Zap2It Stopping Service (1 Viewer)

[chspyder]

Looks good, I was off for a while with those command line switches we will all be saved when ZAP2IT goes to yahoo only or what ever happens!

Thanks vort it seems to work better than what I was doing I kept forgetting to put - before the number in the first box I'll give it a shot in a little bit every time I do its like 30 minutes off how can I fix that? lol

Game_dude,

The second box is minutes, you can adjust it accordingly.

*Edit* Got it working!! I put -1 in the hour box and 10 in the minute box seems to be working now thanks for all the help!!

Yep, same for me. I still don't have access to OTA lineups.

The local broadcast for OTA seem to be back up. I just checked mine and recreated my lineup.

Works for me...thanks. I would have hated to go back to MCE.

These guys are starting something, looking for help, mostly mythtv people, xmltv etc. Might be worthwhile for some Media Portal input as well, at least for those in the states.

Thanks for the instructions on this thread. The Yahoo! guide batch file is working well after finding the correct timezone offset.

Now one more tweak. I am missing channel numbers in the program guide. I edited the list manually in the config, then my guide disappeared. I wiped out the channels and imported from guide and my guide info came back, so there is some sort of mismatch in the XML or database.

Any ideas on this? I'd like to have the channel number before the channel name as I had it in the zap2it plugin.

BTW - the Media Portal configuration application kept crashing until I removed the zap2it.dll from the plugins\process folder. That was frustrating.

Thanks for any help.

In your Batch file.. you just need to add "name=1" This will put your numbers in front of your channel names. So KTMP becomes 2 KTMP.

Here is the list of command lines you can use:

No commandline options are required but the following are available:

dir=<OutputDirectory> -- Write xml files to specified path.
"dir=<Output Directory>" -- Same as above but for paths containing spaces. Note the Quotes. Default is the app directory.
retries=X -- Number of times to retry listings download (per lineup). Default is 3.
delay=X -- Time between retries in seconds. Default is 60.
days=X -- Number of days to process for listings. Default is 14 (this may take a while).
offset=X -- Specify the offset value (example: -0500). Default is "+0000".
name=X -- Specify the way the channel name is displayed. Default is 0. Long name options will only work if the long names are in your database.

0 = "APLNT"
1 = "23 APLNT"
2 = "Animal Planet"
3 = "23 Animal Planet"
4 = "(APLNT) Animal Planet"
5 = "23 (APLNT) Animal Planet"

nodownload -- Process only. Do not download new listings (useful for testing to eliminate server load).
nosort -- Outputs unsorted title format. (eg: "The Program Title" instead of "Program Title, The").

Hi ASiDiE,

Thanks for the help.

I was stuck for a bit, then figured out that I needed to clear my channels and import them again.

name=3 is what I chose and works great.
