Re: offline guide listings

no because MCE looks for an outside connection, regardless if its getting the file locally so as soon as that fails its all over.

Re: offline guide listings

I have managed to get a broadband connection to my computer. I set it up correctly, thatis to say, media centre said that the connection is working.

when i try to setup guide listings, the providor information downloads correctly, but when i try to download the actual guide i9nformation, media centre says there has been an internet connection failure, code 13

Re: offline guide listings

That's no problem.
  1. Install EPGRunner on your MCE machine.
  2. FreeXMLTV on your networked PC.
  3. Make sure you have the PC you want to access has a mapped connection to your MCE machine
  4. Download listings with FreeXMLTV
  5. Configure EPGRunner to manually upload EPG files from a folder.
  6. Run EPGRunner

Done

E.E.

Re: offline guide listings

im a bit unsure about your instructions EE...

1)the mapped connection part - does that mean something like make sure you can use a flash drive or something to move the downloaded file to my MCE computer,
2)how do you configure EPGRunner to manually upload the EPG files, and
3)are the EPG files the downloaded files from freexmltv?

Re: offline guide listings

Hi,

map a network location ie; the folder on the PC where your epg files are remotely, you'll have to share this folder first, of course.

Mapping drives is tricky on MCE because they don't stay, but a quick script fix is available, all you have to do is set a .bat file to activate on startup mapping the drive with "netlogon" command.

Or in the case of a thumb drive, plug it in.

In the config for EPGrunner, is the option to upload files from a local source. So navigate to your freshly mapped folder, or newly plugged in drive and voila.

E.E.
