Is there any setting to change the EPG output to XML vs the XMLTV?
I tried searching around but didn't fin anything.
Under the epg123task.xml I see that I change the working directory, but don't see anything about changing the actual filename.

I'm not sure I follow. Do you mean the filename extension? epg123.xml versus epg123.xmltv? That is all it is is the extension... the contents are xml in the xmltv schema.

Yeah. I was just curious if the extension could be changed to just .xml.
Thanks!

There is nothing in place to do so. Is there a reason for it to be needed?

Some versions of dvblogic won’t see files named *.xmltv but do see *.xml to import epg - I think maybe they only look for “TVGuide.xml” in a certain folder. Perhaps other programs do the same. I was considering asking about this when I first used epg123 and I was having trouble where epg123 kept losing the matched channels. But I resolved this by renaming all my channels to the short code form used by SD and haven’t had any issues since.
Also, while I’m here - on the wmc menu page sometimes the date with the epg123 logo is US and sometimes British (4/5/19 v 5/4/19 for today) I don’t think I’ve changed anything... wondering how I can keep it as British? Thanks

It shouldn't jump around like that. For that date stamp, I rely on the operating systems regional format settings... I don't manipulate it in any way.

Ah. No idea why windows is doing that then. It’s no big deal. Thought maybe I was missing an option for it. I can live with incorrect date formats. Thanks!

Is there possibly a pattern that it is in the correct format if someone is logged in to the system, but reverts to US format if it is woken to perform the update?

I was playing around with MMUI the other day - I may have changed the rating to US - I’ll change it back tonight to see if it changes it at all.
Though I’ve so many customisation and things to keep WMC running on Windows 10 it could be anything
if nobody else is experiencing it then it’s probably something on my machine. I’m not too worried tbh.
The PC never sleeps. It’s on 24/7 apart from a scheduled restart at night. This restart is well outside of the hours epg123 is doing anything.
