MceEpg2XmlTv

Thanks I'm happy with the original and I like the command line. I initiate some scripts from the MVP when I need it.

For the PCH I see that Syabas is even going to users on Silcon Dust and asking for input and someone responded http://www.networkedmediatank.com/viewtopic.php?t=1510

Maybe when you get the new house things will be all ready for you.

Like I don't have enough projects, you have to go and give me another.

but i still get a error with sp3 for the downloader. did i miss some where that that was solved?

[whurlston]

Sorry, I forgot that it was the downloader and not the converter that was having issues with SP3. I'll try to look into that this weekend but I'm busy cleaning up after a small tornado so it may be next week.

[whurlston]

jjaomni, I actually found the issue with 05 SP3 and the downloader.

You will need to copy the following files from your windows\ehome folder if they are not already in the same folder as the downloader:

bdatunepia.dll
ehCM.dll
ehepg.dll
ehepgdat.dll
ehiProxy.dll
ehiuserxp.dll
sqlqp20.dll

If you're trying out the new converter, then start with a new folder. You will not be using the Last Versions GUI.

You will need in the new folder, Let's call it C:\EPG\Grabber

Inside you want the MceEpgDownloader.exe including all the extra files that Whurlston just told you to include.

Then you want to copy the contents of the RC2 zip into that folder. Remember to rename the file:
'MceEpg2XmlTv.exe.config.mce05' to 'MceEpg2XmlTv.exe.config' (remove the '.mce05')

Run the Converter once, create a config file (I called mine '1.xml') Adjust for flavour, simmer and save...

OK. Now you're ready for a Batch file to tie it all together...

Mine looks like this

Code:

@echo off
cls

cd "C:\EPG\Grabber"

echo.
echo.
echo Downloading for [B]0008100- ....[/B]
echo.

MceEpgDownloader.exe [B]0008100-[/B]

echo.
echo.

echo.
echo.
echo Converting to XMLTV format for 0008100- ....
echo.

MceEpg2XmlTv.exe [B]1.xml[/B] auto

(This can be in your UpdateEPG.bat...) (Watch that you don't have other stuff in there!)

I didn't change any setting in the Converter and the default path for the final exported file was:
C:\EPG\Grabber\0008100-.output.xml

(Note, all the bolded text is specific to my system. That's my own Head end, and I chose 1.xml as the config filename, when the Converter startsup... Get you own specific head end number the way described earlier where you downloaded the Downloader, or maybe from the Old Gui, which could remind you of the Head End...)

I point my XMLTV plugin for the Capture Sources in GB-PVR to that file...
C:\EPG\Grabber\0008100-.output.xml


And then I do an update EPG. IT all happens like magic...

(PS You may have to 'fix the channels' if you're changing systems (sort of changing channel lineups)

BTW, if you want to use the new UltraXMLTV_Enhancer with this, you would add this line at the end of the example Batch file in previous post...

Code:

"C:\EPG\UltraXMLTV\UltraXMLTV_Enhancer.exe" "C:\EPG\Grabber\0008100-.output.xml"

(Assuming that the Enhancer is located in the "C:\EPG\UltraXMLTV" folder and that your final xmltv output file from the example above is: "C:\EPG\Grabber\0008100-.output.xml")

Use quotes if you are using File and Folder names that include spaces...
