WEBEPG folder (1 Viewer)

[Ton Jense]

I somehow accidently deleted the WEBEPG folder.
Disabled the plugin, stopped and restarted the TVservice, enabled WEB EPG again, but the folder is not recreated.
Is there a way to get it back ?

if you have 7zip or winrar you could unzip tvserver installer and try to find webepg folder to copy it.
Another way is to take files from github
https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/tree/master/TvEngine3/TVLibrary/TVServer.Base/WebEPG
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/M...r.Base/WebEPG/grabbers/NL/1-www_tvgids_nl.xml
Third way is to ask someone with actual MP to zip them and attach. I assume you need NL grabbers so we could ask @HomeY help us.

Hi Ton,

I assume it's not in your trashcan anymore?

Did you put anything in those folders yourself (like your xml with settings, etc. for grabbing)? Anything added we cannot help you with unfortunately.
But if you only need the folder back, try the attached .zip

Thanks for the suggestions. I've installed MediaPortal on another computer and copied the WEGEPG folder.
Problem solved. I thought....
I used Auto Map to link my channels to EPG-sources, but have EPG data on only one channel.
There is a folder Channels with a file channels.xml that contains a lot of channels I do not have.
The only channel I do have, now has the EPG data.... Should I edit channels.xml so it contains my channels ?

No, this file is useless in most cases

If the WebEPG file seems to be missing, maybe it was not deleted. Have you made sure that hidden files are visible on your system? The folders containing the WebEPG files are hidden files, so you will not be able to find them if you do not change the Windows default settings.

Make hidden files visible and then you can easily edit the imdb grabber files or any other WebEPG files that you need to modify.

I had a eureka moment after reading Demosthenes' post about the WebEPG files and folders being hidden. I've been looking for about 5 hours to try to find these little buggers. However, making hidden files & folders visible did not help. I still don't find where this xml file is hiding. I've searched the registry as well as the file system. Regardless of what I do, the import is STILL picking up the sample data. How to I tell the server config where to find MY imdb file????

I'm running v 1.12.0
Thanks.

Jewell, please read my response to your previous post. You cannot tell TV Server where to find YOUR IMDB file; you have to put your file in the place TV Server expects to find it, which the wiki tells you is: C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\WebEPG\grabbers\US
You can get to that folder simply by copying and pasting the path (ie. "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\WebEPG\grabbers\US") into the address bar in Windows Explorer and then pressing enter.

Thank you mm. I probably should have mentioned that this is on a Windows 10 machine. The path you reference was in the directions so I had created the subdirectory WebEPG\grabbers\US under the C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server directory created by the install. It sounded like I could create my own filename, so mine is named Pittsburgh_imdb.xml. This is the only file in the directory. This setup didn't work.

I just did a complete uninstall and am reinstalling with an override to use C:\Program Files\ rather than the (x86). Hopefully, this will do it.

Any other suggestions would be most welcome! Thank you!

Jewell, please read carefully. The wiki and my post say ProgramData not Program Files.
