[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1290478, member: 141969"] I had a quick look at the Schedules Direct web site. There is [URL='https://forums.schedulesdirect.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3190']this thread[/URL] that is similar to your requirements. It suggests that all you need (after installing XMLTV) is to use these commands: To initially configure XMLTV: [code]xmltv.exe tv_grab_na_dd --configure[/code] To download EPG data from Schedules Direct: [code]xmltv.exe tv_grab_na_dd --days 7 --output tv.xml[/code] It looks quite simple, but I have not actually tried using any of this, so it is probably more complicated than the above. For instance, I don't know what the parameter "tv_grab_na_dd" means, but I might guess that it means "grab TV epg for North America (NA) using the XML (DD) format" (there is an alternative JSON format available, but MP cannot use that). Also, you need to download xmltv.exe, which is itself a challenge since it seems to be undownloadable from the XMLTV web site. I eventually found the xmltv.exe for Windows on SourceForce: [URL='https://sourceforge.net/projects/xmltv/']here[/URL]. For MP, you would need to: [LIST] [*]On PowerScheduler "EPG" tab: specify the xmltv.exe command in the "Run command" field. [*]Enable the MP XmlTv plugin to cause MP to read the file generated by the previous step. [*]Remember to specify the correct path and filename for the EPG file generated by the first step.
