[QUOTE="cholden, post: 1147709, member: 113106"] 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, [URL]http://zap2xml.awardspace.info/[/URL]. 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, "[I]zap2xml -u [email]zap2xmluser@email.xx[/email] -p password -o tvguide.xml -e -D[/I]" You will need the exact file locations, i used [I]"c:\EPG\zap2xml" -u [email]zap2xmluser@email.xx[/email] -p password -o "c:\EPG\tvguide.xml" -e -D[/I] I had a popup asking to use options and selected yes. Manually run zap2xml.exe to have tvguide.xml created. [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup/4_TV_Guide_Setup_%28EPG%29/XMLTV_mc2xml[/URL] From the [SIZE=4][B]Setup XMLTV Plugin[/B][/SIZE] section Point XMLtv to grab the tvguide.xml from the new folder. Click import. This takes some time. [SIZE=4][B]Channel Mappings[/B][/SIZE] section Load/Refresh button. Setup channel mappings, click save. [SIZE=4][B]Setup XMLTV Plugin[/B][/SIZE] 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. [/QUOTE]
