Running the latest version if esched isn't running I still get

See post # 149 on the previous page for a temporary work around.

I'm running Vista Home Premium.

Ok, so now I have MCE running. Same thing - the only place I can see related to TV setup is in the "Settings/General/Media Center Setup/Setup TV Signal" which gives me a "No Tuner found" thing.

Any idea?

[EDIT] It's an older version of MCE. If MCE05 stands for 2005, mine shows 2002 SP2. Should I get MCE05? will this solve my "no tuner" snag?

That's 2005. At least that's what my copy reports as. You can try http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/permali...spx#138071

It didn't work for me in a VM but I did not try it on an actual machine. The easiest way to get it working is to plug in a tuner card and then remove it after setup. That is the only way I've found it to work reliably.

Ah, sorry. That work around should still work for you. I can't reproduce that issue on my Vista machine but if I can fix it on the 05 machine, I will include the code in the Vista version.

No tuner might indicate no tuner. or at least not one it recognizes...

I only know 2005, not sure what would be the difference...

Here is the error message

Any clues?

Ok, it seems that on Vista, all services can be disabled. On MCE 05, the Media Center Scheduler (ehsched) must be started (or possibly running) between the downloader and the exporter. If not, the database doesn't actually get updated and the exporter cannot connect to it. If you disable the other services and set the Scheduler to manual, the following batch file will work.

rem ---------Start batch snippet--------
@echo off
Mce05EpgDownloader.exe headend-id
net start c:\windows\ehome\ehsched.exe
net stop c:\windows\ehome\ehsched.exe
Mce05Epg2XmlTv.exe [options]
rem ---------End batch snippet--------

Set your headend-id of course.

I'll look try to find the function call that I am missing to update the database but this will work for now.

Interesting that you stop and then immediately start the service. I will have to try that...

Do you have MCE Rollup 2 installed? If not, that may be the cause of the error. I can add error handling for it in any case.

Yeah, that's why I know there is a simple function call that I am missing. It's just a matter of finding it if they made it available to be called.
