MceEpg2XmlTv

okay i got the .bat file worked out it was
MceEpg2XmlTv2.exe config=1.xml auto
but i still can't get the config xml file to save the output where i want it

i changed the mceepg exe so i could run the gui downloader stuff along side the gui xmltv stuff so i am not without a epg while i work all this stuff out.

It should save the output to the file specified in the <OutputFile> tag located in 1.xml (or whatever config you use). You can override the output file by using "output="

Code:

MceEpg2XmlTv2.exe config=1.xml auto output=myfile.xml

If it is not doing that, run

Code:

MceEpg2XmlTv2.exe config=1.xml auto log=1.log

and post the log file.

so i am guessing i can't specify the output file with a "directory" other then the one that that the xmltv exe is in? just file name.

You can. If it has a long file/path name, you will need quotes though:

Code:

output="C:\Path to my\file.xml"

You can also just doubleclick MceEpg2XmlTv2.exe and when it starts, select the config file you want to work with, then specify the output file.

BTW: is the config file you are using created by the old GUI? If so, that is the problem. To run the new GUI just run MceEpgXmlTv2.exe. The config files used by the new converter are different from the old one. you will need to modify UpdateEpg.bat to run it once you have it configured.

okay that was what i was wondering about. i use the gui for MceEpg2XmlTv.exe and i try to put the output in a diffrent folder and convert it then i hit okay but it dont save the path. it just defaults to what it was to start with. which is
<OutputFile>C:\EPG\KS57836-.output.xml</OutputFile> from the config xml
i can't get the gui to change that

zip and post the config xml.

[jjaomni]

did both of them 1.xml and 2.xml

Those xml files are fine. There is a bug in the program that does not save the output location. I'll have it fixed tomorrow. I also discovered another bug that affects Vista users.

In the meantime, you can just open the config file in notepad and edit the output file location manually.

hmm. maybe that's why it worked for me. Cause I edited the files....
