XMLTV no longer importing. (1 Viewer)

Maybe your dtd copy got damaged. Here is the original one in case you would like to give it a try.

Can you check the tvguide.xml: the first lines might give some indication about service and auxiliary files used.

Here is the full tvguide.xml.


Edit: Removed 160MB file. Added small version.

Mate, I asked for the fist lines - not a full 160 MB download .

Please just open the file yourself and take a look at the beginning of the file. The text should be self-explanatory. If not just copy a few lines from the beginning and upload them.

Oops. Sorry about that. Here is a small copy.[DOUBLEPOST=1438017160][/DOUBLEPOST]I set up an account on Schedules Direct and downloaded a file. I changed the mappings on a few of the channels and walla. Looks like Ron pegged it. M$ has killed the legacy.

I'll finish the mappings and do another update and let everyone know.

Thank you for the help.

the beginning of your original tvguide.xml had "tv source-info-name="Zap2it" generator-info-name="mc2xml" so this was the old legacy, now-dead option

Somehow I missed the announcement, when was the final death?

Also, Schedules Direct appears to be working fine. Thank you again!

I started having the same issue, using MS Legacy. So I just wanted to say thanks for the info everyone.

I was able to use zap2xml instead of mc2xml to update my tvguide.xml file and allow for programs to import into xmltv.

Follow the steps 1 and 2 from this site, http://zap2xml.awardspace.info/.

Download zap2xml.exe. Create a new folder for the TV guide data. Place xmltv.dtd and zap2xml.exe in this new folder.

Make a new task scheduler entry and disable the old mc2xml. Schedule the task every other day at 3am for example.

Set the action of the task to start a program, "zap2xml -u zap2xmluser@email.xx -p password -o tvguide.xml -e -D"

You will need the exact file locations, i used "c:\EPG\zap2xml" -u zap2xmluser@email.xx -p password -o "c:\EPG\tvguide.xml" -e -D

I had a popup asking to use options and selected yes.

Manually run zap2xml.exe to have tvguide.xml created.

From the
Setup XMLTV Plugin section
Point XMLtv to grab the tvguide.xml from the new folder. Click import. This takes some time.
Channel Mappings section
Load/Refresh button. Setup channel mappings, click save.
Setup XMLTV Plugin section
Click import. This takes some time. Make sure "total programs imported" shows a large number instead of 0

Open Mediaportal to make sure the tvguide listings show up. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello Team Mediaportal,

I too am now having an importing tv guide. I think it is about where I have XMLTV in which folder & where MPtv server looks for it, but I don't know. Attached is the error I get
