Zap2XML/GraceNote Broken... gain (2) (1 Viewer)

Howdy Y'all...

I'm reposting my plea with a new snapshot of the failed run on my actual viewing machine. Zap2XML/Gracenote is such a wonderful tool - which is now broke. There are only a few days of TV Guide left. I'm hoping someone smarter than me is looking into this. Much Thanks.

Zap2XML/Gracenote is such a wonderful tool - which is now broke. There are only a few days of TV Guide left.

The last time that this happened, there were comparable threads on https://www.thegreenbutton.tv/forums/ (for Windows Media Center users), and NextPVR Forums (for NextPvr users).

This time there is a noticeable lack of people complaining on those two web sites. I noticed only one thread, with only one user posting to it, this one. It is not even clear whether his problem has the same root cause as your problem.

The evidence suggests that only you and the NextPvr user have encountered this problem, possibly because you are using versions of tools that are not in general use by anyone else.

I don't use an internet EPG, and so cannot advise you what your problem might be. The only workaround that I can suggest is that you register with Schedules Direct and use their EPG ($30 per year, I think).

Your observation is correct mate. Last time this happened the fires of hell invaded all shopping centers... this time I seem to be the only one in need - which is quite uncomfortable at best. I guess I should look for an alternate solution until and if other MP users realize they have no guide listings.

Thank you for chiming in though, at least I wasn't blowing it all into the wind.
