Scheduled EPG Update - TV Guide not always updating from XMLTV

[whurlston]

Remember that it now goes in the \Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts folder.

Can't seem to make NPVR call on the UpdateEPG.bat file when running Update EPG. Exactly where should this bat file be placed? I have it in program files (x86)\npvr folder.

[whurlston]

In the "[DataFolder]\Scripts".

[pcostanza]

Thanks. That did it!

NPVR does run an UpdateEPG.bat file though (if it exists), before running its update epg process, which is a convenient place to add any commands like running mc2xml etc.

I had not realised this! Very handy, I was relying upon Windows Task Scheduler unnecessarily.

I've been using mc2xml to grab my data until SD is supported and I've chosen Microsoft Legacy which seems to update faster than SD but the file size of the xml with MS Legacy is more than twice the size of SD (which takes longer to download). What's the major difference? I can't see any difference in show detail when I compare.

[whurlston]

I'm not sure about the legacy. I'm using the enhanced (donate version) and it includes things like the show icons.

[pcostanza]

No icons for me with SD but I'll give a donation and see how it works. You'd think that if you pay SD, you'd get all that's out there already.
