[QUOTE="mundy5, post: 658178, member: 107100"] All, having just been through this little journey, I'd like to do my little bit to contribute to y'll. For further details see post #9 from here: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/installation-configuration-support-53/setup-webepg-ota-hd-usa-50377/[/url] So basically from the post, I learned 2 things. First, go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\WebEPG\grabbers\US (this is where XP put it; yours might be slightly different; do a search). There you will find 2 xml files: Yahoo and IMDB. I ended up revising the IMDB one myself. For safety, always backup a copy of the original IMDB file and mess around with the copy. 2 things you have to do to make it work. Make sure that the Channel id="XXXX" is the same as the one in your TV-Server configuration and put in the siteID found in IMDB. In my experience, they were simply the 4 letters of the station. You can find out for yourself by going to imdb.com and putting in your zip and your provider. Second modification was to put in the zip and the tv_prov into each channel entry. So below you will see my edited xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Grabber> <Info language="en" availableDays="14" timezone="" version="2.0" /> <Channels> <Channel id="FOX 2" siteId="KTVI/?zip=63146&tv_prov=MO24533" /> <Channel id="CBS 4" siteId="KMOV/?zip=63146&tv_prov=MO24533" /> <Channel id="NBC 5" siteId="KDSK/?zip=63146&tv_prov=MO24533" /> <Channel id="PBS 9.1" siteId="KETC/?zip=63146&tv_prov=MO24533" /> <Channel id="PBS 9.2" siteId="KETCDT2/?zip=63146&tv_prov=MO24533" /> <Channel id="PBS 9.3" siteId="KETCDT3/?zip=63146&tv_prov=MO24533" /> <Channel id="PBS 9.4" siteId="KETCDT4/?zip=63146&tv_prov=MO24533" /> <Channel id="CW 11" siteId="KPLR/?zip=63146&tv_prov=MO24533" /> <Channel id="THIS TV" siteId="KPLRDT2/?zip=63146&tv_prov=MO24533" /> <Channel id="ABC 30" siteId="KDNL/?zip=63146&tv_prov=MO24533" /> </Channels> <Listing type="Html"> <Site url="http://www.imdb.com/tvgrid/[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]/[ID]&start_date=[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]" post="" external="false" encoding="" /> <Html> <Template name="default" start=""> <SectionTemplate tags="TB"> <TemplateText> <tr><td><a><#START></a></td><td><a><#TITLE></a><a></a><#DESCRIPTION></td></tr> </TemplateText> </SectionTemplate> </Template> <Template name="Details" start="Genre:" end="Plot Keywords:"> <SectionTemplate tags="A"> <TemplateText> <div> <h5></h5> <a><#GENRE></a> </div> </TemplateText> </SectionTemplate> </Template> <Sublinks> <Sublink search="/title" template="Details"> </Sublink> </Sublinks> </Html> </Listing> </Grabber> Then you save it into your /Grabbers/US folder. Then relaunch TV-Server Configuration and then unmap everything, and then Auto Map it on the first screen under Plugins-WebEPG. Some important notes: I had it save directly into the TV Server database rather than mess with XmlTv. Then hit the Grab now! button and you should see it grabbing. You will notice that I have chosen to use a cable provider's EPG for my OTA lineup and that's because IMDB did not have an OTA lineup for me to choose. It actually turned out better as all the programming data is the same and even better in the cable provider's EPG. Feel free to shoot any questions. It took mine about 1 hr to finish grabbing so do realize that it will take some time. I have it doing the grabbing everyday. So for y'll you will need to change the Channel id = "" and the siteId="" and the zip= and tv_prov= I'd recommend that you change the xml file in the Grabbers/US folder rather than copy and paste from my post.
