Which guide did you follow? The earlier one (by Thomas) or my later version?

The earlier one suggests deleting a bunch of channel setup files (which I feel is generally not necessary and seems to cause what you're describing)...

To fix this, simply resetup the TV section in MCE2005 - and you'll get TV back...

THEN you need to re-import those .REG files again as resetting up TV / EPG will put back the old defaults.. and you should have TV back and EPG back.. See how you go with SmartGuide once you're back with a blank EPG and TV back again.

Thanks.

I used your updated guide.....

I tried running the TV setup again, now MCE finds way too many channels........why is that ?

Thanks for a already superb program. After a few hours installing and setting up everything I finally got it working after some manual editing of webguide2's database everything seems to be working nice. 14 days of tvprograms are now in my "custom" Swedish EPG (I used o2grabber for the XML grabbing part if anybody else in Sweden wanna know). Could'nt stop myself from posting a link to some sweet eyecandy

Hi

After following the smart guide, EPG works fine, except.. my system is set up with at satelitte dish and a receiver sending the signal into my tv-tuner card in one channel. That channel has offcourse all the channels from the receiver(when changing them on the receiver). What i ask is this.: Can I have the EPG guide working with the channels that I have on the receiver, but still only have the one channel for Live-tv. When I follow the guide, it makes as many channels as I have on the EPG. When all I need is the one channel from the receiver. wow confusing now How can I work around this?

OK, here is a fix for the "&" problem mentioned earlier.

save the attached file fart.exe (stands for find and replace text) to your windows/ehome directory

add the following lines to your batch file (or copy this text and paste into notepad and save as a findandreplace.bat). This routine will need to be run after TVHarvest but prior to refreshing MCE_Wizard.exe (Webguide)

******************************************************

c:\windows\ehome\fart listing2.xml "Crime & Investigation Network" "Crime and Investigation Network"

c:\windows\ehome\fart listing2.xml "Discovery Travel & Adventure" "Discovery Travel and Adventure"

Many thanks to the authors.

My SmartGuide is giving me a hard time

Thanks,

Hi guys

I'm having somewhat of a curious problem.

I followed the guide, and everything seemed to work.

At the momen, when I go to http://localhost/webguide2 I get the channel overview.

When I run the Smartguide.exe, and press the "WebGuide2MCE" it produces a XML file.

However when I press the "Loadguide from XML" I get "I am sorry, something went wrong....".

When I start MCE 2005 and navigate to the guide it says "No channels"

I am somewhat at a loss, so any help will be appriciated.

I got the same problem that hgr got, but my guide has worked fine for 2 - 3 weeks, but out of nowhere it stops updating the guide in MCE. If I look at http://localhost/webguide2 the data is there, but the doesnt seem

to be accepted by mce2005.

please help

Thanks Thomas for a great guide.  It helped me to get the EPG to work for me in Sweden. I used O2Grabber to grab the listing of Swedish channels, works great!

One problem... in MCE 2005 I cant search in the Guide... any idea? Thats the only problem for me right now.

About updates ;
Anyone with tips on how and how often its good to run the update-script? Should I download 14 days each day or just a few days each time? Can I update all info while MCE is in action?

Thanks for great applications and helpful people!

Performance issue with SmartGuide with 1,4 MB Access database (4743 rows in programe table). To open the guide takes 5-10 minutes... to scroll in time or channels takes 5+ min

The performance in http://localhost/webguide2/ is fine, no more than seconds to update, scroll in the guide...
