguide.xml and mc2xml.dat files match when you are running the batchfile? My batch file has some extra debug steps to write a log file when mc2xml runs. You need to tweak the drive/path for your system. I use this file with MePo PowerScheduler > EPG to run the batch file. I don't use a windows task.

L:
cd "\MePo\xmltv"
echo %date% %time% >> mc2xml_log.txt
mc2xml.exe -o tvguide.xml >> mc2xml_log.txt
echo %date% %time% >> mc2xml_log.txt

2. If you open the windows ScheduledTask tool, select your task and view properties, does the history show the task is running correctly? If you select your task and press "run" does the task run without problems?

3. If you stop/start the tv server and look at your tv.log file, you should see entries showing the xmltv plugin is started. Assuming your system goes to sleep there should also be tv.log entries when the system exits sleep and starts running. I see the following.

## TV Server stop/start
