DVBGuide for Windows XP

#1

Post by daveh28 » Fri Mar 17, 2017 4:01 pm

Hi
I can get DVBGuide to work on my Windows 7 Mediacentre, however, I cant make it work on my Windows XP MCE2005.
It downloads channel data from the UK Crystal Palace transmitter saving it to a 14Mb xml file.
On running MCGuideLoad it encrypts the data but then gives the error "Failed to load guide."

Any ideas on how to make it work, please?

Windows event viewer shows the following error.

I meant to say that I've already emailed the two addresses I could find for DVBGuide, but have had no response.

The first few lines of the xml file are as follows:

<epg_data supplier="DVBGuide" supplier_info="DVB broadcast EPG captured by DVBGuide" start_time="2017-02-24T00:00:00" end_time="2017-03-04T07:00:00" language="en" schema_version="1.1" file_version="9196782" supplierId="1" headendNetworkType="TER" headendId="12339" headend_name="DVB-T - London" ads_required="0">

<tuneRequests ct="359" xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-sql" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

</tr>
<tr xsi:type="trGenericType" number="1">

...etc

Hope this helps!
