How do I set up zap2it EPG?

[thebigz]

Hi.  I've been using npvr for awhile now.  I had to format and reinstall windows, and I'm having a hard time getting this all going again.

I backed stuff up as well as I could, but I think it's all legacy at this point, as I never used a version that had a web app.

I've found 90 channels, did the EPG update, but it only loaded today only and completely missed some channels.

I had zap2it set up to update the EPG before the format.  Can I use my zap2it account for the EPG on the current version (6.1)?

I don't know how I set it up before, as I did it years ago.  Is there a post to guide me through the process on this version?

Thank you!

Yes NextPVR still supports xmltv files such as those created by zap2xml etc I wrote this guide to some epg source for North America https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR/wiki/EPG.NorthAmerica maybe the link on it will help you. Other users might be able to walk you through it.

This all worked for me. Thanks! the zap2xml.exe no longer works on archive.org, but I had that in my backup, so I'm all good to go. Thank you! I'd be happy to share the .exe if anyone wants to host it so it isn't lost forever

Next time I am on the wiki I will note that download doesn't work. Since the original distribution is abandonware and the owner is lost, I would be reluctant hosting an untrusted source on the wiki.

The link on archive.org works fine for me. The old awardspace is 404.

The instructions are there but the download for the binaries don't work for me on phatic.ml, at least for the page I linked on the wiki. Is there another?

I just tried it, worked. You have to click on the very fine print "Download File" not the obvious looking part.

Thanks the one I put on the wiki was cached a few days earlier with a different download link.
