UpdateEPG.bat works manually but not daily automatically. (script included)

This is my script, works fine. See if it'll work for you before changing any of the options.


cd /d C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts
C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts\zap2xml.exe -i C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Media\Channels -o C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts\epg.xml -u xxxxxxx@xxxxxx.com -p xxxxxxxx -d 10 -D -E "amp apos quot lt gt" -F

Tried it but still didn't auto update. I also played with the user permissions but nothing worked. I'll be using Windows>Task Scheduler w/ "nextpvr.com -updateepgonly" until someone finds a solution.

I suspect it will just work if you set NextPVR Server to run as the username that works with NextPVR manual updates. It all boils down to the zap2xml home folder being in AppData of the installer. I am not sure that step 6 on the instructions is clear enough about the need to install Windows Active Perl. I think there is a comman line option to change the home folder but I have never installed it.
