Unable to get guide data into WMC

#1

Post by AllIn7MC » Wed May 02, 2018 3:04 am

Hi, I have followed the direction on the PDF for epg123 and made a schedules direct account and line up, but am unable to get any data into Windows Media Center.

I made a task and it did run.

Below is the last couple of sections from the log file. I have uninstalled and re-installed it as well.

Sorry if I am missing a step, but if you have any advice I would appreciate it!

Thanks

Open the EPG123 Client and click the Match by: [# Number] button.

That's it.

edit, nevermind, it changed to xml when i deleted the task.
Is is possible my automatching did not work because the automatch file is pointed at the epg123.exe file instead of the mxl file? (see second image in initial post).

I am pretty sure I did not change that to the exe file, but I'm still poking around.

(also, I got the lineup, but for some reason most of my stations don't work...I may post for help about that as well, but let me give it another shot first)

edit2: I have reported a lineup problem to schedules direct, as many channels are not correct.

Thanks

The file shown is for the task, not the guide/listings. FullMode will point to the executable; ClientMode will point to the MXF file.

In the client, if you expand the left side listings to the right, you will see a checkbox image beside the Scanned Sources pulldown. If you activate that it will only display the enabled channels. The status bar at the bottom of the GUI will then say something to the effect of 398 shown which should match the number of services shown.

What do you mean by "don't work?" Do you have the correct lineup?

The lineup from Schedules Direct was way out of date. A lot of SD channels mapped to absolutely nothing on my provider. I've contacted SD and they are helping and working on the correct lineup for my area. Thanks.
