Share EPG?

[da_thompson]

Hello,
I am sorry if this info already exists but I searched and searched and could not find an answer. I am running GBPVR 1.2.13 on two PCs and only one has an internet connection and updates the EPG daily. I would like to manually copy the EPG file from the one PC to the other (its not on my network either) every other week or so but I cannot determine the location of the EPG file.

Can someone point me to a thread or config file that tells me the path and file name for the EPG so that I can copy it?

If for some reason the EPG is embedded in a file that cannot be copied from one PC to another can I copy the original source XML file from Schedules Direct that was downloaded and get GBPVR to update its EPG based on this file (on the PC with no internet or network connection)?

In case you are wondering WHY I am running GBPVR on a PC with no internet or network connection it is because I have older shows on this PC from when it had a connection and I basically still use it as a media center. I also use the PC to watch live TV but it would be nice to have an EPG also.

Love the product by the way and thanks ahead of time for any assistance.

If you are using the built in Schedules Direct support, the EPG data is only stored in the database and is not savd seperately where you can use it on the other machine. You can however download XmlTV and use it to get your Schdules Direct listings and then use the XmlTv file as your EPG source.

Thanks for the advice, I was afraid of that.

Change the following line in config.xml from:

<SaveZap2itXML>false</SaveZap2itXML>

to:

<SaveZap2itXML>true</SaveZap2itXML>

and the data from SchedulesDirect will be saved in the root directory as zap2it.xml.

Thats more of a debug file though, and cant be feed into the application on another machine.

Doesn't SchedulesDirect Utilities' SchedulesDirectImport.exe import this file into the application?

I fairly sure that just imports extra stuff into its own database, not into GB-PVR's database.
