Try this post... It's a while back this thread.

Thanks! I was able to set the MCE d/l time which is all I really needed.

can't find any explanation of the 'renumber' function for cmdline...

how does it work? it may be the fix for my digital dupe issue...

renumber=C:\Path\To\Renumber.txt

See the example renumber.txt in Configs\Samples.

Hi,

I downloaded the latest (0915) installer and ran setup.exe on my Vista Ultimate PC which has 2 working TV tuner cards. When I try to run setup, it first complains of a security issue, which I assume is just typical of Vista. So I click on the security dialog's [Continue] button and the installer continues. But the thermometer bar only gets to about 50% and stalls. The installers's controls are still active, as I can click on [Install] again, change the default folder etc.

Any advice? Any prerequisites that I might be missing?

Thanks!

I've uploaded to the wiki, a modded setup zip. There was a pathing problem I think I fixed. Try again!

To All:
There are no modifications to the GUI or command line tools. If you have succesfully installed it, you do not need this new setup zip

This GBPVR forum was down for me all day yesterday but I did want to report back that I did get MCE to XMLTV working on my setup.

whurlston, you were right on about the duplicate channel ID being my problem. Once I 'excluded' the single duplicate in my channel listing, everything worked well.

My only complaint was that after it was all working, my GBPVR and MVP TV Guide was displaying a channel icon for many of my channels and I'd gotten used to channel number and name only in the guide. I got around this by renaming the folder in the GBPVR path that had the logos in it.

Thanks for the help and for the work put into this project. Finally I have a use for a tiny bit of the MCE portion of Windows XP SP2 on my system.

If I have 3 tuners but only use headend /lineup do i need to assign the lineup to all tuners ? (using the gui)

Thanks

You need to assign the xml file to all three tuners in gbpvr but as long as they're tuning the same cable you'll only need one MCE headend/lineup.

If all three tuners should have the same lineup, then you only have to download one lineup with the GUI BUT you must 'attach' the resulting xml file to each of the three tuners.

The instructions on the wiki explain how to do it easily, inside the GUI...

According to my example, you will have only one HeadEnd in the list. Click to highlight and then click 'Select Capture Source'...

I am actually able to do one download that handles different analog and digit tuners with the use of include and exclude files.

i'm having a hard time trying to get includes and excludes and renumbering working on newest version...i don't use gui, but need all 3 options to get the lineups i want...
it doesn't seem to honor any of the cmd line options...has something changed?

what is the cmdline syntax for new util versions? or do i need to specify and use config.ini?
i tried with my old syntax that worked with separate ver. of utils,but no go..
tried everything else i could think of...even used default names,[used to work also] but nada...always gives me the full 970 channels...[i only need 20]

EDIT:
it only works if i don't specify files on cmdline and use c:\epg\configs\default\include.txt
which eliminates any possibilty of using multi-configs...
what are examples of cmdlines used by gui with all 3 files? [include/ex/renum]
EDIT2:
got it working by using confg=dig and putting files with default names in that dir off of current dir...
[my exe's in gbpvr\epg\ so configs in gbpvr\epg\configs\dig\ ]
so finally will see if it all works out and adjust my other lineups..

so far so good...
of note: i used '/file=..\mcedig.xml' and it actualy output to the current dir!
[c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr\epg\output\..\mcedig.xml was final out dir onscreen, and gbpvr\epg was where file landed properly..which gives me another idea..specify config same way:'..\dig' to skip having configs dir hardcoded]
so now i have cmdline:
MceEpg2XmlTv.exe name=1 file=..\mcedig.xml config=..\dig
and in/exclude files are in [current dir]\dig\include.txt
and output is [curent dir]\mcedig.xml
now to check the cryptic name/# combos are correct...lol
cool...!
