Updated MC2XML for downloading XMLTV files is available (2 Viewers)

Some of you may remember the last time MC2XML expired and quit working on Schedules Direct (why does it do that?). Anyway, it quit working for me on 9/30/25. On a whim I went back to the Awardspace.info archive on the Wayback machine and lo and behold, it has been updated and works again!

Here is the link if you need it: Awardspace.info MC2XML link.

I had the same problem with mc2xml.exe and schedulesdirect. Mine stopped working after a successful run on 25-Sep-25. The new mc2xml.exe fixed the problem. Thanks for finding this later version of mc2xml.exe.

Thanks... So annoying.

I didn't notice it had stopped working and missed some recordings.
The version number still seems to be 1.7.2. Hard to tell that the file has been updated.

Sigh. I stream a lot of it now anyway.

Good question on mc2xml.exe & schedulesdirect. I donated many, many moons ago for schedulesdirect support. I suppose I could again.
I guess I could look at other solutions. Been so long, I barely remember how so mess with the thing.

OTA days are probably numbered anyway. Networks are putting less and less new content on the OTA channels.
AND, ATSC 1.0 turn off (with ATSC 3.0 DRM) may kill what's left of MediaPC recording.
