Is there a feature in MP/TVE3 which will force WebEPG to auto update the tvguide.xml file every 7 days?

    Well, in the plugin section you can schedule it to run every day if you want to. If you, for whatever reasons, want a weekly run you can disable it as a plugin and instead use Windows' "Scheduled Tasks" to run it whenever you want to.

    Where do I schedule this? In TVE3 or MP? And where within those two?

    You schedule this from Control Panel->Scheduled Tasks, so completely outside MP and TV3E.

    I know that, I'm referring to the daily scheduling within MP?

    Also, my WebEPG writes to a "TVguide-writing.xml" file in the MP xmltv folder and does not overwrite the existing "TVguide.xml"?

    Go to plugins and there should be one called WebEPG grabber.

    Wrt the file TVGuide.xml not being written this may be caused by Webepg crashing before it has completed. Please check/post the log files in the logs directory.

    Your observation is correct mate. Last time this happened the fires of hell invaded all shopping centers... this time I seem to be the only one in need - which is quite uncomfortable at best. I guess I should look for an alternate solution until and if other MP users realize they have no guide listings. Thank you for chiming in...

    I agree about the dash instead of colon on the LIVE thing. I did a little change to get the current program, just removed the D from the tags. Not that important, so I dont upload any new file. A little sad about the end time, but nothing to do about it.
