much appreciated. It works (I just did not know what I had to configure it).

On a similar note, how can I get a view of all movies (just movies) that are in the guide (in a list or whatever). I am a long time WMC user and the best feature was that it would show me all the movies currently in the guide. When I got to search guide, movies seem to be categorize in the same genres as shows. That a big miss for me...

This is something I miss from WMC too. For those not familiar. Instead of having an the Group All: Channels bar on the left of the TV Guide. WMC has a View Categories here. Say your kids wan't to watch something. Instead of scrolling through the entire guide. You select Kids and it brings up all currently airing kids shows. Same goes for sports and movies. This makes it really easy and fast to find something to watch when you're in a certain mood.

    Ahh interesting idea, so as well as scrolling through channel groups we could scroll through genres. It could just be a pseudo channel group, that only lists channels that have a NOW/NEXT program that matches the genre.

    Thanks... So annoying. I didn't notice it had stopped working and missed some recordings. The version number still seems to be 1.7.2. Hard to tell that the file has been updated. Sigh. I stream a lot of it now anyway. Good question on mc2xml.exe & schedulesdirect. I donated many, many moons ago for schedulesdirect support. I...

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

    Update: Problem solved! The electronic program guides (tvguide.xml) have been successfully transferred to MediaPortal. The issue stemmed from the corruption of one or both of the mc2xml.dat and/or mc2xml.exe files, for an unknown reason. Consequently, even though the tvguide.xml file appeared to be updated, its content kept being an...
