Common problems & Questions

Q1. Guide only shows data for ABC2 the rest have "no data".
This normally means that you havent assigned data to the appropiate channels and since ABC2
is a name match it shows. Goto "settings / tv / guide" then "add listings to channel".

Q2. Guide only shows data for "Nine" and maybe one other.
Check the source location, ie the website the data is being pulled from to make sure
its not related to them.

Q3. I have edited my "channelinfo.xml" file and i dont see the changes in the guide.
You need to get a fresh lot of data and once that is done goto "settings / tv / guide"
and then "get latest guide listings".

Q4. When going through the BRP setup I get a service error.
Reboot and try again. If that doesnt work make sure you can access the following location -
Open IE and type \\yourcomputername\admin$ and it should provide a list of folders, if not
make sure hidden shares isnt disabled. Also completely disable any firewall / antivirus system
on your machine and re-test.

Theres also a list of error codes that can be referred to at http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/articles/490466.aspx

Q5. How do assign "guide data" to HD channels.
You can use a program called HDiT or if using Freexmltv it has a couple of "HD" options.
Also make sure your channelinfo.xml matches accordingly.

Q6. Can i change the update time of MCE's built in guide.
Yes you can by using an application that a few people have developed.

Q7. My guide was working fine until i installed Rollup 2.
When installing RU2 it resets the "discSvc" registry entry back to default. Depending on what version
of BRP you're using there might be a client.reg file in the BRP directory which you can run to fix or just
reinstall BRP over the top, however make sure you backup any config files used.
