I have had luck using YApi2XML, but the link at is old and seems to not have any final solutions either. Which I have no TVguide.xml anywhere on my PC I can find. Same if I try the grabber TVguide.xml File.

I've selected the grabber tv_grab_na_dd, in the scheduler tab of the Program guide section of the MediaPortal Configuration but when it runs it asks for Schedule Direct info.

I've downloaded it and extracted the 32 binary and I've configured MediaPortal to look for the executable. Speaking of which when I click on webEPG.exe (not the WebEPG - conf.exe) nothing happens, and my firewall is configured appropriately.įor xmlTV I've read what I can find. Concerning WebEPG, it mentions an XMLtv folder for the manual directions - which isn't there, and no mention of creating it. I've read the wiki step by step guide for WebEPG too - no luck.

So far I have tried xmlTV and webEPG both to no luck. I'm aware of schedules direct, but I would like to avoid this if i can. I've read the sticky in the xmltv section but that uses Zap2it - gone, then I followed a link using CT TV listings - gone too. I'm sure this question has been asked before, but can anyone give me a step by step guide to getting the Program listings in MediaPortal 1 RC 2 to work in the USA using a free service?

Mediaportal webepg use schedule direct
