MceEpg2XmlTv

[eds]

Hey all -

Completely new to this forum and to the program. Just installed hardware and software last night, but I am having some trouble.

GBPRV won't show live tv without a guide.

Trying to download guide information and after hours of struggling to find Digital HDTV channels through my antenna - I finally got it right.

I've been having the same problem that a few others had - Mce would not find channels when I select antenna as my provider. Then I ran mceepg2xmltv utility and I finally got some channels in GB-PVR config utility.

Question is - do I always have to manually hit the mceepg2xmltv utility to get my digital channels to appear or is there some way to automate the process after each program update?

Also, now that I have channels, I still have problems tuning them in (it crashes GB-PVR config utility). This the right space for this?

BTW- I'm using the current build (GBPVR10016) with a HVP-1600 board.

Thanks in advance.

Frank,

Here you go. I've included my UpdateEPG.bat & BasicEPG.bat

Regards,

I'm sorry that I have taken so long to respond to this. It slipped through the cracks...

Your batch files show that you are not calling the GUI at all. If that's what you want, OK

If you want to use the GUI you only need this in your GBPVR/UpdateEPG.bat

Code:

cd\
cd C:\EPG


"C:\EPG\MCE2XML_GUI.exe" auto

Hey all. I just got my Hauppauge WinTV PVR 150 and MediaMVP in the mail today. I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium. MCE recognizes the PVR150 and I can watch TV through it. But I'm having trouble getting MCE2XML configured. It finds my providers just fine, but when I select a HeadEnd and click "Select Capture Sources", it does not list the PVR150, so I can't select anything. Without getting this configured, I can't get gbpvr configured (since it requires an EPG to be configured)... Help!

Oh yeah, I've installed the latest Hauppauge Vista drivers (rather than the ones Microsoft installed for me the first time). Although mce2xml didn't find the card with either driver. I've rebooted several times (in typical MS fashion) to no effect.

It just magically started working, so nevermind I guess.

Although you've got this working, I thought I'd answer in case others are reading...

It sounds like you did not have the capture sources installed in GB-PVR. You actually did not need to setup the EPG part of the Capture Sources, but you did need to make sure that they exist in the GB-PVR config.

Then with the GUI, it will find the Capture Sources, and you can 'attach' the EPG XML files (as per the wiki)

Glad it's working now

I'm sorry if this has already been covered but this is a really long thread now. I have two pcs one has MCE and one doesn't. Could I just have it save the info to a folder and share that folder and access it on PCs on my network that don't have MCE?

Yes. This is basically the reason I created this utility. I had Vista on a laptop and figured there had to be a way to export the data so that I could use it on my HTPC.

zehd,

Just wanted to let you know I'm back in business. Thanks for all your help.

ok just a couple of questions on this. If I want to use to use the listings data from the one PC that has MCE 2005 on the one that doesn't do I need to set this plugin up on both PCs or just the one that has MCE or what?

[whurlston]

Just the one that has MCE. The non-MCE machine only needs to be able to access the output files. Set the output to a location that can be accessed by both machines. The simplest thing is to share the Output folder and map it on the non-MCE machine.
