rofl, so I got it working... sort of.

I am US using OTA digital antenna.

I setup C:/EPG to include the MC2XML.EXE file and then went to C:/users/public/NPVR/scripts and made the Update.EPG.bat which included:

C:
cd "C:\EPG"
mc2xml

When I run the script I get the following error.
mc2xml error tcp 124363R 124658H

However, when I open NextPVR and grab EPG data from there, my C:/EPG folder gets populated with a xmltv.xml file that has all my local stations. I then direct XBTV's PseudoTVLive to that file and all imports fine.


So then I figured out that the script above has to have the .EXE on mc2xml for it to work. When i do that, I get no "mc2xml error tcp 124363R 124658H" error, and command prompt informs me "No New Data is Available."

So now i will need to wait and run it in a few days and see if it finds new data.

The only other issue, is figuring out how to make that script run every few days on it's own.


Thanks for all the help so far everyone. Just crazy how one tiny thing throws the hole thing off. =)

task scheduler to the batch file. https://support.microsoft.com/kb/308569

my batch file is as follows "mc2xml.exe -d 36 -o xmltv.xml -s -6" the 36 is hours of guide data to pull. i have task scheduler run the batch every day at 6:30am. without grabbing enhanced or missing metadata it takes ptvl about a minute or two to load the epg. with enhanced metadata it takes about 10.

i am really looking forward to set-top box mode though. i enjoy the enhanced metadata .
