[QUOTE="wyzazz, post: 329124, member: 84003"] [USER=84504]fshgrind[/USER] I use the zap2xml program in conjunction with the XMLTV plugin. I followed the below to get it working… First, follow the directions from the site [url=http://zap2xml.110mb.com/]zap2xml[/url] to get a zap2it account and get the listings to show the 6 hour grid, and then download the windows binary from the site, then execute it so it extracts the file, and take this file, zap2xml.exe, and put it in the media portal xmltv folder, then go to start>programs>accessories>system tools>scheduled tasks, and add a new task for it using the "add a task" wizard, which should walk you through most of it. When it asks you for the program you want to run, click browse and go to file you put in the xmltv folder. Set it up to run however often you want your guide to be updated. After it is set up, right click the new task you just created, click properties, and make sure you are in the "task" tab, then where it says run, it will have the location of the directory that you selected, add the following to the very end of it, after the zap2xml.exe part: -u YOURZAP2ITLOGIN@EMAIL.COM -p YOURPASSWORD -o tvguide.xml , Replacing the capitalized letters with the appropriate login and password for zap2it, and when the schedule executes, your tvguide data should be populated. You may need to set time zone info in the media portal setup, and media portal may not instantly update the time zone info. I think that about covers it. Then the only thing I had to do was create the xmltv.dtd file from a blank txt file (it’s empty) and everything works well. To go in to more detail, in “C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\xmltv” I have the below. Xmltvmap.xml was created automatically after I mapped my channels. [IMG]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=28951&stc=1&d=1226678395[/IMG] Then I have a scheduled job that runs the zap2xml.exe with the proper options. ("C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\xmltv\zap2xml.exe" -u username@email.com -p password -o tvguide.xml) [IMG]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=28952&stc=1&d=1226678395[/IMG] And my XMLTV plugin (included with MP TV Server) is setup like this… [IMG]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=28953&stc=1&d=1226678395[/IMG] Hope this helps, if you want to PM me for more information I'll be happy to help out.
