[QUOTE="krntea, post: 150623, member: 28550"] Hi, I was going to put this in TVServer Support, but I suspect my problem is so fundamental it should be a suggestion for improvement (since there is no "Cry For Help" forum): Summary: I am new user (to MP and HTPC's in general) - but am an experienced programmer by trade. Quickly realised that program guides are essential to using MP/HTPC's however from a project developer point of view: It looks like this WebEPG feature is stuck in the dead gap that exists between design changes (Old MP and TVServer designs - Are there developer roadmap's somewhere?). The problems: - All wiki documentation I have found on this topic is not related to the TV Server. - New users like myself have no idea how all the pieces (WEBEPG, XMLTV, Grabbers, XML-DTD etc) fit together with TVServer. - Have searched these forums for hours and found hotpotch collections of rants, tips and ideas - sometimes related to TVServer setup but many times undefined, lots of stuff on time zone problems with people getting quite upset in some cases. Nothing definitive on how to get Program guides working with TVServer. The closest summary I have gleaned so far for getting WebEPG going in TVServer: - Copy WebEPG files to TV server directory (but no exact list of which files), - configure WebEPG like "normal", but then a web-epg-confg can't import so you have to enter channels manually one by one(!!!?). - Point TVServer xmltv plugin to wherever the WebEPG puts its xml output. Is that an accurate summary of the state of EPG under TVServer? Any clarifications or pointers to more concise info _greatly_ appreciated (its hard to believe channel's have to be imported by hand one by one!!!). Thanks, Keith. [/QUOTE]
