Ta for this Monster, after panicking when I tried my old BRP with tvharvest after a few months away from MCE (pre rollup 2) the new BRP and OzTivo works a treat.

Now to carry on the hunt for a cheap silverstone lc11!

Hi There,

I have this set up at present. When I log in to the TV Guide website it shows that data is available up until next Sunday.

However when the grabber on my PC does a scrape, it only pulls data to the Thursday.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with this? Know how to resolve?

Thanks for your time!

JD.

Sorry - Just found the solution thanks to someone in a different section!

You have to change the value of /d: to the number of days required in the arguments. ie:

/u:UserName /p:Password /d:7 /o:GuideData\listing2.xml

The instructions currently set you up for 4 days only.

I have no idea whats wrong with my setup!
I am running MCE2005 with rollupdate2.
I have followed the above instructions, the only thing which I am a bit confused over is the editing of the ChannelInfo.XML file.
I have the following channelinfo.xml file:-

-------------------------------------------------------------------<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>

<!--

<virtualchannel>xxx</virtualchannel>
the channel number displayed in the
Settings, TV, Guide, Edit Channels
screen in MCE

<virtualchannel>0</virtualchannel>
signifies that the channel is not to be
included in the guide data for MCE.
useful for grabbers like TVHarvest that may include extra channels.

<channelID>ABC VIC</channelID>
The ID string from the <channel> defn in your XMLTV file.
examples include things like seven.ebroadcast.au, Channel Seven Melbourne, etc.

<name>ABC</name>
Either the name as detected by MCE for DVB channels,
or the name you want to appear in the guide and the OSD for the channel.

If the name doesn't match, you'll need to use the
Settings, TV, Guide, Add Listings to Channel screen.

-->

<NewDataSet>
<Channel>
<name>ABC TV Melbourne</name>
<channelID>ABC VIC</channelID>
<virtualchannel>2</virtualchannel>
</Channel>
<Channel>
<name>ABC2</name>
<channelID>ABC2</channelID>
<virtualchannel>21</virtualchannel>
</Channel>
<Channel>
<name>7 Digital</name>
<channelID>Channel Seven Melbourne</channelID>
<virtualchannel>7</virtualchannel>
</Channel>
<Channel>
<name>Nine Digital</name>
<channelID>Channel Nine Melbourne</channelID>
<virtualchannel>9</virtualchannel>
</Channel>
<Channel>
<name>TEN Digital</name>
<channelID>Network TEN Melbourne</channelID>
<virtualchannel>10</virtualchannel>
</Channel>
<Channel>
<name>SBS Digital 1</name>
<channelID>SBS Melbourne</channelID>
<virtualchannel>28</virtualchannel>
</Channel>
<Channel>
<name>SBS Digital 2</name>
<channelID>SBS News</channelID>
<virtualchannel>29</virtualchannel>
</Channel>
</NewDataSet>

The "guide.bin" does get created in the correct directory after I run BRP. I just dont see anything in MCE. I have gone into MCE settings\TV\guide\setup guide listings followed the bouncey ball and entered "0000" as my postcode.
I then went into MCE settings\TV\guide\Get Latest Guide Listings, I get a message saying that it has been updated, but there is nothing in any of my guides.

What am doing wrong?

Thanks

Finally got it working. I had downloaded a channelinfo.xml file, (for Melbourne) but the channel id's were not the same as imported EPG data.

Thanks, again so close but yet so far!
