If my observation above is correct, in MC EPG setup you should not check "Run an executable to retrieve XMLTV data". That would be the file you tell MC to load. After you click "Save and Execute", you should go to the folder C:\ProgramData\GaRyan2\epg123\output\ and see if you get a file named epg123.xml, or epg123.xmltv. So, go back to EPG123 configuration, and check "Create XMLTV file". C:\ProgramData\GaRyan2\epg123\output\epg123.xml.
I would expect that the XMLTV file would also be in the same folder, i.e. Notice that on that page, it says the output file is at C:\ProgramData\GaRyan2\epg123\output\epg123.mxf. JRiver Media Center can only use XMLTV file.įrom what I see here: I believe you should configure EPG123 to setup its own download schedule. This will create an XMLTV file in addition to the MXF file (which is used by Window Media Center). When you run EPG123 configuration, you should have checked the checkbox "Create XMLTV file" option. In addition to accuracy, it had in depth descriptions with numerical movie ratings! I am viewing this as an opportunity to get an EPG that is as vibrant as the one I had in WMC using EPG123 & SD. I expect that I am not the only one doing this now with the demise of Microsoft data.
I want to "Load XMLTV results from this file" but browse brings up nothing and I do not know the name of the file I should be looking for anyway. If I do need to, I do not know where to browse to or how to recognize it. I have no idea whether I need to "run an executable" or not. The threads at the Green Button do not apply to MC, jumping around various forum threads got me to the screen where, after choosing XMLTV, I was at the "load program guide" page. I tried to follow "USA TV setup" but it is five years old and all the images are missing.
I checked "view log" and it appeared that one was there. Which do I need, or do I need both?Īfter unpacking and installing the Setup, I completed the EPG123 Configuration panel by entering my schedules direct credentials, selecting the appropriate channels and hitting "save and execute". Specifically, starting at the top, when I go the EPG123 website there are two downloads, epg123Setup_v1.3.5.0.zip (installation package) and epg123_v1.3.5.0.zip (portable package). I have spent a couple of days chasing ancient Wikkis and forum posts that talk about EPG set up but do not provide step by step instructions for those of us that are less than computer programmers. I used it in Windows Media Center, it was easy to set up and I loved the enhanced data which included movie ratings. I have been struggling to get EPG123 to work in MC.
