[QUOTE="OhMyShldr, post: 1232370, member: 162121"] Thanks breese very much. I could not get WebEPG to work anymore and stumbled on your work. It worked for me using the command prompt going to the location. windows key + R, type cmd in the run box and enter to get the command line I got this to work [I]zap2xml -u [EMAIL]zap2xmluser@email.xx[/EMAIL][/I] -p password -d 10 -A "new" -q -s -o xmltv.xml (looks like you have options not to register...among others) Then I tried to automate it with task scheduler like you proposed. Pointing to zap2xmlrc worked in making xmltv.xml file. But that had to be renamed or copied and renamed to tvguide.xml in order to be imported by the plugin. So I made a bat file as someone suggested like this to combine several commands to fully automate the process. I made a text file called run.txt and put this one line in without any breaks to first delete the old xmltv.xml file, then run zap2xml, and last to overwrite the old tvguide.xml with the new xmltv.xml file your program makes. del xmltv.xml && zap2xml -u [EMAIL]zap2xmluser@email.xx[/EMAIL] -p password -d 14 -A "new" -q -s -o xmltv.xml && xcopy xmltv.xml tvguide.xml /y && exit I saved that and renamed it something like run.bat and put it in the program folder Program Script "F:\TVGuide\run.bat" Add arguments no arguments, left blank Start in F:\TVGuide Worked when I manually ran the task, will see if it works by itself tomorrow. WebEPG did all that scheduling, and I guess there may be another way now to automate the schedule for the none too jaded.-- Thanks again [/QUOTE]
