ok i re installed the brp and freexmltv (latest versions), now everything went well, at last i had the guide, it wrote the guide till approx sunday night. so today is friday and the task i think has run everyday but the guide isnt updating , i have check the ninemsn site and there is data up till 25/may. do i have to reconfigure something everytime it updates the guide? am i missing something?

When FreeXMLTV was running did you see it saying something like "getting data for 19/5/06, Getting data for 20/5/06" etc?

After running BRP, did you go into Settings/TV/Guide?Get latest listings and force MCE to update the guide info?

No, it is a scheduled task, but after you initially install BRP you will need to do a manual one to get a guide, unless you want to wait about 24 hours until the next scheduled update has run.

well i di do it b/c i got the guide straight away , updated the channels and everything has been fine for at least 5 days , so it seems my problem is when the task is run it isnt doing whaqt it should be doing,

i will look at the listings2 file? what else should i be looking at?

i ran the task agian , still no data , i saw the listing2 file appear then at the end it has disappeared , i have searched the pc and the file isnt on the pc

what shall i do now ? why isnt it updating?

The listing2.xml file only has a brief life. FreeXMLTV generates it then BRP picks it up and turns it into guide.bin, this is what MCE looks for to import the actual guide.

Check C:\WINDOWS\ehome\BladeRunnerPro\GuideData to see if guide.bin exists.

If you force a download guide now from MCE, does it say Guide Downloaded OK or does it give an error?
