Here's what I did to get I-xmltv to work with Schedules direct.

This quasi-guide assumes you had I-xmltv running with the free zap2it labs EPG.


I used I-xmltv v1.2 (build 9/11/06).

Here are my I-xmltv user settings:

Code:
REM *** User Settings ***
SET DaysOfEPG=14
SET Incremental=0
SET Zap2ItStatus=2
SET AddDetails=1
SET MVSwitches=/md/() /mr/{} /m#/[]
SET TVSwitches=/sx /oe /se/ - /dd/() /df/Y-M-D /gd/1 /pi/* /tp/-6


REM *** Test & Troubleshooting settings ***
SET FixUTC=1
SET EmptyEPG=0
SET ReProcess=0
SET Use_tv_cat=0
SET MinDaySize=60
SET ForceDownload=0
SET PaddSoapRequest=0

REM *** Organize channels & Shift Listing times. (Not used with GBPVR)***
SET OrganizeChannels=0
SET ShiftListings=0
SET Offset=-0600
SET ShiftedFile=TV.XML

The important is the SET Incremental=0 entry. In my limited testing it seemed that it worked best.

Delete or rename the tv_grab_na_dd.conf file in the .xmltv directory.

Download xmltv-0.5.48-win32 here:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/xmltv/x...g_mirror=0

Extract the files and move the xmltv.exe into your I-xmltv folder which will overwite the old xmltv.exe file.

Doubleclick on your UpdateEPG.bat file in the GBPVR directory. I-xmltv will start and since you deleted the tv_grab_na_dd.conf, it will ask you for info to create a new one.

Fill out your Schedules Direct name, password, offset and lineup choice as requested. A new tv_grab_na_dd.conf should then be in the .xmltv directory.


In the GBPVR config app, set your recording source to XMLTV plugin. Set the path to the TVGuide.xml in your I-xmltv directory.

You can now test it by starting UpdateEPG.bat and manually importing the EPG from the config app or run pvrx2.exe -updateepgonly.

Awesome, that is exactly what we needed. However, I'm getting errors.

I'm using I-xmltv 1.3c with multiple lineups (2). I replaced xmltv.exe with the new one from your link. I removed the lineup-x.conf files from .xmltv directory (these are the tv_grab_na_dd.conf files for the two lineups).

I ran --configure.bat and it went through the process asking for user, password and select lineup properly. The lineups were downloaded to Lineup-1.xml and -2.xml, but I-xmltv isn't processing the file properly into the Lineup subdirectory. These are my settings in UpdateEPG.bat:

Code:
removed

This is from the I-xmltv.log:
Code:
removed

The TVGuide.xml files created by I-xmltv only have channel data, no program data. Anything obvious I'm doing wrong?
What, me worry?

I tried 1.3c and it seemed to work well. Here's the log:

Code:

Replacing -Paid Programming- listings, with -Zap2It- messages.
547 -Paid Programming- listings were replaced with -Zap2It- messages.


Here's the settings I used:

Code:
REM *** User Settings ***
SET DaysOfEPG=1
SET NumberOfLineups=2
SET Incremental=0
SET Zap2ItStatus=2
SET TheFindChannel=0
SET AddDetails=1
SET MVSwitches=/md/() /mr/{} /m#/[]
SET TVSwitches=/sx /oe /se/ - /dd/() /df/Y-M-D /gd/1 /ni/* /tn/-6



REM *** Test & Troubleshooting settings ***
SET FixUTC=1
SET EmptyEPG=0
SET ReProcess=0
SET Use_tv_cat=0
SET MinDaySize=60
SET ForceDownload=0

REM *** Program locations ***
SET GBPVR_DIR="D:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\"
SET XMLTV_Prog="D:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\I-xmltv_v1.3c\xmltv.exe"
SET I-xmltv_DIR="D:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\I-xmltv_v1.3c\"

REM *** Organize channels & Shift Listing times. (Not used with GBPVR)***
SET OrganizeChannels=0
SET ShiftListings=0
SET Offset=-0500
SET ShiftedFile=TV.XML

Perhaps you could try the same settings. (No matter what I try, I always get 14 days of listings.)

When GBPVR did the final import things were a little wierd. A bunch of channels were missing. I'm testing that more now. When I do a manual import everything is there.

When I ran -onlyupdateepg I had the missing channels. During the standard automatic update though, all the stations shows up.

Found my stupid mistake. :o I had the new I-xmltv.exe for Yahoo-wurlston build in the folder. Replaced it with the correct 1.3c version and it ran like a charm. Big Grin I did only get 1 day with it set for 1 day. Put back my old settings and all is good.

Now I'm all set up with Schedules Direct, with 4 days to spare. Thanks so much for your help. Smile

Good to hear.

Interesting. I must have run it 2 dozen times today and every time it was 14 days...

Thanks for this guide... I was wanting to use Schedules Direct and I-XMLTV, so now I'm happy and it works great.

When I set day=1, it downloaded 3 days... no rhyme or reason to the madness Smile

Yeah, last night GBPVR did the EPGupdate at the normal time and I got one day. So I set it to 14 for today.

I don't know what I would do without I-xmltv's (*) to denote a new show. Smile

The * is the reason I feared losing zap2it and I-xmltv. With the new fall season approaching and zap2it ending, it looked like trouble was looming. But thanks to the enthusiasts in this community, at SD, and the larger xmltv community, a new version of one file (xmltv.exe), and $5/month, has resolved months of worry, for me and many others I'm sure.

My hat's off to all the folks here that provide these tools which allow us to keep control of our PVRs for as long as possible. Big Grin
