[QUOTE="iancalderban, post: 343384, member: 85629"] from my experience this weekend getting myself bootstrapped on MP from scratch the documentation isn't perfect. webepg was my main goal of coming over to MP from vista tv pack... run webepg.conf to setup your listings and then webepg. check you tvguigde.xml is generated and check WHERE it is. open it in notepad and check it contains meangful looking information. its just a text file, you shold be able to read channel and program lists in it. go to the xmltv plugin, enable it and change the directory (on vista at least, the default is wrong, its in a directory I never even new existed!) go to the second xml plugin tab, load/refresh. check you get a bunch of channels listed and at least some of them match. hit SAVE in here (I don't see this in the docs anywhere, but for me it seems to be crucial) go back to the first tab and hit manual import. you should see channels and programs imported both > 0. If not, try some of the below now I am not 100% sure what is needed possibly a reboot or two or three definately go and have a cup of coffee restart media portal go and have another cup of coffee then open tv guide. hopeftull you have some channels with good listings into the future not just now/next (I do) it seems the import has to be left quite some time to process hence the coffee breaks before being sure its worked (or not)... I had 28000 programs with 14 days of epg. HTH Ian [/QUOTE]
