Zap2It vs. XMLTV Plugin EPG Data...

[Pilot]

Is less than 7 days worth of data normal for GBPVR's EPG? When I use Zap2It through GBPVR, I just end up with about six days (or less) worth of data. If I use the XMLTV plugin through GBPVR, I end up with more data -- so far about 3 or 4 more days worth.

In troubleshooting this, I cleared out my channel line up and then switched back to using Zap2It. I ended up back with only six or so days of data, and then just five minutes later I'm downloading 3 or 4 more days of data via the XMLTV and the XMLTV plugin, which also uses the Zap2It service, right?

Is there any way I can get GBPVR's Zap2It option to give me more days, since it doesn't seem like it's Zap2It that's the problem on this one. I'd rather use GBPVR's Zap2It option since it's more automated.

Also a question -- does putting an updateEPG.bat file in the GBPVR folder still work for running a script prior to updating the EPG? I saw that tip in a much older thread, and didn't know if it was still true with the latest version.

Thanks for any help!

Its not configurable in the current release.

Yes, as far as I know this still works.

Thanks for the reply, sub. I'll just keep trying both methods for a while and see if the GBPVR Zap2It option eventually catches up to the XMLTV manual download. Either way, now that I know the updateEPG.bat thing most likely still works, they're both fairly automated.
