MceEpg2XmlTv

[pBS]

zehd, what skin are you using to display all these extra info on the tv guide. Are you using pvrx2?

that's i-xmltv add-on..[wiki].it takes data and copies teh extras into the guide for display on either gbpvr.exe or pvrx2.exe in regular guide..

whurlston has given me the green light on the GUI. I'll have lots of time in the next few days. Gonna need some Vista testers... there's a clipboard being passed around. Sign up for the shift you'd prefer, and times in the day that a phone call would do the most damage to your sleep patterns... and WAF...

whurlston, could you please adjust something in mce05epgXmlTv.exe ?

Currently it must be in the c:\windows\ehome directory. Probably so that it can find something...

I have alreday copied all the extra files noted in an ealrier post, and yet the app won't run find the data from any other folder than ehome...

Could you write something in to make it find the ehome directory?

Thanks

Not sure. It doesn't contain the debug data. Try the attachment in post 145 of the thread. It's the same build as the realease but includes the debug output. It should give me more info.

If you have a BDA device installed, you may need to copy the BDATunePIA.dll as well.

For my batch file I just add c:\windows\ehome to the path and I don't have to copy any file. You might be able to modify the environment before exec'ing the utilities.

That's the easiest and cleanest solution. Another alternative is actually run it from the ehome directory:

cd c:\windows\ehome
c:\epg\downloader.exe headend
c:\epg\converter.exe dir=c:\epg

That was for the exporter not the downloader. But I realized that I was trying without the esched service running. I also put a 5 sec sleep bewteen the download and the exporter. I'll see if I can shave that down...

I think you're using Vista. If I understand it, the Vista exporter is portable. That is can be launched anywhere and it will still find whatever it needs like the data...

I think the MCE exporter still needs to be in the ehome directory, in spite of those few files that should be copied

That's the easiest and cleanest solution. Another alternative is actually run it from the ehome directory:

cd c:\windows\ehome
c:\epg\downloader.exe headend
c:\epg\converter.exe dir=c:\epg

If you add the path, then the exporter has to be in the path, which is the same as running it straight out of the ehome directory.

If I want to have mce05XmlTv.exe somewhere other than the ehome directory, currently, I have to have a statement like this...

Code:

c:\windows\ehome\Mce05Epg2XmlTv.exe "dir=C:\EPG" "file=0008100-.xml" "exclude=C:\EPG\exclude.txt" name=1

Remember, I don't want to switch to the ehome directory, because I want everything like logging and such to occur in a main folder like 'C:\EPG'

Currently, the downloader acts nice. It will run anywhere I put it. I just need the exporter to look for windows\ehome on its own... Yes, I can do that programatically. But it would make the mce and vista versions, hat much more similar
